Stacy and her son Aaron are facing an unimaginable challenge after Aaron was bitten by a dog, resulting in severe injuries to his face and arm. The trauma of this event has turned their world upside down, and Stacy is now unable to work as she dedicates all her time and energy to caring for Aaron during his recovery. As a close friend, I have witnessed the strength and resilience they are showing, but I know that the road ahead will be long and difficult.

Aaron’s bravery has touched many, and his story was even featured on Channel 7 news. Despite the trauma he’s endured, Aaron’s spirit remains unbroken—he still dreams of having a new puppy to love. He has already undergone one surgery to reconstruct his face, and there are many more surgeries ahead as he continues to heal. Through it all, Aaron’s hope and determination inspire everyone around him.

With Stacy out of work, the financial strain is quickly mounting. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping Stacy cover essential expenses like bills, food, and the mortgage, as well as ongoing medical costs. This support will allow her to focus on what matters most—being there for Aaron as he heals, both physically and emotionally. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease their burden and provide some much-needed stability during this uncertain time.

Any support is welcomed as we pray for Aaron's fast recovery. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference for Stacy and Aaron, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can offer. Thank you for standing with them in their time of need.
