Farwell Family Fund

On October 14th at midnight an electrical fire started that would forever change the life of the Farwell family. It started with a crackling noise as faulty wiring ignited and moments later consumed the entire home in flames. Joseph and Julie Farwell were in the room where the fire started.

They tried to escape together but Julie fell, rendered unconscious by the smoke. Joseph did everything he could to help her but was pulled away from the scene by fire fighters who risked their lives plunging in after her. Joseph watched as his wife was engulfed in flames before finally being rescued. When they finally rescued her she was unresponsive.

Julie was given CPR at the scene and was transported by life flight to a hospital in San Antonio better equipped to handle her injuries. She is in critical condition.

They have lost everything, their home, belongings and pets. Additionally the medical expenses for a burn patient in critical condition are extremely high. Anything you can give to help this family would be appreciated.
