<div>As many of you are aware, my best friend was attacked, mugged and carjacked right outside of her home in Uptown last week. They no longer feel safe in their home which creates a financial and emotional burden I don't want them to have to handle alone. Please consider a donation and a kind word for two of the most loving and generous people I have ever met.

<div>In her own words this is what happened-
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"On Monday December 12th, 2022 outside of my apartment in Uptown I was attacked and robbed. Two men in all black, wearing black ski masks lunged toward me and beat me up and took my belongings. Having a split second moment where I thought to myself how I was going to survive/die right in this moment I chose to fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m 5’3 but I fought, made myself as big and loud as I possibly could but it was to no avail. These men pushed/kicked/punched me and I still fought. Once they got what they wanted they ran. Well I ran after them. I was able to catch them in their get away car but was too late they skidded off as I yelled and banged on their windows. Adrenaline pumping unable to understand/process the next minute neighbors from all around were calling the police and yelling from their apartment windows if I needed to call someone. All of a sudden one of the voices of a neighbor calls out to me ”their back! They are behind you!” immediately I see a man and a women jump into my car and steal it. As I run over to my car the women in the passenger seat flips me the bird as they peel off in my car.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Within a minute or so nearly 5 squad cars are outside asking me all the questions. They notify me that this is the 7th car jacking of these individuals on that day and they have been following them thus the rapid response. I learned in minneapolis it is illegal for them to pursue (only mn state police can). After hours of updates I was able to have my ID and one credit card recovered. Whilst these criminals went joy riding and then stole an 8th vehicle before the police lost them again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Call the bank (cancel your bank cards), call your insurance (file a stolen vehicle report), call landlord (change your locks), etc…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then it’s to the hospital:
</div>
<div>I’m alright physically. I have superficial bruising and a ton of soreness: ct scans of head/neck are all clear my X-rayed ribs/wrist are also good.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I cant begin to comprehend two days after how this is impacting me and my future self. All I know is I’m a master at compartmentalizing and although not always the healthiest I will emotionally unpack this little by little. My items are all still missing. My sense of safety, independence, and confidence are also gone. I dont know how to move forward. I dont know how to deal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today is the first day that I’ve been alone to process what has happened and I cant. I am soo angry, I’m so sad. I need to find a new vehicle, move out, and get myself together to move forward. I’m just not sure how to do that. I’m a hyper vigilant person usually and I just feel like a shell of a human.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Super grateful to have a supportive husband, family, coworkers and friendships helping me through. It just really is the darkest moment I have ever experienced in my life."
