Betty Jo Brewer (shooting survivor)
Donation protected
I have had a "GoFundMe" page put up on here from my loving step-daughter right after I was shot. I looked today and some how got taken down.
I am not one who likes to ask for charity, but this severe tragedy has pushed my pride out of the way.
On Tuesday January 24th, 2017, in the morning hours, out of pure shock and anxiety, my family, which included my 6 month old granddaughter heard loud explosion noises and looked out the window and seen, what we thought was a crazy, random shooter, directly targeting our home.
We were in a serious state of shock and called 911 immediately. We directed everyone to get on the floor until police got here, but my kids were so worried that our doors were unlocked that I felt I had to carefully go make sure that both of our front and back doors were securely locked up before I was safe on the floor with my family. As I was coming back from the back door, I was shot in the chest in front of my heart and fell to the floor which prompted another family member to call 911 off another phone line to alert them that there was a gun shot victim now from the shots that entered our family home. At that point, I seriously thought I was passing away because of the immense blood loss and the area that I incurred the tragic wound. Thank God, I was wrapped in, what I firmly believe God's loving arms or my parents and loved ones that have passed on before me! I am a survivor! I have a very long road ahead of me to recovery, but I am confident that we will be OK.
I am however experiencing unexpected medical, home, and vehicle expenses and probably more that I haven't even considered.
The man who is responsible for this, hit two prior places that caused the beginning of his rampage. He is in police custody and being held right now without bond. Thank God, again. Praying Justice will eventually be served. Until this gets started, I am begging for anyone who is able to donate absolutely any amount of $$, I can attest to the fact that any and every amount will greatly help and be greatly appreciated! Thank You in advance for your loving and kind words and generosity!
