Experiencing glitch that erased my game data

So long story short, I was playing the game and I had to shut down my computer the improper way (holding power key) because windows flipped out on me. Upon relaunching the game, all of my sprites with my character are gone, the gallery is empty like I haven't played. Before I reset, the percentage of game text scene dropped from 50 something percent to 0.03% and all of the endings I had completed are gone except for one, the latest one I got. 

I can access my old saves (except for the most recent save I made before I shut the computer down) but the game does not register the completion on the extras menu , it's basically acting as if I've never played before.  When I try to load my most recent save I get this:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Is there any fix? 

Developer

Can you send your save folder to contact@argentgames.co? We can look into it.

Sure, how would I do this?

Developer

If you find the folder: C:\Users\Lakia\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\RedEmbraceHollywood[may contain additional numbers here], just zip that whole thing up and send it over.

I just sent it over. Hopefully I did everything right, lol.
