HELP Samantha Survive: Cannon Falls Gunshot Victim
Donation protected
My name is Samantha, 26, I am from Cannon Falls, MN and I wan a victim of domestic violence, abuse, and my boyfriend tried to kill me. I'm writing this in hopes that many of you will find it in your hearts to try to put yourselves in my shoes as best as possible. donate to my unexpected emergency. I had posted this originally when I had a plan to try to get down to Texas so that Dean and I would have some space and a break from each other to decide if we wanted to try to make things work or call it quits.
On March 29, 2023, my boyfriend, Dean Anderson, 25, of two plus years pulled and fired one of his guns at me after physically attacking me, biting me and holding me down. He shot at me three separate times before he committed suicide.
I had been getting ready for work that morning… Back in in April 2022 Dean “hired” me on as his apprentice. I was his only help along with friends helping occasionally when we needed, after a previous buisness partnership with Divison 6-10 left him without his crew of guys, fork lift, storage pods, around over 10k in tools and supplies, and a large amount of money owed in profit sharing, bonuses, truck allowances, 10% company ownership, and reimbursements. Once Dean realized he was being used, he walked away and became very depressed and
I worked with him for free for an entire year. My credit is tanked due to me allowing my him to use and abuse my money, credit, and time. Please every dollar and donation helps us. Any financial help will greatly to improve mine and Cheechs survival . current living conditions. I need to find a place to live without any recent income, bad credit, and no proof of employment for over a year. I'm struggling badly, to say the least. While attempting to get used to life without yet another very important person to me and my life. With the sudden death of my partner to suicide, comes all this PTSD from the constant abuse, feelings of worthlessness, the yelling, degrading, embarrassment, shame, guilt, and manipulation. We were in an extremely toxic relationship for far too long. I was a victim of domestic abuse for the second time in my life. My parents also had a very toxic, narcissistic, abusive, manipulative, and controlling relationship.
I’m also grieving the loss and suicide of my mother (Katryna Gisch) who passed away in 2011 and my grandmother who adopted me at age 13 (Judy Noyes) just in November of 2021. It has been an absolutely treacherous uphill battle for me emotionally for the passed 10+ years. My extended and immediate family know I’m struggling to care for myself and my dog. But, my father and brothers in Randolph don’t care to talk to me anymore because my dad chooses to believe gossip and believe his own assumptions are always correct. I lost my job (no I wasn’t getting paid but I had a purpose everyday even if it was being his right hand helper all day everyday). My car broke down not too long before this awful Wednesday happened… also, due to the police “stand off” and them feeling the need to pull off the entire front of our home with a crane arm, break in all the doors, and take basically everything in as evidence. The home was marked “uninhabitable” by the police, Dean never got around to adding me onto the house, now Cheech and I are homeless. Some things I won’t get back including my MacBook Air and iPad that were missing for most of the winter, Dean had thrown them into the snow and I found them recently when the snow melted…. By the grace of God I have been welcomed to stay with a couple I met just prior to this hard time. Although I am in a very unexpected and unimaginable situation, I do not feel that it is completely okay to stay for free and if anybody would be willing to donate any amount for anything- dog food, gas gift cards, Amazon, grocery, gas, dollar store, pet store gift cards, or cash to help get my car fixed or go towards a newer used vehicle, I’d be forever grateful. all donations I will forever be thankful and when I can, I will be paying it forward in any way I can. I have not been able to retrieve all of my of my personal belongings from the house, like I mentioned. I am currently struggling to provide for my dog and I. Any donations received would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and donations that have been given to me. My gratitude is immeasurable. Thanks again, Samantha & Cheech
