Can You Help Grace?

Can you help Grace's mom dig out of sky-high vet bills? We're up to $2000 so far. Credit cards straining.
Recently, my very sweet pacifist rescue dog, Grace, was attacked by a large male dog – a pit, although I’m not usually anti-pit! Grace was badly injured, but survived thank God. I, mistakenly, tried to break up the attack and rescue her. Bad idea: it didn’t help to end the attack and thus I was injured too, lacerations to my hands and some nasty-looking bruises to arms and legs. Grace, of course, suffered the worst of the battle: puncture wounds to several parts of her body, even to her sweet soft floppy ears! The most serious injuries are to her left front leg – I worried that her leg was broken or so badly damaged that she would lose it. Fortunately, no fractures and so far it’s healing well. She has stitches and staples to many of her injuries. Most seem to be healing without infection. The dog who attacked Grace has been impounded and, so far, he does not have symptoms of rabies or other illness. If he stays healthy, I may be able to avoid having a series of rabies shots. Grace has been a little canine saint through this whole awful ordeal: she limps along in her protective ‘boot’ when I take her for a walk, she takes her 3 different meds without hassle, and best of all she seems like her same sweet self as mellow as before. Maybe a little more clingy with me! Doesn’t seem to be afraid of other dogs in neighborhood.
I'm pretty overwhelmed with expected credit card bills for both vet and my urgent care costs, so I would be REALLY thankful for any help you can provide!
