Hello Stargate<\/a> fans,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are asking for your charity for a fellow Stargate fan, Cindy Zellers<\/a>, who has suffered a serious injury through no fault of your own. This event will run through October 31, 2022 and features prizes at five donation levels discussed below.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy was simply attending a get together party at the home of a coworker. The co-workers owned a 4 year-old Pit Bull Shepherd mix dog with a history of aggression. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy was just on her way out of the party, getting ready to leave for home when the owner let the dog out to give it a chance to do its business. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Without warning, the dog sprang and jumped on her face. It was so sudden that the owner was still holding onto the dog’s leash. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Within seconds, the dog was attacking Cindy, who suffered a huge gash along her cheek and nose. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, the dog was surrendered to authorities and euthanized, but the damage was done. Cindy required over 70 stitches on her face. She has also been told that there is a possibility of nerve damage. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All of this has resulted in medical expenses and lost income for this lady. As well, Cindy has been dealing with anxiety, sleepless nights, and a fear of dogs as a result of this terrible incident. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the dog’s family does not have insurance to cover the damages which is why Team WHR<\/a> stepped up to sponsor this charity event to help Ms. Zellers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy’s health insurance and short-term disability insurance covered some of her expenses and lost income. However, approximately $3,000.00 USD of medical expenses and lost wages were not covered. Cindy also is looking at ongoing future medical expenses to address the damage done when the dog attacked her.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy is a long-time Stargate fan, so it seemed appropriate for WormholeRiders to step up and assist with her GoFundMe goal of $3,000.00 USD that will run on GoGundMe until October 31, 2022. To that end, well known actors Alex Zahara<\/a> and Dan Payne<\/a> both helped out by hosting the online event recorded below to assist with raising money to help Cindy out. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks Alex and Dan! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
