Hey Helpmeout1101,
We'd be happy to help out. If you stored your contacts in iCloud, you may be able to recover them using the steps available here:
Restore your contacts or bookmarks from an earlier version
1. Sign in to iCloud.com.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the window, then select Data Recovery.
3. Select Restore Contacts or Restore Bookmarks.
4. Select Restore next to the date before you deleted the content.
5. Select Restore again to confirm. After the restore completes, you get a notification on iCloud.com and an email at the address on file with your Apple ID.
This is outlined further here: If you accidentally deleted your calendars, bookmarks, or contacts from iCloud - Apple Support
We hope this helps out.
Take care!
