Help T.J. Recover from a Traumatic Pit Bull Attack

Donation protected
I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to share the story of T.J., a brave 12-year-old boy who recently endured a harrowing experience. T.J. was viciously attacked by a pit bull, resulting in severe injuries to his face. His upper lip was torn apart, necessitating emergency surgery. The physical wounds may heal with time, but the emotional trauma and PTSD from such a terrifying ordeal can linger for years.

As you can imagine, the financial burden on T.J.'s family is immense. The average cost of treating a dog bite can skyrocket to $65,000 or more, and T.J.'s medical bills are mounting rapidly. To make matters worse, his father has had to take time off work to care for T.J., leaving the family without his income during this challenging time.

T.J. is not alone in his family; there are four other young children who depend on their parents for support and care. The family is struggling to make ends meet as they face this unexpected crisis. Compounding their difficulties, the owner of the pit bull is refusing to take responsibility for their dog's actions, and they do not have insurance to cover the damages.

This is where we can make a difference. By coming together as a community, we can ease the financial burden on T.J.'s family and help them focus on his recovery. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards T.J.'s medical expenses, therapy sessions to address his emotional scars, and supporting the family during this difficult period.

Let's rally around T.J. and his family during their time of need. Together, we can put a smile back on T.J.'s face and show him that he is not alone in his journey towards healing. Your generosity and compassion will make a world of difference to this young boy and his family.

Thank you for your support and kindness.
