(which is unlikely), or someone from.one of our many, many hate sites has decided to make me the most reccent victim of their stalking behavior. They reported my GoFundMe account as fraudulent and misleading, so GFM sent me an email basically saying, "Prove that you're innocent or we will shut down your account, and also we are freezing all your funds until you do". WTF!
Anyway, I sent them all the evidence that I could manage from here, considering that I am IN THE HOSPITAL at the moment, the fucking cowards. I told them that they were welcome to stop by my house and have a look around to see that we are poor, living in a totally non-accessible trailer, and that yes, I DO need a wheelchair ramp, wider doorways, a shower chair and grab bars, and that my wheelchair and powerchair are in need of repair. I also gave them the name of my spine doctor--the one who sent me here today for emergency care.
I sincerely hope that this was someone from one of the "hate all DU'ers" sites, and not from an actual poster HERE. It would hurt me a lot to feel like someone thought I was just a liar, making things up. I would never do such a thing, never.
Anyway--if it was someone from one of the hate sites? SCREW YOU. I gave them my sworn pledge and PLENTY of evidence. Go straight back to the miserable, Trump-shit infested CAVE that you crawled out of. Yeah, you know what I mean.
There needs to be a great big middle finger emoji
EDIT: First of all, a DU'er has found the culprits over at That Conservative Hate Site which involved "cave diving" if you know what I mean. I will not link it here, but it's not hard to find on your own, if you want to. So at least I know it was nobody here, and that means the world to me.
Secondly--video update #2 is now live!
Edit #2: still at the hospital. My first MRI scan reading looking negative for Cauda Equina!!!! We will find out for sure in a few hours, but I am hopeful.
Because those tangerine-shitgibbon humpers over at THAT site managed to get my GFM funds frozen for at least a day or two, please feel free to PM me for a Paypal address that you can use to thwart those taintwaffles if you would like to donate. I will add it to the total later as an "offline" or non-GFM donation.

(i'll just leave this here, since i know these monstrous bastards like to stalk...)
My name is Debra D. Linder, and i am a first-person witness to the struggles that Brandy L. Heinze (DUer "Lyric" has endured for years upon years, and would be willing to swear a deposition in court regarding her physical disabilities and the lack of resources that have led her to seek help through GoFundMe, as well as other local assistance organizations for the disabled.
She and i have been a part of one another's lives for SEVENTEEN YEARS, and in that time i have witnessed -- as her health and mobility have deteriorated due to degenerative spine issues and the other health issues that has spawned -- transform from an active, vibrant, almost over-independent person to someone who absolutely requires the assistance of others for her very ability to live life of any quality at all.
The monetary resources that she seeks to make any degree of mobility more possible are necessary for her physical and mental health, but beyond what our household finances can absorb without outside assistance...
If this bullshit attack has come from some Cave dwellers, or from those who are not so much capable of Discussion as of being hurtful, hateful monsters... fuck you very much. You know nothing... you ~are~ nothing, and i hope there actually ~is~ a hell so you can rot there.

(60,071 posts)it was to help pay for procedure called a Whipple procedure. Some people from Free Republic told paypal that it was a scam and they froze the account. I don't know if he ever got it unfrozen, or if he got the operation, but he died soon after.
What is the Whipple surgery?
The Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy) is a complex operation to remove part of the pancreas, part of the small intestine and the gallbladder. The Whipple procedure is most often used to treat pancreatic cancer that's confined to the head of the pancreas.

Best advice? Challenge all assumptions. Google some user names and things like Free Republic, or just the user names. Don't give your email to anyone who PM's you.

(19,564 posts)It's good to be reminded that I'm as guilty as the next person of not thinking broadly enough. I'll follow your advice. Thank you.
I should know better. More so than most of our members here.
Pro tip: Don't use the same photo sharing account for multiple social media/forums, and mixup your email accounts. They're free after all, no reason not to have one per account now. That's how my weirdo tracked me down a few years ago. Even though it wasn't linked to my real name, and all of the accounts used a random username (such as I use here). I'd given enough details across the various accounts to be tracked back to me. Don't make my mistake when there's no reason for you to. Be careful out there ladies (and gentlemen), there are some sick puppies in this world.

your physical condition improves. I don't understand people. It takes a sick mind to do what this "animal" did. They do not deserve being called a person. I do hope everything turns out well for you. Who, or what, ever did this "deplorable" act needs to be busted and publicly shamed. 👿

(5,435 posts)She went to the ED late this afternoon, after conferring with her spine doc
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028162587
I just got a text from her and her fiance', and the attending doc is sending her to imaging for an MRI tonight...
If this is indeed Cauda Equina, they will be doing emergency surgery to try to avoid her suffering any more nerve damage than has already been done...
