Help Cover Medical Costs After Dog Attack

Donation protected
On May 22nd, I was attacked unprovoked by a pit bull that had no collar or leash. The attack sent me to the hospital where I received 7 stitches and multiple injections of the rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin, which cost thousands of dollars. I needed 3 more rabies vaccines after the fact, costing thousands of dollars in total. This same dog attacked another person less than a month after me and is suspected to have attacked more people previously. Pictures of the bite are shown below to give you an idea of the amount of damage the dog caused. It's still healing to this day.

The dog is owned by a person experiencing homelessness so I have no financial recourse to getting my medical expenses covered, not to mention law enforcement and animal control have a hard time locating the owner since he moves his tent camp after his dog attracts too much attention. These costs have severely set me back and I am in need of help with the remaining medical debt that my insurance hasn't covered.

I'm asking my communities to please provide anything they can so I can offset the impact of these costs as much as possible. Any amount helps.
