When Shereen Grindley looked at her five-year-old son Mickele Allen that frightful Sunday a month ago, moments after he was savagely bitten by a pack of dogs on his way to the shop, she was not certain he would survive. But after a whirlwind of support from Good Samaritans at home and abroad, the now six-year-old Mickele and his mom are looking forward to a special Christmas feeling blessed and happy.
It will be joy all around when Mickele is released from the Montefiore Children’s Hospital in the Bronx, New York. He is expected to be discharged today or tomorrow, just days before the holidays.
