Dog Bite to Asia Marie's Face

Donation protected
PLEASE BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE MOST RECENT UPDATE FOUND ON THIS PAGE! (Below is the original campaign story) but WE WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO SHARE ONE FINAL UPDATAE AND EXPRESSION OF 'UNMEASURABLE' GRATITUDE TO YOU ALL.  

This go fund me page is to assist our beautiful Asia Marie after a tragic dog bite she recieved to her face. On April 20th, Asia suffered a severe wound to her head, face, and upper neck, in conjunction with a fractured cheek bone and broken nose in two areas. With only two weeks of healing under her belt, she has been hospitalized three times with complications due to infection and swelling.  As the length of her hopsital stay increases, Emilee (Asia's mother) struggles to meet the demands of her now injured, special needs child.  The financial responsiblities in the foreseeable future, as well as the setbacks accrued during this difficult time, are indescribable. Emilee's employment (a position as a home-care nurse) came to an emotional end just a few weeks earlier, after the passing of her long-term patient and friend.  With the unexpected need for new employment, Emilee recently acquired a position that was scheduled to begin during the time of Asia's accident.  As you can imagine, no mother wants to leave their child's bedside; however,  with a non-verbal child unable to appropriately communicate her needs- Emilee and Rich are the advocates and voice for this loving little girl.

Once Asia conquers the danger of infection, many reconstructive surgeries will come in the years ahead. With the uncertanty of the uncovered medical expenses, we ask for your help, support, and prayers. We know that Emilee, Rich, and their family will be more than appreciative as they face increased expenses by the day... offsetting the cost of transportation and healthy meals, helping care for the children at home while they attend to the hopsital, all the way to medical expenses reaching the tens of thousands for multiple surgeries.  

On behalf of this hearbreaking struggle, we established a financial goal to represent a jump start for Aisa's unforseen future. Without knowing an exact dollar amount for such tragedy, we have selected a numerical figure represented by the average cost of dog bite claims; however this does not take into consideration that such events often times take years to correct... from a medical standpoint.

With these efforts to support Asia Marie, we express our love, appreciation, and gratitude!  Thank you!
