On Saturday October 8, 2016 my cousin, Erin Neubacher Scalise and her husband Chris Scalise were going out for a routine shopping trip with two of their kids, Alex (3) and Gigi(2).  Chris and his son, Alex ,were walking around the car when the neigbor's full-bred, male Pit Bull's (2) broke out of their front door and attacked Alex.  The father (Chris) dove on top of him to protect his head, neck, shoulders and arms.  The dogs were ripping apart his legs.  They had grabbed hold of the meat(muscle) on his right leg when dog owner came outside and got her animals off Alex.  Luckily this was before before his muscle and tendons were ripped completely away from the bone.  Alex has been in Beaumont since Saturday afternoon.  He has had surgery on both legs wiyj two major lascerations on his left leg.  They were able to stitch them up.  The right leg had to have the muscle cleaned and dead tissue cleaned out and the muscle put back in place.  The amazing staff at Beaumont feels confident he will walk, run and jump again.  But-- not with out several more surgeries and skin grafts.  Alex has a long road ahead of him.  He is blessed with two AMAZING parents and two supportive siblings. 

Family and friends have been sending very welcome prayers and support.  Please help me give them one thing to not have to worry about- bills.  Erin will not be able to work for the next 2 months.  She is self-employed.  This is a huge financial burden we can all help ease.  If you have a few extra $$  please donate.  If you don't, we are always welcoming prayers for Alex's recovery.
I wil update this page with successfull surgeries and pictures! 

God bless and thank you !
