Help Me Make A Stand Against My Bullies!

Hi, my name is Betty. I need some help from my family and friends. Hopefully, this is the last time I have to ask. If you don't want to help, then don't! Just don't think harshly of me for asking. Do us both a favor and just scroll on by.

I want to just give you a breakdown of how things have gone for me the past year. I have asked for help to get dogs moved for over a year. I had worked hard to move them into good homes. I had made an announcement I was getting out. Absolutely no one offered to help. Our area rescues and shelter have been slammed packed for a good while.

I had repeated shoulder injuries due to accidents and wrecks. This was over a period of the last 2 years. I had torn rotator and ripped muscles in my shoulder and upper back under my shoulder blade. After MRI and other tests and multiple different doctors, it was determined that my shoulder was not repairable by traditional surgery. The ortho told me it would be like trying to sew mud together. My muscles and stuff in that shoulder are unrepairable. I was told at my last ortho appointment that total shoulder replacement is the only thing that would work. However, the surgeon argues that I am too young. I have been doing physical therapy for a good while.

Then in April, it was discovered that I had abnormal cells. I had a biopsy done in the office and it showed precancerous cells. They scheduled me for surgery at the hospital for June 2nd. During surgery, they removed a huge mass and several other growths. Wednesday, June 4th, I got the news that shattered my world. I had cancer! I have surgery June 26th for a full hysterectomy and lymph node removal.

Thursday, June 5th, a woman trespassed on my property while I was gone. I have her on my security cameras. She made videos and pictures of my place, including all my dogs. She posted them on Facebook along with my address.

I had been gone all day to doctor appointments. I had to run out to pick up meds. So my pups that are usually loose when I was home were placed into the kennels. I thought, what the heck, it would be better than letting them get in the road. I wasn't going to be gone long. The woman just happened to trespass on my property and saw all that. It was bad, bad timing.

The woman actually came back on my property and threatened to beat my ass and put me in a cage. I got this all on my security camera. I called the law on them. There was 3 of them and one of me. The driver got arrested for suspended license. I took a restraining order out against the lady who threatened me.

Remember I had asked for help prior, no one could physically take any animals in. So I decided to ask our Animal Control for help. It had nothing to do with the hell I knew that was coming. I just couldn't physically do it anymore. I was told after my surgery I couldn't do absolutely nothing for a month and I would be on restrictions for 1 additional month. I didn't have any help. So I KNEW I needed some intervention really fast. Animal Control said they would help me. He said he could find rescues that could help me if I agreed to surrender the dogs. I agreed! It was the right thing to do! No matter what, I am glad I agreed to surrender them. I knew they went to caring rescues who have their best interest at heart! I don't regret that part none!

What I do regret is trusting people. The Captain at the Sheriff's department told me basically that they have to save face after all the uproar the woman caused. The sheriff's department got too much attention. This went against what the Animal Control Officer told me. So he's definitely going to prove a point. I will deal with all this. I have never ran from anything in my life.

I want to do something about the harassment the trespassing lady caused me. I have gotten several messages and read things on a public forum where folks wished me dead from cancer. People have threatened to come to my house and beat my ass and steal my dogs. Remember this lady posted my address for everyone to see! That's just a speck in the bucket.

I was sitting at my first oncology appointment at Novant Cancer Center in Mt. Airy Monday, June 9th. I read a message from a lady who told me if I didn't have cancer she hoped I would get it and die. She also said she hoped I went to hell. I just couldn't pull myself together. I spent a long time in my car bawling my eyes out until I could pull myself together and go in.

The lady who started this posted that I have said I had cancer multiple times and had chemo. God as my witness and I swear on my life never once have I said I had cancer. Honestly, having it is irrelevant to this and I am not sure why that was even freaking brought up by the person.

There is much more to this harassment! I understand how people are and how passionate folks are about animals. I get that. I also understand that in our county everyone is guilty FIRST! Especially when you make the county officials look bad. The others are not above the law just like I am not. It is wrong to do the things they have done to me!

I would like help to pay for legal help. I am absolutely not taking this by being quiet and submissive. I need help!
