Spaghetti dinner benefit Saturday in Winamac to help toddler recovering from dog mauling

It's been a rough summer for the family of Emry Sands. The three-year-old girl was mauled by a dog on June 2. Severely injured and disfigured, Emry has already undergone two different surgeries at Riley Children's hospital.

 

Wanting to help, family friend, Colleen Ksiazek, the founder of 'Tommy G Memorial Foundation,' is hosting a spaghetti supper for the Sand's family on Saturday, from 1p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Faternal Order of Eagles, 602 W 11th St, in Winamac. 

 

 

Ksiazek started the 'Tommy G Memorial Foundation' 13 years ago, after losing her son,Tommy, to spinal meningitis. Knowing all too well the expenses it takes to care for a sick child outside of the mounting medical bills, Ksiazek says Saturday's event will go 100% towards the Sand's family.
