Help Kori Rebuild After a Life-Altering Attack

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to ask for your support for my beautiful cousin Kori, who recently experienced a devastating and traumatic event. She was attacked and mauled by her own dog, which resulted in the loss of her left arm.

Despite this unimaginable hardship, Kori remains strong and determined. We’re raising funds to help with her needs during her recovery.

Kori is a dedicated social worker who has spent her career helping others overcome adversity and build better lives. Now, it’s our turn to help her. Your donation—no matter the amount—will make a huge difference in helping her heal, regain her independence, and continue her incredible work.

I'll just tell you the whole story I was staying in my truck at the time and my dogs are in there as well although when it came to sleeping, I was sleeping outside leaning against my tire and my dogs were sleeping inside my truck. This night I was in my truck, I heard a bunch of gunshots then my dog jumped up, started jumping around getting all crazy, so I decided it was probably the best thing if I got out of my truck. so I went to get out of my truck and I was trying to keep my big dog inside the truck, but he pushed out with me and went under the door as I went on the side of the door, so his feet were on the ground before mine were, and at that time he was hitting the ground, there were more gunshots and more gunshots, he turned around all fast and jumped towards me and latched onto my arm and didn't stop until he completely ripped it off. At one point, I put my other hand on my arm and I don't know if it was to pull it away from him, or I am not sure why I did that, but my hand went through all my flesh and bones and meat, muscle on my arm, it just went all the way through it and at that point, I knew he was ripping my arm off and then I heard some rips and stretching pulls and it was off and he just dropped it on the road in front of me and I think at that point I must have passed out for a second because next thing I know,I heard my friend Aric yelling, are you kidding me what the f is going on, and I looked over and he had my dog like between his legs holding on to his collar, they were both facing me and I jumped up, well I didn't jump up, I tried to get up on my tire but I kept falling because my arm wasn't there and I didn't have anything to pull myself up with, so I finally got up and I yelled to keep him away from me. As soon as I got to my feet I started running and running and then I noticed that there was a bunch of police in front of me and I thought to myself, they will shoot me if I run up to them,so I thought, just lay on the ground, it'll be much faster if you just lay on the ground, and so I just collapsed onto the ground and then they came up to me and tie a turnicut around my arm and were asking me bunch of questions and I just wanted water, something, and they wouldn't give me any water and I just was begging for water, I was just fighting for my life, I need water, that's what I was saying to them and I wasn't getting any. Then I heard in the distance, someone was talking about my arm and putting it on ice and this and that, but I guess they didn't put it on ice cuz it was in my lap when I got to the ER, that's what one of the nurses told me later on.

I woke up couple days later in the hospital, looking at my arm seeing it was gone, brutal. My other arm was in a temporary cast, because I guess they thought it was fractured, My hand is still swollen, I still can't make a fist and my arm I got scars all the way up it, all the way to my bicep. And my leg must have got bit at some point as well cuz I have a big hole in my leg on one side and a smaller hole on the other which must be from the fang.

When I woke up one of the nurses told me that the humane society called wanted to know what I wanted to do with my dogs because I had my male, a female and I still had one puppy left. I told them that the male had to be put down because he just ripped my arm off. He didn't just bite it and then there was complications with infection or something so it had to be amputated he ripped it off all the way so I really have no choice but to put him down and my female I wanted to keep her and they had already adopted the last one of the puppies out. My female was trying so hard to get out to help me I could hear her the whole time, barking and crying and trying to scratch her way out of my truck.

Then someone stole my truck while I was in the hospital.

Maybe that's a blessing of disguise The only thing I did was work on it anyway, trying to get it running right which it never did.

But thank you for taking the time to read my story and supporting my cause if you do. You wouldn't imagine how hard it is to function every day with one arm, just everyday tasks that we take for granted that we just don't realize, can't be done with one hand. There's special tools and special contraptions that are made just for daily living with one hand. I'm hoping to be able to get a lot of those things very soon.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, everything is appreciated, and if you have experience with one arm, some tips and pointers on how to do the most trickiest things, would be helpful as well. Everything is a process, nothing is easy anymore.

Thanks for taking the time to read about what really happened

Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers. ❤️....
