Here via a circuitous route that's too ridiculous to trace.

I work with Deaf victims of domestic and sexual assault in Iowa, and hence have at least some rudimentary knowledge of violent crime procedures. Reading this post, it occurred to me that you could probably find financial help through something like Iowa's Crime Victims' Compensation Fund.

So, with my l33t Google-fu, I found this:

(I read something somewhere in these comments about Baltimore, so I'm going on that assumption that you're in Maryland).

I hope this helps.

I also wanted to join my voice to the chorus of support. And stranger-type internet hugs. Ginger hugs, at least, so as not to aggravate your injuries.
