On March 13th, my daughter was attacked by her estranged husband. He slashed her throat, nicking her artery, he stabbed her in the chest, barely missing her lungs and heart.  He stabbed her shoulder, severing nerves, causing numbness and weakness, that may keep her from the work that she loves. My beautiful brave daughter fought for her life and lived! She had only been at her new job for four months and does not qualify for FMLA. She lost so much blood, she had to have a blood transfusion and is now severely anemic. Her doctors will not clear her to return to work until June. That's 2 1/2 months with no paycheck! I am reaching out to friends and family to help her with bills, until she can return to work. It breaks her heart that she may not be able to return to the work that she loves, as she no longer has the physical strength required,  to work with the special needs people she came to know and love.
