Buddy Owen's Recovery Fund

Donation protected
Buddy Owens, a 71-year-old Vietnam War veteran, is facing multiple surgeries after he was attacked by two dogs on Sunday Dec. 11 while putting up Christmas lights in his yard. Buddy was ultimately able to get away from the dogs, but not before suffering extensive injuries to his left arm, along with other bites and damage to his body. He is facing at least three surgeries, more than a week in the hospital and an unknown amount of time out of work as he recovers and rehabilitates his arm. There has been an outpouring of love and support for Buddy, a good man that is well-known throughout his neighborhood and York County. Buddy and his family want to thank everyone for their prayers as he has a long-road to recovery ahead of him. In response to several requests to help even more, this GoFundMe account has been set up. The money collected will go directly to Buddy and help with the extensive medical bills that came from this horrific attack. Buddy thanks everyone for their prayers and good thoughts. He feels the support and is determined to be home for Christmas - a night when his Christmas lights will shine extra bright.
