On the night of Tuesday, November 4, 2025, our best friend Allana Lipston endured a twenty minute long horrific and unprovoked attack by two neighborhood dogs in her own front yard. She was rushed to the trauma center at Jersey Shore Medical Center and had to undergo emergency surgery to treat severe bite wounds to her arms, legs, hands and head. She sustained nerve damage in her hands and faces a long road of healing ahead, including additional surgery and extensive physical therapy. As a private practice therapist, Allana doesn’t receive any paid leave or sick days. This means if she’s not working, she’s not earning. Right now, she’s unable to return to work as she focuses on recovery.

We’re asking our community to rally around Allana during this incredibly difficult time. Your donation will help cover:

Medical expenses - including future surgeries, ongoing physical therapy, and emotional therapy for PTSD

Transportation assistance

Lost income while she’s unable to work

Basic living costs during her recovery

If you’re able, please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Every act of kindness will help lighten Allana’s load, and remind her that she’s not alone. As a rescue dog owner herself, Allana is a passionate advocate for animals which makes this traumatic experience even more devastating.

Thank you for being part of her healing journey.

Love, Stacy, Stacey, and Leslie
