SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – As of Friday afternoon, $262,690 has been raised in support of the victim in a brutal acid attack in Forsyth Park.
Ashley Wasielewski was on her daily walk when a stranger threw acid on the right side of her body before running away, according to the Savannah Police Department.
