HELP JOEY

Donation protected
I would like to introduce you to an amazing, hard working, brillant 22 year old man. He is truly the man that would give you his shirt off his back, work extra hours to help out a friend or family member in need. His name is Joey Borak. I have had the honor of knowing him since he was born. His mother is my best friend of 39 years. Well now the tables have turned. Joey needs our help. On the 4th of July, he and his beautiful live in girlfriend, Jaide, wanted to have a couple friends and family over. It was a great night of laughter, togetherness, and bonding. Then a horrific accident happened. See, Joey did what i have seen him do many of times, he started a bonfire for his family and friends to gather around and enjoy as they always do. Unfortunately, while trying to start this bonfire the fluid Joey was using caught fire next to him and cause a small explosion which then caught his skin and clothes on fire. Joey is now at Loyola hospital in the ICU burn unit. He has suffered deep burns on his arm and his legs. He is currently in surgery for skin grafting. He needs our help now. Jaide has been driving to and from the hospital every day. She is still working, but her income has now been going to food for the both of them and gas to and from the hospital, which is a 50 minute drive one way. Since Joey is obvioulsy not working, as he is in the hospital, they are in need of help, so this wonderful couple does not lose the things that they have spent their young lives working so hard for. As many of you know, even during tragedy, life still must go on and they are trying their best to keep their head above water. I know it seems like a lot of money im asking for, but it will be put to use towards bills( especially the tremendous hospital bill) and food for them until they can get back on their feet. Even if you can only donate 50 cents, it adds up. If you cannot support financially, if you can keep him in your prayers, that would be amazing. Everything counts and is always appreciated. If you would prefer to send gift cards for gas or groceries, this can also be arranged. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please feel free to share with your loved ones. If any kid deserves this help, its Joey.
