Lily Koellner Burn Fund

Donation protected
On Friday night (October 14, 2022), our dear friends' daughter, Lily Koellner, was burned badly in a tragic bonfire explosion in Pulaski, Wisconsin. Lily was visiting friends from her rugby team and planned to celebrate homecoming with them that weekend. In an instant, the celebration turned into a horrible nightmare when a young man threw gasoline into the bonfire. The explosion left Lily and 32 other teens with varying degrees of burns. Lily was transported to the UW Health Burn and Wound Center in Madison, Wisconsin, and is being treated for 3rd degree burns on her legs as well as serious burns on her face and hands.

We ask for your generosity in donations to help pay for immediate healthcare costs along with future surgeries and therapies that Lily will require. This senseless act also interferes with Lily's ability to continue school and pursue her training as a firefighter and EMT.

Thank you for your donations and continued prayers for Lily's healing and strength.
