Help for the Venegas family

Hello, I am starting this page on behalf of the Venegas family, who I know through my husband's work. I met the Venegas, David, his wife Gaby and their 3 children 2 1/2 years ago at a company camping trip. Gaby and David are loving, hardworking and devoted parents.
On December 17, tragedy struck when David and his youngest, 4 year old Jacqueline, were involved in a fire and suffered severe, 3rd degree burns. Jacqueline, who has previously been diagnosed with autism, suffered the brunt of it with burns over 67 percent of her body, mostly to her face and torso.
As you can imagine, the family is devastated. David has been hospitalized for almost 3 weeks and has not been able to work. Gaby, a stay-at-home mom, has been at Jacqueline's bedside this whole time, trusting the care of her 2 older boys to David's family.
Thankfully, their insurance has been able to cover their bills so far but that won't be for long. They will both continue to need surgeries and long term care. Jacqueline specially, whose recovery might be affected by her autism, will continue to need help and therapy for years to come.
Money can't fix what this family has gone through and will continue to go through, but it will go a long way in giving them peace of mind to know that their bills are taken care of and they can focus on getting healthy, physically and emotionally.
If you have the means, please consider contributing to help this family, and give as much as you can. And even if you can't give, please pray for them as much as you can.
Thank you and God bless.
