A 15-year-old from Colorado was severely injured when a shark attacked her while she was swimming on a family vacation in Belize this week.
Carlson has since been flown back to the U.S., where she remains in a hospital receiving care, the fundraising page said.
Carlson’s tour group was in Half Moon Caye in the Gulf of Honduras around 50 miles south of Belize City when she was attacked, ABC reported.
“That’s when the unimaginable encounter happened. The odds are 1 in 11.5 million that this could happen,” the fundraising page stated.
“That unimaginable encounter was a shark attack. It was a very aggressive, very traumatic, terror-filled fight for her life.”
