Richelle's Burn Recovery Fund

October 23, 2014 Richelle and a old childhood friend, Bart was in flash chemicial fire while doing repairs on her brother's home. Richelle and Bart ran 70ft of flames to escape the fire. The home did exploded and the firemen said they were extremely lucky to be alive. Bart received 2nd degree burns on his hands helping Richelle from being on fire.  Richelle recieved 2nd degree burns on her left arm and hand and 3rd degree burns on her both her bottom half of her legs. Both received burns to their noses, ears, hair and faces.  Arianna, Richelle's daughter and Roman, her brother had left to go pick up a pizza when the fire started so both was spared. 
Since Richelle has had surgery for skin graphing. Richelle has had a few complications but on a road to recovery currently. This is a day by day recovery. Richelle does have in-home health care assisting her daily and family who is greatly helping with Arianna and Richelle's daily needs.

Richelle's husband Chris left on August 23 and he hasn't return to support her or be by her side. She feels no hate or bitterness over this happening 2 months to the date before this fire.   She will always wish him well . He is no part of her support or recovery.  Divorce proccedings are on hold due to this situation. 

All funds will be used to pay medical bills not being covered . We just found out Richelle's insurance won't cover a lot of this and Roman's home insurance only cover $1000 medical. Funds will always be used to help pay Richelle's bill of no working for 3 months now.  Richelle is self employed so since she hasn't been able to work, she has no incoming coming in. 
Any donatations is greatly appreicated.
