My name is Mary...I never thought I would be doing this for my self & my family..We were all involved in the UPS plane crash that took place on 11/4 @5:05 pm..my 3 children & I was in our vehicle sitting directly across from the stacks of Kentucky oil co ..my husband works for Embryos Auto Parts & has for the past 17 years .we were waiting for him to get off work ,one minute the 4 of us is laughing & the next minute we see a plane heading straight for us full of black smoke & flames..I grab my children throw em to the floor board & shield them for what felt like a century,as I felt the heat from the explosion coming through the windows of the van we were in & the burning of some of my hair I scream to my kids we gotta run...we all jump out of our van that was full of flames & run for our life's..as all of this was happening I wasn't thinking of my purse ,my granddaughters purse,or my phone that was all gone now,along with 1000 cash that was to pay rent when we got home..& now my husband is out of work until his company can reopen..our family needs help paying our rent ...we spent 8 hours in the hospital that day & I have a busted eardrum that is beyond repair & my other eardrum is ruptured..along with a concussion from getting hit by an exploding telephone pole..along with several cuts & bruises..my 12 yr old granddaughter also sustained injury to her whole right side of body as she was standing outside our van & got hit by wires..our van is badly burned as well ..our family needs help & even if u can't donate plz share our story...thank u The Ballengers
