Community comes together to support UW-Madison student who suffered brutal attack

The RCC Sexual Violence Resource Center created a GoFundMe stating the student is still fighting for her life in the hospital. Organizer Dana Pellebon said the goal is to help the survivor and her family focus on healing rather than worrying about bills during her recovery. Pellebon said crime victim insurance could eventually cover some costs, but immediately after a sexual assault or rape, it is hard for the survivor to work while they try to recover from a traumatizing event.
