Please help my daughter, Shyana & grandbabies

Hello, my name is Christina. I am asking for any help for my daughter and grandchildren. They were attacked by dog.
This is our unimaginable story...
My oldest daughter, Shyana and my grandchildren came to have lunch with my youngest daughter, Bryanna who was at home while I was out of town for couple days. My grandchildren, Lala, Eli and Roxanne were outside playing with the dog getting ready to go get pizza. Shyana went into the house real quick because she forgot her wallet on the table. Next thing she remembers is the kids screaming & seeing her baby boy, Elias' head inside the dogs mouth, blood everywhere & my granddaughter, Lala hitting the dog and yelling at him to let go of her brother. My Lala had her eye scratched, ripping her eyelid, trying to save her brother. My daughter stuck her hands in the dogs mouth prying it open to release Eli and had to hand him to Bryanna because the dog immediately went and bit her step daughter in the face.
- My grandbabies all had to be transferred to the children's hospital over an hour away. Lala had to have surgery on her eye. My grandson was in the children's hospital for over a week because his skull was crushed & brain has infection. His ear was punctured and almost ripped from his head. My step granddaughter has a broken jaw and huge holes in her cheek. Shyana has 3 fingers with nerve damage.
It is so unbelievable and unexplainable why this happened. This dog would go on family outings with us all the time and didn't even knock them down before. But this did happen. The hospital bills are ad
We are all in shock and traumatized. It is so surreal. My grandson still needs brain scans and is not out of the woods yet. He knows to carry the medicine container and be careful of the IV(pick line) tube whenever he moves around. He is only 1 and a half, not even 2 years old yet and hopefully the infection doesn't leave any permanent damage to his brain but he will have a scar on his face and head forever. My granddaughters eye doesn't close all the way anymore. She told me she is afraid the other kids will make fun of her at school now. It breaks my heart!
At this point my only thought is wanting/needing to help my daughter any way possible.
You have no idea how this feels. When your kids are growing up you do everything and anything to make sure they are safe. To have something like this happen to your babies at the place that should be the safest, your house.....there is no words!
They have the traumatic memories, the scars and their lives are forever changed. Unfortunately I cannot take that away, nobody can. But with help and support we can ease the financial hardship for Shyana so she can concentrate on putting this tragedy behind her and loving her babies back to health and not stress about paying medical bills or how she is going to make the appts or even feed them.
Honestly. I don't really know what to do. I know I want to help them any way I can. I know there is nothing I could have done to prevent this. I feel helpless....so I am asking for help. Just want to ease their pain any way I can.
