On Friday, April 21, Willow Galasso was playing with the family dog when the dog became startled and bit her face, according to a GoFundMe campaign.
She was taken to Valley Hospital and then transferred to Hackensack University Medical Center's trauma center because of the severity of her injuries, according to the campaign set up by Diana Reinkraut, a friend of the family.
Willow underwent emergency plastic surgery and suffered deep lacerations to her face. She also suffered severe injuries to her mouth and will be forced to undergo additional surgeries, as well as physical therapy, Reinkraut said.
A meal train will also be created to help the Galasso family, Reinkraut said.
As of Tuesday, April 25, more than $21,000 had been raised on the campaign. Click here to donate.
