Refugee child mauled by dogs

Donation protected


A refugee family lived through multiple bomb attacks, fled Syria to a camp in Jordan, and recently resettled in NC. The father and the oldest son were injured in the bombings.

They have 5 children ranging from 18 months-11 years old.
This morning, the baby was mauled by a neighbor's dogs. He is currently in surgery for facial wounds at a nearby city's children's hospital and listed as stable but critical condition with serious damage to his ear, face, arm, and leg. Police had to shoot one dog to get it off the baby.

This family has been through so many horrors and their needs just exponentially escalated. There will be more surgery, doctors visits, transportation to appointments, medical bills, etc...

Aside from the fee charged by GoFundMe, 100% of donations will go to them.
My name is Laura Tastad, I'm in Greensboro, NC, and I've started this campaign to help a specific family who has experienced unbelievable tragedies. I am helping sponsor this family. The beneficiary is the family but since they do not speak English or have a bank account, Michael Usey (a pastor at the church who sponsors this refugee family) is the recipient and will withdraw funds to give directly to them as he is in personal contact and is currently at the hospital with them.
