Help 9 year old Shark bite victim
Donation protected
On Sunday March 21, 2021, 9 year old Jay Weiskopf from Minnesota was visiting Miami Beach with his parents Kristi and Ren. The family had just arrived in town for their vacation and decided to splash around for a few minutes at the beach while their hotel room was being prepared when the unthinkable happened- Jay was attacked by a shark in less than two feet of water.
Jay was rushed to a nearby hospital and underwent surgery to close his large wound on his shoulder and arm. Thankfully, Jay's surgery went well and he is now home in Minnesota recovering. He is a strong and brave fighter, and with the love and support from his family, luckily Jay is going to be okay.
I am setting up this fund raiser in hopes to help ease some of the financial burden the Weinkopfs face after his intensive surgery, and to provide funds to support any kind of physical therapy and trauma counseling Jay might need as he recovers.
