Support Zach Whittlesey's Burn Recovery
Donation protected
On Friday, 11/8/24, the love of my life, Zach Whittlesey, was life-flighted to Harborview. He was in his truck, getting ready to leave, and dropped his Zippo. Apparently, something flammable had spilled on him (I haven't been able to talk to him) while he was at work, so his leg caught on fire, and he was quickly engulfed in flames. He suffers from 3rd degree burns on 29% of his body. He had to have an escharotomy done on his arm, chest, and back since his circulation was being cut off from the tissue swelling, and he is currently in surgery. He was sedated soon after arriving at the hospital and has been under ever since. Zach will be in the hospital for at least 3 weeks, then he'll have to undergo physical therapy, so he will be out of work for a while. Not to mention, his truck was completely destroyed by the fire, and all of his work tools were in it. I pray he overcomes this, and the last thing I want is him stressing during the recovery process. Anything will help, and anything donated will go directly into his account. He lost his truck, his tools, his phone (I have a replacement, I think), his work clothes, everything he had with him or on him, and he won't be able to work for a long time.
