Heather "Shorty" BurkinshawStanley

Hi my name is Heather, AKA Shorty for those who know me from Waffle house.  As you know last Thursday morning approixmatly 2:35 AM the Waffle House I worked at was robbed. The robbers gave a note to one of my coworkers instructing her give all of the money from the register or they would come back and shoot everyone. In the heat of the moment, as the robbers left, I ran to my car and retrieved my gun. I  positioned myself at a safe angle and too fire in to the woods. In an attempt to scare the robbers who were in the process of getting in their vehicle. Not knowing if they were retrieving their weapon to return to the Waffle House. My shot must have gotten their attention as they rapidly drove off. Due to this action of firing a round safely in the air I have lost my job.  I am a mother of three childern and have a disabled husband. Being the sole income, short term assistance would be welcomed to help  make ends meet until I can secure another job. Any and all donations would be graciously appreiciated. Monies raised will be used to pay for heat and utilites. As well as any care that my family may require until I can find employment.  I am actively seeking work. 
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.  May God bless.

And for those of you who don't know me I have had gun safety in my whole life my dad taught hunter safety for 10 years and I was at every class.
