Vanessa's Emergency Fund

Several days ago, my sweet sister Vanessa was savagely beaten by someone not only that she shared a home with but someone she thought that she loved and whom she believed loved her too. In the wake of his abuse, he has left her smile utterly destroyed both literally and metaphorically. She was punched and beaten so many times that once all was said and done, he has destroyed eight teeth total with two completely missing... root and all. He also managed to shatter the roof of her mouth, gave her a black eye, bruises from head to toe and that's just the physical damage. Right now she is having an extremely hard time with even the most basic daily tasks such as eating, drinking and speaking. In addition to the physical damage there is also a large emotional trauma lingering and she unfortunately faces a very long road to a full recovery. With all that is at hand, the financial aspect is extraordinarily  daunting. An estimated $20,000 in reconstructive dental work has been assessed but we have been given some hopeful updates that assistance could be an option for us to cover the cost--Which would of course be a huge help!!

However.... we also recently learned that there is a baby on the way!  Babies are a sweet sweet blessing, always.. regardless of circumstance. And it is my belief that everything she has gone through will now not be for not with this this precious addition to our little family.  

I am asking for contributions to help restore her life and prepare for our precious peanuts arrival. There is a HUGE start over necessary here and a pregnancy in addition changes everything. With the surgery, sickness, healing and recovery time of the extensive dental work it will be quite sometime before she bounces back and can return to work and life as usual. Please give whatever you are able to help her move on and put this nightmare behind her!   With a new  baby on the way our help is of the essence!
