From the Family/Friend of Jenette Ryan:
"Last Thursday night, in Powderly our childhood friend, Jenette Ryan, was attacked by a pack of dogs. For the last week, Jenette has been fighting for life at the hospital in Nashville. She has too many wounds to list them all; she has had a stroke, is missing an ear and parts of her scalp, her throat has had to have metal plates put in due to fractures and missing structures. Tonight they attempted to amputate one of her damaged arms but she was too unstable for the surgery. Her dear sweet mother, Inette Ryan, has barely left her side the whole time. We are taking any donations that anyone would like to give for her family to help with the expense of traveling from Powderly to Nashville, so they can concentrate on helping Jenette heal with one less thing to stress about. We are not using Go Fund Me or any other crowdfunding site because they charge fees and we want Inette to have access to any donations right away. If you feel lead to give, message me [Rebecca Rempala Legrand], Pam or Becky and we will make sure every cent gets into the Ryan family’s hands. And most importantly, please add Jenette, her children, mother, brother and sister in law in your prayers."
