Leanne Lucas has recently been discharged from the hospital after being treated for injuries she sustained while protecting children during a terrifying stabbing incident in Southport. As a yoga teacher, Lucas quickly became known as a hero for her brave actions during the attack on her Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29th.
Authorities commended Lucas for her courageous efforts in trying to shield the children who were being targeted in the attack. Sadly, three young children, Alice da Silva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Bebe King, lost their lives in the stabbings, while eight other children and two adults were also injured.
After spending a week in the hospital with serious injuries to her back, arms, and neck, Lucas was discharged to begin her long road to recovery. However, due to complications and difficulty breathing, she had to be readmitted less than two weeks later for surgery to drain her lung. Fortunately, Lucas has now been released and is recovering with the support of her family and friends.
A close friend of Lucas, Esther Shahroodi, has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help with her recovery, which has already received an overwhelming amount of support with over £36,000 in donations. In a post on a local Southport Facebook group, Shahroodi expressed her gratitude for the kind gestures and messages that have been pouring in for Lucas. She also urged people to continue supporting Lucas by sharing the GoFundMe page and donating if possible.
The suspect responsible for the attack, Axel Rudakubana, who is now 18 years old, has been charged with the murders of the three young girls in the dance class. He is set to stand trial next year for his heinous actions.
