Ikram ran into the house, where her parents attempted to help her, but the acid burned her parents’ arms and hands as well, the page said.
The acid caused “severe burning” on Ikram’s eyes, chest and arms, according to the post. She was also wearing contact lenses, which were melted to her eyes as a result of the acid.
The GoFundMe page has raised more than $570,000 for Ikram since being launched following the attack. Ikram occasionally posts updates on her surgeries and the road to recovery.
A Jan. 2 update detailed her recovery from her most recent surgery as “extremely gruesome, severely painful and probably the worst one” she has endured.
Still, Ikram said she remains grateful for friends, family, medical professionals and others who have aided her in the recovery journey.
“I am so grateful to have so much support because it’s so important to know that you’re wanted, appreciated and most importantly LOVED in life and especially in my predicament,” Ikram wrote.
