Help Robert’s road to recovery

Hi, my name is Catherine Lewin. I’m a special education teacher in North Lauderdale. One of my former students, Robert, was in a terrible accident on Wednesday. He was attacked by two dogs and airlifted to the hospital. He is currently sedated and has a long road to recovery. He is truly the sweetest boy and has the most incredible family. I have remained close with the family and got to see his incredible smile every day as he graduated from Kindergarten and first grade at my school. He had just started his 2nd week of 2nd grade when this terrible tragedy occurred.

It is too early to tell how long his journey to recovery will be, but having his family by his side is incredibly important and vital to his recovery. Please, if you can, donate to help with any financial burdens this family may face with lost wages, medical expenses, bills, etc., as they spend their time in the hospital helping Robert get better.

Update 8/23 5:11 pm: His tubes are out and he’s breathing on his own. He is just very sleepy. Thank you for everyone’s prayers.

Update 8/23 2:00 pm: They turned off the sedation and now they waiting for him to wake up to take the tubes out of his mouth.

Update 8/24 3:00 pm: I FaceTimed Robert and it was awesome! He is still a little out of it but also eager to move his arms and get out of his bed. We were cracking jokes and singing Lion King. Send healing prayers and vibes his way. Poor boy just wants to be a 7 year old but he has to stay calm and heal. ❤️❤️❤️
