Funeral expenses for our hero, Dustin

Donation protected
My cousin Dustin Boggess was involved in an early morning house fire on April 12th @ approx 1:30am. Dustin was 1 of 8 people in the home when the fire broke out which included 2 children (ages 10 and 2).

The house is a total loss; everyone has lost everything they owned.

Dustin is currently fighting for his life at U of M in Ann Arbor. He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 80% of his body. The hospital's main concern is his blood pressure and keeping out infection.  He has a breathing tube and are unsure if he will need a trach in the near future, but for now he just has the ventilator.

He now has a feeding tube which is giving him the nutrition he needs. They continue to give him lots of fluid to help his body.

They are taking him in for debris surgery and a possible skin graft around 4:15pm today. This will give them a better idea of the trauma his body has suffered due to the burns.

Dustin is married and has 3 girls. He also comes from a very large extended family. This has affected us all. He has such a good heart.

The funds raised would go to his medical costs and any rehab costs once he is released. He will have years of therapy and surgeries in order to live a somewhat normal life. 

However, if things take a turn for the worse, the funds would be used for end of life care and to care for his family.

Right now, it is a waiting game to see how his body handles/reacts to the trauma he experienced.

If you pray, please pray. He has such a good heart.
