Help Ariean Fabrizio Colton Recover After Bear Attack
Donation protected
On Tuesday morning, August 26, 2025, Ariean Fabrizio Colton was attacked by a bear outside her home while going for a jog. She is stable, but has suffered severe injuries that will require extensive surgeries and a long hospital stay. The family lives 2.5 hours from the hospital and will need a lot of support as Ariean recovers.
The Colton family just moved to Alaska earlier this summer, and were enjoying their beautiful new home. Ariean is a loving wife, mother of three, and a nurse, known for her adventurous spirit and love of nature. She is extremely kind-hearted, strong, and resilient, and is always willing to help those in need.
The cost of medical bills, surgeries, and ongoing rehabilitation is going to be difficult for the family to manage. Ariean's family is doing everything they can to help, but we are reaching out to our community to help offer additional support. If you cannot donate financially, please share this page to reach a broader audience.
We will try to post regular updates on Ariean's progress. Please keep Ariean, her husband Tyler, and their three children in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to work toward a full recovery. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
