Triad community rallies for shark attack victim

HIGH POINT, N.C. (WTVD) -- A community came together Saturday to support 12-year-old shark attack victim Kiersten Yow.

Businesses around the Triad donated food and other supplies for the fundraiser at Fairfield Methodist Church. The meals were then sold to those who wanted to help.

Kiersten lost her left hand in a shark attack off the coast of Oak Island in June.
