Hello Everyone, this is Anne :) Honestly, this is one of the most personal and challenging things for me to break down my walls, start this go fund me and let you into my world and ask for help!! I can only be raw and honest with you and tell you my story regarding my current life situation and where I find myself.

Most of you know I was attacked by a 150lb Great Dane in March this year. I have been through continuous weeks & months of Physical Therapy which still led to the path of Surgery in August with a 6 to 12-month minimum of full recovery time as I had nerves completely damaged and severed in my right hand and middle finger. As a result, I cannot feel anything in certain parts of my finger and hand & when I do, it feels like pins and needles on fire. I can also not control my ability to hold objects or put pressure on my fingers or hand. In addition, I cannot stop some of my fingers' involuntary reactions and movements. This is just a little bit of my everyday dealings regarding my injuries.

I have tried to stay as positive as possible regarding what has happened, staying focused on all that is good. I continue my schooling in a future career that I am very excited about, and I look forward to being an RT in a few years! I do what I can to not let my depressive side take over and allow those closest to me to give a helping hand. Help has been in various ways, a night out, the movies, a visit out of town; and lately, most needed, financially.

With the injury and the disability it caused, I have been unable to work for many months. In the beginning, it wasn't so bad. I was able to make ends meet with savings and then slowly; things began to happen. I started picking and choosing what bills to pay; I continued to make ends meet with some nannying and babysitting jobs when I could; I've even applied for unemployment, additional school loans and even a claim regarding the dog attack. Unfortunately, at this time, none of these avenues have panned out, and I find myself not treading water but very much underwater!!

Now comes the very hard part! The telling of my complete truths! It has been months since I have even been able to make payments on any of my bills! I now find myself in the process of repossession of my vehicle, looking at possible eviction and not paying everyday bills. Water, electricity, basic groceries and even how I'm going to get the gas money I need to get to and from school and clinical have become part of my daily life! So I now humbly ask, in addition to your many beautiful thoughts and prayers, for financial help as well. I would like for nothing more than to keep a vehicle, maintain my home and pay my monthly bills so that I can continue to heal and focus on schooling and clinical until I can return to work and once again support myself. I realize this is a huge ask, and please know that it is not an easy one!! I thank you in advance for your time in even reading this, your continued kindness through your thoughts and prayers, and most certainly for any contributions that can be made.
