Support Poppy's Healing Journey

Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for visiting this page. I'm Poppy's aunt, and biggest fan.
A few months ago, Poppy suffered a traumatic dog attack that resulted in a life-threatening injury to her head and brain. What occurred immediately after is truly a miracle. Poppy fought for her life, and the incredible doctors and nurses at Cedars Sinai operated on her and nursed her for the following three weeks.
Since mid-September, Poppy has been under excellent care at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and is anticipated to remain inpatient until the Spring. She has undergone a series of neurosurgical and plastic surgery operations. The injury resulted in weakness to the right side of her body and neurologically, Poppy is having to relearn a number of skills so she participates in therapy on a daily basis.
This week marks yet another plastic surgery operation. Following the initial recovery and another surgery in a few months, she will graduate from acute care to the inpatient rehab facility for intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Poppy continues to showcase her determination and will on a daily basis and she is well loved by all her doctors, nurses, and therapists. She has been coined the resident “Pop Star."
We decided to start a fundraising page for Ali (my sister), Jim (my brother-in-law), and Poppy to help ease the thought of the future, which is largely unknown at this point. Poppy likely has another 3-6 months in the hospital and will need to have ongoing therapies and medical support to aid her immediate and long term recovery.
Any contribution to Poppy's future would be humbly appreciated. We also ask that you to continue to pray for Poppy, Ali, and Jim. Your prayers have already worked miracles and we're incredibly grateful for all of the love and support.
On behalf of my family, we wish you all a holiday season filled with gratitude, love, and peace.
