Family need help, greasefire exploded.

Donation protected
They were cooking French fries, and forgot about the oil. When they remembered they moved it off the stove and it blew up. Then Marie(his mom) started to scream for help, and that's when she tried throwing salt on it, and towels to smother it. Riley came running while Marie went for the fire extinguisher.. she couldnt get it unlocked.. and when she turned around, he was grabbing the pot of oil to take it outside and try to protect his mom and the house. It spilled on him, it blew up again, he dropped it on the stairs and it rolled down the stairs.. and it blew up again.. it looked like a bomb blew up... and a flame shot over Riley. He was trying to take it outside. Marie called 911. The fire blew back like a backdraft with all the grease going down the stairs.. Marie pulled him outside.. she was on phone with the ambulance that her son was burnt.. Riley ran to the ambulance.. he was rushed to the childrens hospital.. he was in shock saying he was okay. He had skin falling off of his hands.. Police coordinated with ambulance and had roads cleared the whole way to the hospital.. Marie would like to thank all of the first responders for helping her son.. he has 3rd degree burns to 30% of his body, including his hands, feet and face. He will be in the hospital for at least a month, with a minimum of two surgeries. The family has a Gofund me page right now, hoping for assistance with any food, parking, gas to and from the hospital, and items that were burnt and lost in the fire, such as shoes, coats, etc.
