Hi. My name is anthony wilson. On october 2nd 2006 my family was involved in a horrable house explotion in Michigan due to a busted natural gas line in the basement. We were all rushed to the hospital suffering horrable burns. I myself was in critical condition suffering burns on my hands, abdomen, feet, and thighs, resulting in skin graphs. I spent 19 days in the burn ward. My sister Erika and her 11 month old son only suffered from smoke inhelation (thank the lord). And my mother Stephanie suffered from major burns, 72% of her body was at least 2nd degree. My mother being a smoker had both her lungs colapse and had to be put into a medical enduced acoma in fear that she was taking a turn for the worse. On thanksgiving day of 2006 she woke up from her acoma and we all got to go to the hospital and have thanksgiving as a family. We are doing a Whole lot better now. I have full function of all my fingers, my mom is finilly off medication and can do everything she used to be able to do, and we are all a whole lot closer as a family. We got a new 2 bedroom appartment downtown The only problem we are running into is that we only have one sorce of income and that is my part time job. I make enough to pay the bills but thats about it. We get food stamps so we have money to eat. The problem is the holidays. I am trying to collect donations so I can give my family the Christmas they disurve. And we dont need much, just something to give my family so i can see them smile (something that dosent happen much anymore). Anything at all will help.

you can send donations to Jadebrandi@yahoo.com

Thank you and god bless.

Thank you verry much! I do my Best to make sure they are as happy as can be, but its the same time of year that it happend so everyone gets really gloomy. Its hard to think back and remeber all the things we had that dident seem to mean much at the time, but now I would kill to be able to watch our old home movies, or look at our old photo albums. I just want this year to be diffrent. The holidays are supposed to me a time of joy and happyness, and thats what im trying to bring to my family. Once again thank you for your kind words and for the suggestions. I'll be sure to check them out.

reply to preyforme----You say your familyyour family doesn't smile much anymore and that's a shame. I realize that you have all been through horrific circumstances that I can't imagine. But I think you all have a great deal to smile about, not many people would live through such a thing as a gas exposion, God must have been in your back pocket on that day for all of you to come out hurt but alive and be able to return to a somewhat life of normalcy. I think I would be smiling quite a bit. Your family does deserve a nice Christmas especially what you have been through. I would suggest that you try Friendshelpingfriends and Elaine of TSA or Soulight  's pages, they have so much really good info on organizations and government agencies that can help you. You will have to sort out through the offerings and find what you need. I wish you the best of the holidays. sincerely sheshe030
