Dana & Kim Benedict House Fire

Donation protected
Hi my name is Chris, I am setting up this go fund me page on behalf of Dana and Kim Benedict my aunt and cousin. On December 18, 2024. Kim and Dana's residence in Searchmont exploded and burned to the ground due to a Propane leak. Dana was severely injured during the explosion as he was lighting the pilot light on the furnace. Dana received numerous severe burns and was airlifted to Toronto to the ICU Burn unit. They have lost everything. The house, clothes and all their belongings right before the holidays. I'm asking our great community to come together and help these amazing two individuals. They have given so much to the community of searchmont and surrounding area. Anything helps! Thank you for your consideration.
UPDATE on Dana. The doctors woke him up. He was able to follow directions with his eyes, but due to his severe pain they sedated him again. The house was cleaned up today and unfortunately NOTHING was able to be recovered. We truly appreciate everything you all have done. No idea how proud our family is of absolutely everything, and especially this time of year.
You're all incredible!
