Sustains Massive Body Burns During TX Power Outage
Donation protected
On February 15, 2021, around 1:30 pm, my father, Steven Walston, assisted a friend who had no heat or power due to the power outages in Houston, Texas. While trying to help his friend stay warm and light a gas fireplace, there was an explosion and a fire. My Dad's body caught on fire, and due to the fire, he sustained 3rd and 4th-degree burns on over 65-70% of his body, being on both legs and arms front and back, abdomen, chest, back, and his face on his cheek area. He has had to undergo three surgeries over the last three days, with another scheduled for today, Thursday, 2/18, and Friday, 2/19, with several needed skin grafting surgeries. Steven is currently in the Intensive Care Burn Unit, intubated and heavily sedated.
Those of you who know my Dad know that he is a proud, college-educated, self-sufficient hard worker. My Dad worked out daily, running 5 miles a day. He is in the best shape of his life and focusing on living his life, prepared for the day-to-day, not ready for this past Monday's tragic accident. My Dad has a long road to recovery ahead of him, medical bills, rehab, personal bills, etc. I want to solicit help so that he does not have to worry and stress about his medical bills and recovery.
ANY small donation will help and will be enormously appreciated. Prayers are also requested and welcomed.
