PITBULL ATTACK SURVIVOR NEEDS YOUR HELP, NEUROLOGIST NEEDED
Donation protected
Sammy is his name, he needs help now more than ever because he is currently fighting for his life. Two months ago he was attacked by a pitbull that had no leash while my brother was walking Sammy. The entire attack happened in less than 10 seconds but the damage was devastating. The only reason why Sammy survived the attack was due to my brother's quick actions. My brother wrapped his hands around the pitbull's neck and choked him until he let go of Sammy (No the pitbull wasn't hurt at all). When the pitbull let go Sammy came off his harness and took off running despite his right front leg being broken. My brother ran after Sammy and was just barely able to get to him before a car passed by almost running over Sammy. Sammy was in critical condition but he lived to fight another day.
For the next two months Sammy spent all his time in and out of hospitals. He had a broken leg, had a tube on his stomach, stitches all over his back, and of course had to wear a cone. The first night he got back home he was hardly able to lay down to sleep due to the cone, broken leg, and tube on his side. All of this happened meanwhile the owner of the pitbull faced ZERO CONSEQUENCES for his actions. Due to living where we do, and what we've heard regarding the individual, we felt like we couldn't do anything about it. Like I said, Sammy had pulled through and was on track to being 100 percent .
Thousands upon thousands of dollars later, Sammy was about 90 percent back to "normal"....
That was until this past week
Not even two weeks after Sammy had healed from the pitbull attack.. Sammy started to lose control of his body...he refused to walk and fell going up the stairs. He was tripping over himself and was drinking loads and loads of water. Once again Sammy needed to go back to the hospital.
For the past three days Sammy has been in the hospital receiving all the care the rest of our money could offer him. Although we have tried our best, everything is pointing to neurological issues. We are tapped out of money, neurologist are already insanely expensive...WE LIVE CALIFORNIA... we have no idea just how insane the price tag will be for everything Sammy will need moving forward...if he has a tumor I can only imagine...
Sammy does not deserve to go out like this. Before we had Sammy he already had lived a tough life. He was relegated to living in backyards with no shade in the California heat. He was in and out of animal shelters. Who knows what else he went through before he came to our lives. Sammy has spent the past almost ten years now living with a family that truly loves him. I personally would give ten years of my life to save him. He has two other brothers that wouldn't be the same without him...
I ask, will you please help Sammy out? It would mean the world to us all. Please help us help him live a truly long life. He still has so much to live for. Any donations will be appreciated.
All donations will go to Sammy's treatment.
Update, thank you to anybody who has donated so far, it means a lot, currently we have Sammy back at home, he was unable to see a neurologist due to costs. It was going to be the first time Sammy would be treated by neurologists and the cost was already at being billed at 8,500...with what's going on with Sammy he would require several trips to the neurologist and etc. Once again anything helps. Sammy seems to be doing a bit better from the three days he was hospitalized but definitely needs further help.
