Help burn victims from accidental grill explosion

Donation protected

Life is so fragile, it can all change in an instant. My daughter, Jessica, her partner, Dorothy  and son ,Jaunye, pictured center, were  involved in a grill explosion on 06/19/2020. After moving to Arizona a couple of months ago, they started to develop some friendships. They were having a gathering poolside and were using an apartment complex grill. The apartment complex had converted a gas grill to charcoal. This was not the first time the grill was used.  As my daughter, Jessica ,opened the grill to flip the burgers, it exploded from the bottom. Anyone in the vicinity was burned , including 2 children . They were all rushed to Valleywise Burn Center. Jaunye,age 3,(Jessica’s partners son) is currently in the ICU, with 2nd degree burns, over 23% of his body ,including his face. Both Jessica, and her partner, Dorothy, have 2nd degree burns,  to their lower body and have been discharged home. Although Jessica and Dorothy have been discharged, they still have to endure painful daily dressing changes and cannot walk without excruciating pain in their legs due to blistering and skin debridement .
We are asking for donations to help cover cost of medical bills and their monthly bills that will continue to pile up as they heal. Any amount is appreciated and no amount is to small. If you cannot donate, we ask that you pass this along and share this with others. Prayers are also appreciatedWe are thankful! Thanks for reading and don’t forget to share!

Peace, Love and Light,
