Susan & Ethan boating accident fund

Donation protected
Bill, Susan, Taylor and Ethan were going out on their boat in Anchor Bay since it was nice out yesterday. Bill had just bought the boat and they were all really excited to take it out. They were running out of gas so Bill went to the marine station and got gas. They left the gas station and were only about 2 minutes away. Susan, Taylor and Ethan were in the back of the boat and Bill was steering. Next thing they knew they heard a big bang or a popping noise and they were knocked down. The boat blew up and burst into flames. They all jumped into the water and another boat rescued them (bless their hearts for that.) Ethan was standing right on top of where it exploded and he's hurt pretty bad. He's going to be at U of M hospital for about 7 to 10 days and he will be out of school for 6 weeks. Susan is at Mt. Clemens General Hospital and is in pain and sedated with burns to her arm and leg , as Bill has said, her leg is worse. Bill is ok and Taylor was not admitted, but she has 1st and 2nd degree burns on her arm and also her neck and  ear  have burns. They all have second degree burns all over them and everyones hair is singed and burned. Susan is not sure how long she will be out of work as she recovers and cares for Ethan and Taylor.  Bill had just cashed his paycheck and his wallet along with all of their phones and shoes burned with the boat. They also will have medical bills as anyone would expect with this awful accident. They are going to be in great need of help during this time and for awhile into the future. They appreciate any and all help that can be given.
From Taylor: "God sure was with us tonight because I did not think I was going to make it out alive. Please pray for my family, but mostly my little brother. Thank you to everyone who was praying for us. It really really means alot to us. I didn't think I was gonna make it out of there alive. Thank you god for being with me and my family tonight."
