TALK ABOUT TOUGH! Justin, an 11-year-old from Grovetown, Georgia, was attacked by three dogs during an evening bike ride. According to the sheriff’s office, Justin was chased, bitten, and dragged into a ditch. Along with other injuries, he lost 80% of his scalp and his right ear! Justin’s family started a Go Fund Me in hopes to put a dent in the overwhelming medical bills, setting their goal at $4,000. With the support of Euchee Creek Elementary and a huge support system across the community, the family was able to raise over $160,000, wearing green to support #justintough. Card My Yard Augusta owner Julie Blackenbeckler was able to donate a sign at Euchee Creek Elementary where students and staff took pictures, sending messages of HOPE and SUPPORT to Justin and his mom at the hospital.
