Quinton Oil Rig Explosion-Family
Yesterday several families were torn apart by an oil rig explosion. At this time of crisis I imagine they don't even know what they will need.
On behalf of the McAlester Regional Health Center Foundation we are putting together this GoFundMe to help ease these times. If you know of any of the families in need please feel free to reach out.
Our goal of $10,000 is to allow for travel of family, food, bills that may need to be paid, and any other unforseen cost in the immediate future.
I know this is a large amount of money, but there are several families involved.
These are our local families and they need our support, please help however you can.
If we can get this spread to a national level (think big news networks) then maybe we can exceed our goals.
All moneys will be distributed evenly to the 5 families who have lost someone.

"Five oil rig workers were missing after an explosion Monday in an Oklahoma gas well, Pittsburg County Sheriff Chris Morris said in a press conference.
Seventeen employees were rescued but "five are still unaccounted for at the well," Morris said.
Sixteen people had no injuries or minor injuries, and one person was flown by medical helicopter to a hospital in Tulsa, officials said.
Emergency responders received a call reporting the gas well explosion at 8:45 a.m. local time.
The location was on fire, and crews were pulled back after several explosions, said Pittsburg County Emergency Management Director Kevin Enloe."
