Help a Beautiful Little Girl Heal After a Traumatic Dog Attack

Our sweet Carmen, a bright and beautiful 16-month, little girl full of life, laughter, and love, is now facing an unimaginable challenge. Recently, she was the victim of a sudden dog attack that left her with serious facial injuries. She had to undergo emergency plastic surgery to repair deep wounds to her face.

Thanks to the quick actions of the CHKD medical staff and surgeons, Carmen is on the road to recovery — but the emotional and financial toll is heavy. The medical bills for her emergency care, surgery, and ongoing treatment have already begun to pile up, and she will need continued follow-up visits and specialized care to help her heal both physically and emotionally.

Carmen is such a light in our lives — always smiling, dancing, and bringing joy to everyone around her. She has shown incredible bravery through all of this, but she still has a long road ahead.

We’re asking for your help to ease the financial burden on her family so they can focus on what truly matters: helping her heal and smile again. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Your support, prayers, and kindness mean the world to us.

Thank you for standing with Carmen and helping her through this difficult time.
