Family dog attacked 5year old

My cousins daughter Emma was attacked by the family dog on New Years Eve. This was a random violent attack, and there were no signs of this being a risk prior to the event. Her mother is a single working mom, and could really use some support to relieve the costs of living that will be affected as she takes time off with her oldest child.

She had emergency surgery on New Years Eve but will be spending the next few months in the hospital, with the next few weeks in ICU, being evaluated and treated as she is in critical condition. She will come home with a trach and her voice box was compromised. It’s hard to say how life will be for her moving forward, but with love and support from the community it will relieve some uncertainty for her and her family as they make adjustments in their day to day lives.

Anything is appreciated, thanks for taking the time to hear Emma’s story, we will continue to update as we know more.
