House Fire for family of 5

Donation protected
July 12, 2018 was a tragic night for Paula and her four children. Around 3am, the family was trapped inside the home with an electrical fire. Fortunately Paula managed to get the kids out of the home and sacrificed herself for them. Paula was severely burned from third degree burns and currently has undergone her second surgery in Baton Rouge General Hospital. 97.5% of her body is burned and her organs have begun to shut down. Doctors say there is about a 0% chance that she will recover from her condition. 

Her four younger children are ages 9, 12, 16 and 24... who have nothing to go home to. No clothes, belongings, or mother. We are asking for these funds to help pay for medical expenses, new necessities for the children, and possibly therapy. If you could find it in your heart to help at all, our family we would greatly appreciate it. Paula’s birthday is tomorrow and she’s not expected to make it through the night. 

Thank you for all prayers.
