On September 15, 2025, Michael’s life changed in an instant when a house explosion destroyed his home and left him with severe burns on his face, arms, and hands. As someone who has always loved building computers and repairing electronics, Michael now faces the challenge of recovering from second and third degree burns.

The costs of medical bills, daily living expenses, and finding a safe place to stay are adding up quickly.
