SEVEN YEARS FROM THE DAY HEATHER WAS SHOT, OCTOBER 14, 2004, HER
MEDICAL CARE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. We
are asking the caring, general public to help to keep her alive.
Without 24 hour nursing care, Heather can not survive. Any help
would be greatly appreciated! You may send donations to
the Heather Grossman Trust at M&I Bank, Account #315 60895.
Thank you for caring and for all of your support!
One of the most
difficult things for battered women to face, is the feeling of not
having anywhere to turn for help. These women convince
themselves people won't believe them, the abuse will get worse if they
talk to anyone about it or maybe if they wait long enough it will
stop. Please realize this isn't true-and you don't have to
resign yourself to this life!
