My sister Mikka Thomas needs your help!

So I'm sure most of you know by now what happened to my sister and that her life will forever be changed! To get back to somewhat normalcy whenever that is for her is going to take a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and years. Maybe normalcy is just a hope and dream I have for her because I know how strong of a person she is and I know she's not just going to give up without a fight. Is there ever really normalcy after something so traumatic? I don't know, we have never been through anything like this.

09/06/20:  She was just shy of the safety of where she lives. So close yet so far. She had steps to go to that safety where once she shuts and locks the door behind her she doesn't have to go through this brutal attack. Before she could get there a monster took that away from her. Erik Donhouser-Sagmoen with rock already in hand,  came from behind her and began to bash that rock over her head and then repeated that bashing again and again. From bash one until the last she screamed, begged, and pleaded for her life. In between every one of those hits with that rock she saw glimpses of white light and his eyes staring directly into hers with pure evil, hate, and rage. Her screams for help became weaker as did her pleas to God to save her. She let that last screaming beg out for someone to help her and that he was killing her. She knew that was all she had left in her and she was probably never going to exist in this world again. Thank God there were heros inside of their house that heard those screams and ran out with their dogs and demanded him to get off of her and then gave it all they had to chase and hold the POS there until police arrived. I cannot thank these people enough for saving my sister and fighting a battle  of their own just to keep him there, to make sure he was punished for his actions. That man, his wife, and their two dogs are angels and my family will forever be in debt to them for their act of  courage and bravery. 

To keep imaging everything my sister went through breaks my heart and makes me sick to my stomach at the same time. Every emotion, every feeling, every blow to the head, every beg, every thought of her loved ones she would never see again, every fear and worry that there was no help coming, every second she went through is horrible! Everytime I think about it I have a panic attack and just cry. Imagine what she feels. That will probably play in her head over and over for the rest of her life. Life for her has changed.

I said all that to say this. I could really use everyone's help to help her! Her attack happened in front of where she lives and I don't ever want her to have to walk past the same place that brutal attack happened! That would be a mental mind fuck everyday and she doesn't need anything else on top of all this. She is already damaged enough. She is already going to need years of counseling, therapy, and doctor's visits to try and ease her suffering. So i'm asking for help so we can get her a new place to live so she never has to look at that spot again and constantly see how close she was but didn't make it to the comfort of home. So if anyone is willing to help out that would be greatly appreciated!! Even if she has to go to a hotel for a couple of weeks until a new place is found and ready to move her in. She can't go back. Any help would be a blessing. I am flying in on the 11th because I don't want her to feel scared and alone. And I just want to hug her and be there for her. She needs support, love, and compassion at this point. So hurry up September 11th so I can do whatever I need and have to to keep her mind occupied and keep her laughing with all this funny I was born with. As soon as I lay eyes on her I'm going to break down I know it just having to see my twin that's 19 months older than me broken, but she needs me right now, and maybe just maybe for a split second she'll feel a sense of it's gonna be ok and comfort. She has a journey ahead but I know it's going to get better over time and I want her healing process to begin as soon as possible and I'm sure a different surrounding will be the first step to all of this. Thanks to everyone who as reached out and keep the support and prayers coming!
