Please donate to help John with his burn injuries

Donation protected
On July 2nd John and his brother Justin were fixing up a pickup when a terrible thing happened. John was under the hood pouring gas into the carburetor when it backfired and caught him off guard causing him to spill gas all over himself. He was started on fire instantly and could not get his shirt off or the fire out so he laid on the ground and tried to roll to put it out. His brother Justin jumped out of the pickup and ripped Johns shirt off of him and made sure no other fire was on him. Justin says Johns shirt was maybe only on fire for 7-11 seconds but to John it felt like hours and at one points stated he thought he was really going to die by being burnt alive. Justin rushes John to the ER and nurses and doctors were there to treat him right away. The burns were so bad that he has to be flown to Greeley Colorado to the burn center. Not only did this bad event happen but John had just recently had a new born little boy a few weeks ago and was the only one working. With this terrible accident he is unable to work and it is unknown to when he will be able to get back to work. Any donations will be used to not only help with medical bills but also to help with bills around his house since neither of them are able to work at the moment. Anything will be greatly appreciated and will be used to help a good man and his family. Thank you all that are able to donate to a good cause and for those of you who can’t please continue to pray for John and his beautiful family as he has two little ones that miss and want him back home.
