On March 29th, my sister-in-law Alicia was found horribly mauled by a dog. We were told The homeowners discovered her unconscious and bloody, with the dog still present. They immediately called 911, and Alicia was rushed to St. John’s in Tulsa for emergency care. The trauma and injuries she suffered have left our entire family in shock, and Alicia now faces a long and difficult road to recovery. When Alicia was able to wake up briefly they were able to remove her breathing tube so she can breathe on her own. When she was able to whisper that she had heard a deep growl as she was walking up to the gate something pounced on her. It was dog like, but she did not specify it was a dog. After that, she recalls only hearing yelling and a gunshot possibly. After the news of the story went on Fox News my brother found out that the investigation was started that they had taken parts of her clothing to do DNA testing because some of her wounds were not consistent of a dog bite. We are still waiting results.

Alicia’s husband, Wallace, is currently on dialysis and waiting on the kidney donor list. Alicia was the one working and providing for their two beautiful daughters, Zoey and Summer. Now, with Alicia unable to work, their family is struggling to keep up with daily expenses. Their only vehicle was towed after the incident and is accumulating fees every day, making it even harder for Wallace to get to his dialysis appointments, which are almost two hours away. After the news aired on Fox, the vehicle was returned with no charges to the family. On top of that, the family is facing mounting costs for food, housing, and travel, all while trying to support Alicia’s recovery. We are currently taking day by day in surgery after surgery and prayers after prayer. We are incredibly amazed and deeply grateful for all the donations and prayers and calls. May God bless everyone of you. Hold your loved ones dearly to you.

Prayers and any help received would be greatly appreciated. Anything you can give will go straight towards Wallace, Alicia, and their daughters, helping them cover urgent needs and giving them a bit of cushion during this incredibly hard time. Thank you for reading and for supporting our family in any way you can.
