UPDATE: Local family severely injured in boat fire

A Call for Support: The Marchand Family's Journey to Recovery After Devastating Boat Fire

Our dear friends, the Marchand family, have recently experienced a horrific tragedy. Shawn Marchand, his adult daughter Morgan, and her two young children were all severely injured in a devastating boat fire. Each of them sustained major burns, with some affecting up to 40% of their bodies.

While we are incredibly relieved to share that they are all stable and hospitalized, their road to recovery will be exceptionally long and challenging. They face extensive medical treatments, including numerous surgeries and rehabilitation, which will undoubtedly be a immense physical and emotional toll.

Beyond the pain, the financial strain of such a prolonged medical crisis will become a significant burden. That's why we, Nokey Pando and Stacey Daniels, are organizing this GoFundMe. Our goal is to ease their financial stress so they can focus entirely on healing. Every contribution, big or small, will directly support their mounting medical bills, ongoing care, and daily needs as they navigate this difficult period.

The Marchand family means so much to our community. Now, more than ever, they need our help. It truly takes a village to overcome such adversity.

We'll do our best to provide updates on their progress, but above all, we ask for your prayers and positive thoughts for Shawn, Morgan, and the children. Your love and support mean the world to them.
