The knife attack occurred last month during a dance party with a Taylor Swift theme, and Leanne Lucas is thought to have been one of the event organizers.
A note on a GoFundMe website states that Ms. Lucas, who was stabbed, was released from the hospital last week, but she has since been readmitted and is waiting for surgery to drain her lung.
“Leanne was just getting started on her journey to recovery. On behalf of her friends and family, the post read, “Please keep her in your thoughts and continue supporting her as you have been by sharing the page and donating whatever you can.”
It is believed that Ms. Lucas made an effort to keep the kids who attended the Swift-themed session on July 29 safe.
Her cousin Chris Rimmer called her a “hero” and said the days following the incident had been “devastating” and “ripped us all apart”.
Mr. Rimmer had previously told the News, “She doesn’t speak to anyone about it, and I don’t think she can process it.”.
