My name is Nicole and in 2013 my boyfriend of 8-9 years attempted to steal my life from me. Over a 10 hour period, he kept me in my house, while beating me with two aluminum baseball bats. I was finally found by a friend. And at that moment they thought that I was dead. My face was unrecognizable. My head was bashed in. Both of my arms were broken. And I had lost so much blood. The town that I live in stated on the news that this was the worst case that they had ever seen in over 30 years. Not to mention they thought that they had their first murder case for 2013.
As a result of that, I am blind in my right eye, I had to have brain surgery, I had to have facial reconstruction and both of my arms had surgery done to them where they had to remove bones and replace them with metal. I am still needing facial surgeries. That I am unable to pay for. I have constant migraines where there is titanium plates digging into my brain. Persistent pains in my eyes. My vision is getting worse.
I have been waiting on social security to make a decision on my case. And I have been waiting for 8 months now. I have fallen behind on my bills. My car is up for repossession. The landlord wants to file eviction on me on the 23rd of September. Which I will be homeless.
Honestly I feel like I'm at the end of my ropes. Even though I went through this trauma, and I have a hard time trusting and believing in people. My face is messed up. I still try to keep up positive upbeat attitude towards life. I just really need some help!
