August 30, 2018 at 5:11 p.m.


A GoFundMe page was set up by Maureen Lund for Sandy Waithira and her family. As of this morning, $3,817 of the $60,000 goal was given.

Sandy was allegedly attacked Monday by her husband with a hatchet.

The page states Sandy is a single mother to four “beautiful young girls” under the age of 10. She recently separated from her “abusive husband,” Joseph Waithira, to make a better life for herself and her children.

Sandy was able to purchase her own home but before she was able to move in, she was attacked by her estranged husband. Joseph was arrested Monday and faces charges of attempted murder, strangulation and domestic battery. His bond was set at half a million dollars.

The attack resulted in Sandy being airlifted to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne and an ICU stay, with further medical care unknown.

“Sandy and her family are going to have a long road of recovery ahead of them both mentally and physically,” the GoFundMe page states.

The goal of the page is to alleviate some of their financial burden.

The page states, “Sandy is one of the sweetest, kind-hearted and genuine humans on this Earth. For those that know Sandy, most would agree she brings a special light into this world and a positive perspective to every situation.”
