About this fundraiser

 

Please pray for my 8 year old godson CJ. He was being bullied at summer camp because he has special needs, but he is truly a awesome and special kid. There was a group of kids who were playing around the bonfire and they threw a aerosol can in the fire and CJ was a innocent bystander when it exploded and his clothing caught on fire leaving him with 1st & 2nd degree burns over 65% of his face & body. He was taken to MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital in Maryland and is now in the critical care unit. They are taking really good care of him, but there is nothing more powerful than prayer. His mom Kristen is extremely devastated and truly upset at this and the fact that these mean boys caused great harm to her son, and she refuses to leave little CJ's side. Kristen will not be able to work for at least 3-4 weeks and this will financially impact her greatly. With the stress of having to worry about CJ’s well-being & the long road to recovery, finding consistent care for his little sister 5 year old Amira as well, and now having to delay his return to school which would have started August 23rd because he loves school & is a honors student. Any help will be greatly appreciated and a true blessing for Kristen and her little family, the assistance with bills & the legal matters that will be involved due to the incident. (Due to the extent of his wounds and the disfigurement, his mom has asked me to blur out his face and she has been in tears nonstop. I respect her privacy)

I will keep everyone posted on CJ's progress during this difficult time. Thank you in advance.
