Thanks to Atlanta suburb community fund-raising event, 24-year-old Aimee Copeland now will have some financial help to fight and rehabilitee against rare, flesh-eating disease.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Snellville officials on Monday will present the Copeland family with a check worth $ 16,500. Officials say she will spend the next several weeks learning to move herself with the aid of a wheelchair after having her left leg, right foot and both hands amputated.
Copeland contracted the rare infection after she suffered a deep cut falling from a broken zip-line May 1.
