On June 10, 2019, our friend and classmate, James Appleton, was in a devastating fire; His house burned down, all his possessions were lost, his dear roommate lost her life, and he has been in critical condition from the fire’s effects in the hospital. The outlook is extremely positive -- according to the hospital staff, it is a miracle that James is recovering at such a rapid rate. We are blessed that he is alive and starting to open his eyes/gain consciousness again.


In every situation he faces, James is truly a fighter and today we ask that you help fight alongside him. We are hoping to raise $25,000 to cover the basic costs of the hospital stay, clothing/necessities replacement, and subsequent psychiatric needs for processing the effects of this event moving forward.


James is one of the kindest, sweetest, most well-meaning people you will ever meet. Please consider donating.
