Hi, this is Lesley Tooley; I'm organizing this GoFundMe for my nephew Bryson. On October 16th Bryson tripped and fell into a bonfire. He burned 12 percent of his body and has severe 3rd-degree burns to his flank, back, buttocks, back of his arm and both hands.

Dubuque hospital had him med flighted to Iowa City to the Burn Unit. Bryson will need skin graph surgery sometime between Wednesday and Friday this week. He might need to have multiple surgeries.

I'm starting this GoFundMe to help the family be able to be by Bryson's side in Iowa City. My brother Robert "Cookie" will have to be off work to help Bryson on his path to recovery. Funds raised will be used for gas, food, lodging, medical bills, and other expenses related to Bryson's hospital stay. As of right now, they think he will be in the hospital for a couple of weeks at least. We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider donating to support his family.
