Explosion Survivor

Hello my name is Parris Young.

I wanted to reach out and let you know that I’m fundraising to bring awareness to my current situation/dilemma. Most of you know me personally and others through my business

@TreatsbyParris904 . As you probably already know, this cause is very important to me due to the fact I am father of 4 and being unable to work/provide for my kids and myself is a very heavy mental load to carry. When I should be focusing on my healing and recovery. I was in a horrific fireworks explosion accident on the July 4, 2024. I was merely being a dad enjoying doing fireworks displays for my kids & family when a faulty firework exploding in my hand at no fault of my own upon

lighting the wick. As a result of this accident, I have had multiple fingertips on my left hand amputated, broken thumb and fractured fingers on right hand As well as severe burns and cuts to both my hands and body. I am also struggling with a slight hearing impairment. Which has left me unable to work. Everyone that knows me, know that I love my kids and work hard to provide for them as well as myself. However, this tragedy has left me unable to do so as I have a long road to recovery before I can resume the use of my hands. As a result of my not being able to work. I have depleted my savings for medical bills which are still ongoing. I took care of fatherly duties financially as well as the things I will need to aide in my recovery. Being able to use this Gofund platform means so much to me. It will allow me to tell and share my story and my need. It is also providing me with the confidence to be vulnerable and seek help from people that I know, love and care about. In closing I would like to also STATE DON’T SHOOT FIREWORKS!!! A donation of any amount would truly help me reach my goal. To allow me to focus on my long road of healing and recovery without the stress of how and when I will be able to provide for my kids. As well as pay medical

bills as result of the accident. If you could share my fundraiser link with your friends,Family & community it would

mean so much. The more people hear about my cause, the quicker I can reach my fundraising goal.
