Colton's Fight: Overcoming 60 Percent Burn Injury

Donation protected
(Fundraiser by Colton's sister, Danielle, and Colton's fiance, Chloe.)

On Saturday, March 8th, 2025, Colton’s life changed forever. A fire at our house broke out in the carport, and somehow, Colton became engulfed in flames. The details of how this horrific accident transpired remain unclear and are still under investigation, but what we do know is that Colton suffered third-degree burns over 60% of his body. He is now in critical condition, fighting for his life in the hospital.

At this time, we have chosen to keep his location private to allow our family the space to grieve, process, and focus on his recovery. We deeply appreciate your understanding.

Colton is only 31 years old, with so much life left to live. He is an incredible father to his daughter, his fiance's rock, and a deeply loved brother, son, and friend. Both Chloe and I have not left his side since this nightmare began. No family should ever have to witness their loved one in such a heartbreaking condition.

Why We Need Your Help

Colton has a long, uncertain road ahead. His injuries require extensive medical treatment, including multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and rehabilitation. While insurance will cover some of these costs, it will not be enough to provide the comprehensive care he needs.


We are humbly asking for help with:

**Massive upfront medical bills from his current and future surgeries, life-saving treatments, and intensive care.

**Costs for ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Colton will need in the months and years ahead, including physical therapy and long-term recovery support.

**Additional costs that will arise as we continue to support him through this unimaginable journey.


Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference in Colton’s fight for recovery. If you’re unable to donate, we simply ask for your prayers, positive thoughts, and for you to share this with others who may want to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this unimaginable time. Your donations, love, and prayers mean more than words can express.
