Philadelphia infant mauled by raccoon to get new home after outpouring of donations, family says

A four-month-old infant who was viciously mauled and dragged by a raccoon last week in a Philadelphia apartment will get a new “safe and secure” home to live in after she leaves the hospital — thanks to an outpouring of donations, the baby’s uncle said.

Journi Black was sleeping in her bed last Wednesday when a raccoon managed to get into the home, drag the infant out of bed and attack her. Journi’s uncle, Kenneth McDuffie, told Philly.com on Christmas Eve that the overwhelming amount of donations to the infant’s GoFundMe page during Christmastime ensured the family could get a safe and secure home to prevent another incident.

“It will be safe. It will be secure. It will be wildlife- and rodent-free, a place where they are comfortable and they are safe,” McDuffie told Philly.com. “We can’t always predict what is going to happen in the future, but we want to make sure that [Rodgers] and her family are safe.”

I couldn't imagine being that age, and having now idea what's happening to you. It's good to hear the family will be getting a new home for Christmas.

Raccoons are notorious for finding holes to lodge in attics, walls and ceilings of apartment buildings.

They also are carriers of rabies.

That is why it is important to inoculate one's pets against the disease.
