Burn Victim Draven's Family Needs Help

On December 1st, 2013, this little 6 year old boy Draven Bontz was severely burned in a gas can explosion.

Draven was immediately airlifted to Mercy Hospital in St Louis. He has 3rd degree burns on most of his left leg. He has 2nd degree burns to his face and left arm. He will be hospitalized for at least 3 weeks and will undergo skin grafts for his leg.

His father, Shane, is a single dad raising two children. He has recently lost his job due to a restaurant going out of business. They are in extreme financial need to get through this tragedy.


They will need money for expenses while Draven is in the hospital and will then need to make regular trips back and forth from Vandalia, MO to St Louis, MO for burn treatment.


Please help him if you can. Our goal is to help his family cope with the costs and remove the financial strain caused by this emergency. Let's help so that there is one less thing to have to worry about and they can put all their time and effort into making sure Draven heals quickly. Thank you all so much!
