My name is Brandi Bess. On August 13, 2021, while working as a security guard for Allied Universal at Alta Bates Medical Center, I was six months pregnant when I was attacked by a patient on the fourth floor. This traumatic event changed my life forever. Since that day, I have been living with PTSD, struggling to cope with the emotional and psychological aftermath of what happened to me and my unborn child.

The impact of this attack has been overwhelming. I have faced ongoing challenges with my mental health, and it has been difficult to manage daily life and expenses. I have been trying to find a lawyer for the past four years to help me seek justice and share the truth about my experience. The trauma from that day continues to affect me deeply, and I am working hard to heal and move forward.

I am reaching out for support to help cover the costs of therapy, living expenses, and legal assistance. Any help you can provide will make a meaningful difference in my journey toward recovery and justice. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering supporting me during this difficult time.
