Join Pierson's Miracle Healing Story

My name is Lauren Haynes, a friend turned family member to the Cozier’s. It has been a privilege to know and love Christopher and Rashi Cozier for decades.

Friday, January 17, 2025, was a day no one could have imagined, Pierson Cozier, a charismatic and captivating 21-month-old baby endured a traumatic dog attack, leaving his face and head severely injured. The story of his miraculous rescue is one of many miracles that have followed. His journey of healing began with an emergency surgery where incredibly talented providers were able to stitch up the many open wounds all over his face. They also placed 10 staples in the more serious injuries in his head. At this time Pierson still awaits at least one follow-up procedure as his recovery continues.

Despite the overwhelming odds against him, and although he’s less than 25lbs himself, his spirit has always been so large and this brave baby is now being deemed a miracle by his doctors. What could have resulted in severe nerve damage, brain damage, or even worse has instead brought forth a story of resilience and hope for so many.

The family is immensely grateful for the prayers and love they’ve already received. This unexpected tragedy is enough in itself. As their village we want the worry of the financial burden of hospital bills and doctor’s visits, as well as unscheduled time off to care for Pierson to be the very least of their worries. Instead, we want their focus to be on continuing to provide Pierson with all of the love and round the clock supervision for his ongoing medication management, doctors visits and wound care to prevent infections and aid in a swift healing process. The family has been so blessed and has expressed their gratitude for all who have approached them. Many who want to know how to help and although they would never ask for help as their village we want to step up. So with their humble permission, we have set this opportunity up for them.

This is where we want to invite you to come in. Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a significant impact in supporting this family during this challenging time. Funds raised will go toward:

• Medical bills and future procedures.

• Resources to provide Pierson with wound care and medication management at home.

• Any unforeseen expenses and adjustments to ensure a safe and supportive environment for Pierson’s recovery.

The journey to healing can feel so isolating so let us rally together to show them that they are not alone. Christopher, Rashi, Mason, and sweet baby Pierson, your courage and strength inspire us all, may this show you that you are not alone! Together, let’s show them that they are surrounded by a village of love and support.

If you cannot give financially, your prayers, thoughts, and words of encouragement are just aa appreciated as we have already seen God’s incredible hand in his healing.

Even in such a trying ordeal, God has been good. A couple of days after having surgery to repair the wounds in his head, Pierson was hugging nurses, talking and walking around, back to his old self. Although there are wounds, and even the possibility of scars, we want to show this family that rainy days don’t last forever, and that while it rains we can lighten their load. Even when it’s raining the sun is still shining. Let’s rally around this ray of sunshine, our little fighter and his family as they navigate the road ahead. Thank you joining as part of their miracle story and their testimony.
