Charlie Sheen: Actor Pays For Injured Teen’s Therapy Dog

MILWAUKEE — There’s a 15-year-old Florida girl who didn’t really know much about Charlie Sheen before this week — but does now.

The actor wired $10,000 to Teagan Marti and her family on Thursday for a therapy dog to help in her rehabilitation from injuries sustained when she plummeted 100 feet from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010.

“I think he’s a very kind person for helping me and my family and very generous,” Teagan Marti said by phone Thursday from her home in Parkland, Fla.

Teagan Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries in July 2010 when nets and air bags that were supposed to catch riders on a free-fall ride were not raised. She had convinced her family to make the trip from Florida to Extreme World in Wisconsin Dells after seeing the amusement park’s Terminal Velocity ride on the Travel Channel.

As crazy as he may come across, he is a very generous and caring person at heart. This isn't the first time he helped those in need, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I just hope he gets a bit more help for himself.

I like Charlie, he has his faults but he is a humanitarian and does much for others.

The only one he's not kind to his himself. It's not my business what he does with his own money.

Dean Martin made a living making fun of his own boozing and women chasing ways.
