Sarah's Fundraiser
Donation protected
My name Daniel and i have created this fundraiser for my partner Sarah.
Below is the story of what happened to Sarah.
My dog and I were attacked and bitten by another dog on Thursday evening the 7th of September 2023 at around 5.35pm behind the Rsl building in Mittagong.
I literally walk every day my dog along the black fence near the Barbecue area.
We were literally just walking past this car and I looked down to the barbecue area and saw a woman sitting there and her dog flew over the barbecue and ran towards us. He attacked my dog from literally every side and I screamed and tried to get him off my dog. I tried to push him off my dog but he got more aggressive. I tried to lift up my dog and he started biting my dog from underneath and my dog was just crying because of the pain he went through. I yelled at the woman to get her dog off me and I started picking up my dog to help him and the dog just did not want to let go. The woman finally got him off us and walked away. I was shaking because I was so petrified that more damage happen to my dog...I literally dragged myself to a nearby tree and watched my dog who was shaking too. In that moment I felt a huge pain in my leg but I did not give much notice because I was worried that this dog would attack us again. In that moment another lady came from the street and asked if I'm alright and I just explained a bit and then I noticed that my hands were full with blood. I noticed that my leg was bleeding underneath my tights, blood came trough and I finally noticed that I got bitten. I called my partner and the ambulance and the lady from the road helped me to press on my wound her jacket to stop the bleeding. The woman with her dog dragged her dog on the collar away from us while the ambulance said on the phone police is contacted too. I noticed that while the ambulance arrived the woman was on her phone and walked away with her dog than. My partner Daniel went after them to get a phone number because we got both attacked and it was pretty bad. Apparently there was a man next to the woman too and he threatened my partner with the dog too. At the end she gave my partner a phone number but we aren't sure if this is a right one.
I have had emergency surgery yesterday and I just got out of the hospital today and I'm on crutches and wheel chair for atleast the next 12 days.
Sarah also has a blood clot now after the attack.
Sarah being from Germany and living and working in Australia for 6 years is still unable to access medicare. You wont meet a more friendly, warm, hard working, passionate, kind hearted and loving woman.
The hospital bills are already in the thousands, vet bills, the trauma she has to now live with, potential legal advice she is unable to work until her surgeon advises her she can. Sarah requires me to care for her at home who also has to be off work, where i could be making an income and saving lives as I work for NSW Ambulance. We are both in a horrible situation.
Anything you can help us with such as $10 to $1 will support Sarah with these expences she has now been given.
I feel angry and disgusted that this happened and am doing all in my power to find these people and the dog so i can report to the appropriate authorities and will do all in my power to ensure Sarah is compensated for every cent. She will not be paying a cent for this nor should she have to. If this was my daughter, another child or elderly person what chance would they have had.
Thankyou for anything you can help us with.
Huge thankyou,
Dan and Sarah
