The mother of two was left with a life changing injury when a rubber bullet struck her in the eye. She had to be helped to the hospital by strangers in the crowd, as her eye filled completely with blood.
After going through surgery, doctors informed her that she would be permanently blind in one eye.
Doctors project that it will take up to 6 months or more for the wounds and scarring on her face to heal.

Since this was done in trump's name, I am donating from the stimulus check he so generously gave me.
I'll make sure he knows it too.

And it's offensive to suggest otherwise. Of course I know you know the difference, but just alluding to IT as generously giving us poor folk some money is absurd.

(22,326 posts)5. I'd wait to donate to this one. It looks a little iffy. A few minutes ago on Twitter someone asked
her directly how to help her and she replied, "Please give your time or money if you can to your local food bank or bail fund. If you choose food bank, please consider diapers or formula in addition to shelf goods." She has routinely asked for people to stop centering her and her injury in this fight as well.
