Police Officer and Wife Infected with Flesh-Eating Bacteria - How You Can Help

MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee police officer and wife need the public's help after a nightmare scenario in which the couple were both infected with a rare flesh-eating bacteria.

According to a report from ABC 13, Carmen Greene was scheduled for a routine procedure to remove a cyst. They say 24 hours later, she developed a bacterial disease - a flesh-eating bacteria - that also infected Jeremy, a Milwaukee police officer.

Now they face numerous surgeries and at least a month of hospitalization time to battle the bacterial infection.

While a few thousand dollars have already been collected, friends are hoping more support will pour in. If you would like to help the Greene family, visit a Gofundme page for the family, according to a WTMJ report.

"We would like to be able to help them out financially to get through this difficult time. The money will help offset the additional cost of childcare during Carmen's hospital stay as well as provide them with a small income for additional medical expenses," according to the family's Gofundme page.
