Leonard Butler's Road to Recovery

Donation protected
On December 9th my husband's oil drilling rig caught on fire. They experienced what they call a "blow out", meaning the the equipment they had in the hole they were working in faulted, sparked, and the oil and gas caught fire. Due to the large amount of oil and gas on the rig floor, the fire spread extremely fast, and my husband was one of the men caught in the blaze. He was badly burned on his head, face, ears, hands, and fingers while trying to snuff the fire coming out of the hole, helping get his crew out, and battling his way through to safety. He's currently being treated on the ICU Burn Unit at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, Colorado. Once we leave here we're going to have a long road to recovery before he is able to get back to work. Unfortunately, he is the main breadwinner for our family of seven, and his workman's comp is only going to pay less than half of his monthly bring-home pay. With a mortgage, car payments, housing bills, and food costs, we will not be able to survive off of that. As much as we hate asking for financial help, especially around the holidays, we have no choice. Any little amount helps exponentially. Thank you very much for your time.
