A woman, originally from Cobb County, is currently recovering in Augusta following a brutal acid attack at Savannah's Forsyth Park.

Despite the severe injuries, friends are working to maintain her spirits during her challenging recovery.

Her clothing disintegrated, causing extensive burns to her skin. This devastating incident has left her facing potentially millions of dollars in medical bills.
