Clarkston mayor asks town to help officer’s family

Clarkston mayor Emanuel Ransom is asking residents to consider donating to help buy a trained dog to help with the family of a city police officer.

Officer Corey Lowe’s daughter, Victoria, was born on Sept. 11, 2001 with Mitochondrial Disease. The girl, who is unable to talk, suffers from multiple seizures daily.

The family is trying to raise $13,000 to buy a trained dog from 4 Paws for Ability, to help alert when seizures are coming and give the girl some measure of independence.

Ransom is asking residents to make donations to help pay for the dog.
