"Hearts for Ani - A Fundraiser LANCASTER, PAMedical & Healing
Annika Horn is a beautiful soul and has been a wonderful, faithful friend for the entirety of my adult life. She was assaulted in her own home on Saturday, September 6th , nearly mortally wounded and is currently in intensive care in an undisclosed location. She has undergone several surgeries to repair the terrible damage done to her body, and will require much more specialized medical care in the months and weeks to come.
The initial prognosis said there was no way.
It's four days later and she is with us.
Against all odds, she is expected to live. This alone is a testament to her strength.
Ani is beloved. Her warmth of spirit, her generosity, her open-mindedness and her silly, spur-of-the-moment sense of humor have changed my life, and the lives of everyone she's met. If there is anyone who deserved this less, I've never met them. The coming trials ahead will be daunting, but we are a family, and we will do everything we can to support her.
To that end, we're attempting to raise funds for the care, lost work and potential future physical and mental needs of her and her immediate loved ones.
Anything helps. If you can't donate, maybe you can help some other way - be in touch. Ani's bravery and strength have already won the day - we can refuse to allow this violence and ugliness to define us.
We will not live in fear in Lancaster.
We can allow our community - our love - to triumph."
Great post, Cole. Thanks for posting.
