My name is Jenny, and I am asking for help for my brother-in-law, Joel, who is currently fighting for his life in the burn unit after a devastating incident.
On March 30, 2026, Joel was found severely burned in Victorville and had to be airlifted to the hospital in critical condition. He has suffered third-degree burns over approximately 90% of his body and remains in extremely critical condition.
Our family is completely heartbroken. Joel is a father of three, and his children need him. Watching someone you love go through something this devastating is something you can never be prepared for.
We are leaning on our faith during this time, trusting God, and asking for prayers for Joel’s healing, strength, and recovery.
The road ahead is overwhelming. When Joel is able to recover, he will face multiple surgeries, intensive burn care, risk of infection, and a long, painful rehabilitation process that could take months or even years. Burn recovery is one of the most difficult journeys a person can go through, both physically and emotionally.
We are asking for help so that Joel can focus on fighting for his life and, if he recovers, on healing and getting back to his children—without the added burden of financial stress.
Funds raised will go toward:
• Physical therapy
• Specialized burn treatment and wound care supplies once discharged from hospital
• long-term rehabilitation assistance
• Medications and follow-up care
• Basic living expenses during recovery
Joel is deeply loved. He is not just a patient—he is a father, a brother, and someone who matters deeply to all of us.
No donation is too small. Every dollar helps support Joel in this fight for his life.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this and keeping Joel in your prayers.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, support, and love during this incredibly difficult time.
