Help for Whitnie Sullivan

On July 3, 2018 my sister, Whitnie Sullivan, was viciously attacked with a box cutter on her way to pick up an extra shift at Walgreens in Erie, PA.

Whitnie sustained many cuts and lacerations which include a 4" long slice across the front of her neck that nicked the cartilage around her thyroid and a large cut that starts just below her eye and goes all the way down past her jaw (that cut went all the way down to the bone). She also had to have a tracheotomy done in order to take the pressure off the tissue around her thyroid while it heals. She'll have that in for at least a few more days.

Whitnie is a walking miracle. The surgeon says that the cut across her neck was only 2mm away from killing her. She continues to smile through everything. She is expected to make a full recovery but it will take time.

While we believe her medical bills will be covered, Whitnie will be out of work for a while and her bills are going to add up fast. We don't want her to have to go back to work any sooner than she has to. Every little bit helps! Thank you!!
