Help 10 year old Andre Howard Recover After Plane Crash

I am sponsoring this Go Fund Me page for my friend and her husband Brad.  Brad was in a terrible accident on January 28th while working for a friend’s company.  He was trimming a tree on a metal roof when his pole came in contact with a live wire and 15,000 volts shot through his body.  He sustained burns over 15% of his body  from the neck down and was airlifted to BAMC’s burn center.  On Feb 1st, Brad had surgery to amputate 5 toes and begin treatment on his burns.  He will still need to undergo skin grafting on the more serious burns.  The family does not have medical insurance and could really use help as they look at a very long recovery and therapy.  Whitney and Brad  have 2 beautiful daughters and are becoming overwhelmed with the mounting medical bills and just providing daily necessities.  If you can find it in your heart to help this beautiful family, I can guarantee they will be forever grateful.
