Support the Teacher-Lifting Kim

Below are the words of my sister....she was attacked by a student in her 8th grade classroom!  The attack was brutal and as she lay helpless on the floor he asked if she was dead!  No Honey, She isn't dead!  You do NOT get that much credit!  She is however left with some serious injuries!   She is suffering right now from a Traumatic Brain Injury which has left a once extremely well organized, intelligent, caring, beyond busy mother/individual feeling alone and frightened.  Mrs. Fisher is a well loved teacher for many years.   She is the person who would literally give you the shirt off her back and go without just so that you didn't have to.  I have witnessed this time and time again.  THIS is why I am creating this page for her!   

Because of the TBI Kim is suffering complications, her speech is slurred with stuttering, impaired vision, and memory loss!  While she is under strict doctors orders she can not function at the capacity that she was so very used to!  This is impacting her financially pretty severely.  She will not receive her full salary nor will she be able to operate her online college courses that she used to supplement her salary during the summer months!   She is not one to take hand outs and truth be told, no one in our family is however, this is an event that warrants some assistance!  If there is anything I can do to help her, this is it!

So please...consider supporting one of your local teachers and help raise her up!  She is in need of lifting!




I know that I have many friends that care. Thank you. 
I can’t share too much right now, but I am so sad and alone.

I was assaulted by a student, more attacked, on April 19th. I will share a *couple* of pictures. I am unable to drive, use the technology (this is voice text with corrections), and have pretty severe memory loss on a daily basis.

There have been a few coworkers that are by my side, and for that, I am grateful.

I had an 8th grade book bag THROWN, *not dropped*, and NOT MISSED, at the side of my head, by my temple/eye. I was pushed, and hit repeatedly (even while down and apparently unconscious) by a student that was much larger than I am while my poor kids (students) watched. *I DID clear the classroom for THEIR safety.

I continued to try to go to work for the kids. My vision became so blurry that I couldn’t even read the board, and I was stuttering so much my kids didn’t want to leave me, and I didn’t realize the enormity of it.

I was diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury by a neurosurgeon.

My brain is my tool. It’s how I run my family and feed them.

Stress makes the stuttering and symptoms worse. If your not beside me, please, just let me heal.

It’s easy to stand with the crowd, it takes courage to stand alone.

I won’t get paid my full salary, And usually teach college in the summer- however I can’t pick up another job that uses my brain. This is a MAJOR burden on my family. ....not to mention what it’s doing to my MY kids, who see an empty room where their mom once was.

So before you listen to stories concocted to make others feel good about themselves, please think about my life right now. The lives of my students, and my family.

I can’t answer texts or emails. 

That’s all for a while. It was just time to speak up. I’ll update after the next neurosurgeon appointment.
