Credited from: INDEPENDENT

  • Elisabeth Foley, a 45-year-old woman from Virginia, lost her hand during a shark attack in Florida on June 7.
  • The attack, which occurred while Foley was trying to defend herself, resulted in critical injuries and subsequent amputation.
  • Despite medical recommendations for a myoelectric prosthetic, her insurance denied coverage, citing it was "not medically necessary."
  • Foley has launched a GoFundMe campaign aiming to raise $73,000 to cover the prosthetic costs, and has raised over $59,260 so far.
  • She is also sharing her recovery journey on Instagram to raise awareness and garner support.
