14 year old with 3rd degree burns
please make sure to check out our updates ❤
on December 8th my little sister and mother were trying to stay warm in the harsh winter weather in the garage with a propane heated.. the house has electronic heaters but they drive the bill to an unbelievably high number that my mother just cant afford. my sister turned her back to the heater standing too close and her flannel shirt had erupted into flames causing her to panic and try to run from the flames.. by the time someone was able to get ahold of her and knock her to the ground and roll the fire away she had suffered from 3rd degree burns from her lower back up to the back of her head and on the entire backside of her right arm. while my mother panicked and tried rushing her the the hospital my sister screamed in excruciating pain the propane was still melting her skin.. her shirt bra and hair had melted into her. she was moved from River bend hospital in Eugene to the children's hospital in Portland. she is currently heavily medicatedand and will be going into surgery for skin graphs.. doctors are telling my mother that her age should make this a lot easier. and everything should run smoothly with a minimum of ten day stay at the hospital.. as far as we know a huge chuck of the hospital bills will be taken care buy the hospital its self but that's not why I am creating the GoFundMe.. My mother has done everything she can as a single mother to take care of us growing up and has always found a way to take care of us but I fear with me living out of state and not being able to help her in the ways I wish I could she has been working long nights to try and pay all the bills by herself but I fear she is finally in over her head.. she is late on rent this month and cannot find the money and with this all going down with my sister she either has to stay by my sisters side up in Portland and not work and possibly lose her house, or leave my sisters side and keep working to try and get the money.. all I am hoping for is to help her be able to able to stay with her and not have to stress about money just the once.. she deserves it. I am doing everything I can to help with money but I just can't do it alone.
Any and every dollar is greatly appreciated Thank you.
