Family survives fiery crash...

Donation protected
David  & Heather Watling were headed out camping with their youngest son, Curtis, a developmentally disabled boy, and family dog when strong winds took the trailer and sent it out of control and rolling multiple times into a ditch.  Fellow motorists jumped into action and helped pull the family out of the wreckage, including Heather who was trapped behind the wheel for more than 90 seonds, as the SUV started to catch fire.  Seconds after she was pulled from the vehicle the gas tank erupted and everything was engulfed in flames.  The family dog had been thrown through the sunroof during the roll-over.  Thankfully, due to the efforts of all the Good Samaratins, everyone survived, including their  dog, Shadow with a laceration under her eye.  Still recovering from losing everything on them, and Heather in a wheel chair, they learned that the trailer that they thought they had purchased insurance for was not insured.   Their belongings and vehicle are covered but not the trailer.  They've camped their entire lives in tents and sleeping bags and finally had saved enough to get a trailer as they reached their 50's.  We're hoping to raise enough money to replace their travel trailer.
