Care for Katie

Hi everyone. I’m Jayne Redfern (nee Deere) Simon Deere’s Sister and Auntie to Katie Deere.

As many of you saw on August 17th at 11am Katie was out walking with her Daughter and own Dog when she was attacked by an unsupervised large breed dog. She sustained life changing injuries trying to protect her Young Daughter and Dog resulting in a 5 hour operation on both arms. I will spare you the more graphic pictures.

As you can imagine this was horrific for her and has changed Katie’s immediate future.

Why am I raising funds?

It has transpired that Katie and her Daughter Harper are not entitled to any sort of compensation or Government help as the dog was uninsured and owned by a minor. Obviously all this has added pressure to Katie and her family who are doing everything and more to support her and her Daughter as she is a single Mum. Katie was also due to start a new job in September but this is now in doubt. If you would like to help this amazing young Mum get back on her feet and help towards Hospital visits that are currently twice a week .. all incurring more costs to Katie and her Family please drop a small donation if you are able (any amount) would relieve the stress and worry they are all going through and it’s by no means over.

Katie will be scarred for life and faces further treatment. They are a local family and are lucky enough to live in a fantastic community. Hopefully we can all rally round and get the help she deserves.

Thank you
