Help Yvette (EVY) Fight Sepsis (Bone Infection)
Donation protected
Good day, my name is Yvette nickname Evy by my late sister , I'm fundraising to raise money after suffering a severe dog bite that became infected days later. After losing my sister in 2017, I drove cross country to pick up and adopt her beloved 4 year old pit-bull Sosa. My baby Sosa was very well taken care of and truly loved by our small family my daughter and I , basically he was the man of the house. Unfortunately on January 25, 2022 Sosa bit my left hand causing a life changing injury fracturing bones and deep laceration leading to 2 emergency rooms visits in a week resulting in complications. Upon my 2nd ER visit it was discovered I had an infection of the blood and bone leading to emergency surgery , 5 day hospitalization with round the clock intravenous antibiotics and pain relief. Now I must continue home care with IV antibiotics with weekly RN visits, blood work , dressing changes to my intravenous implanted catheter for many weeks. Follow up visits with my Infectious Control MD and my Hand Surgeon. My Hand Specialist has not been able to repair the fracture and destroyed tendons until the infection has been totally cleared systemically . I have been informed some my left hand fingers will not have full range of motion permanently. As a living my job is not hard labor but I need both hands to function to perform acupuncture and help others in healing. Worst of all is this accident occurred shortly after starting a new job , which results in presently not being medically insured.
