Engelking Family Fire Emergency

Donation protected
Please help raise money to help my family who survived a devastating fire that destroyed their apartment early in the morning on February 15th. Katie, who was roughly 7 months pregnant, Andrew, and two of their three boys had to jump out of the window from their third story apartment in order to escape the fire. They made it out with only the clothing on their backs.

Andrew is in the hospital receiving surgery on a broken tibia and knee while Katie is being transported from Anchorage, AK to Seattle, WA to a hospital there that would better be able to manage her injuries. Katie is suffering from broken vertabrae in her back and severe burns. In addition, prior to being transported to Seattle, her baby girl went into distress and was delievered via C-section. Baby girl is healthy and currently in the NICU.  All of the boys are safe and physically unharmed.

Katie, Andrew, and their children survived this fire, but lost everything. Lucas - 14 years old, Logan - 10 years old, and Linden - 23 months old, and newborn baby girl, are now without a home, without clothing, without everything. Any and all donations will be very much appreciated as they will be used right away to provide the Engelking Family with the basic necessities they need as they start to heal from this tragedy.
