Request from Jill Doke and Christy Blehm...

Dear Friends,
We wanted to share with you some news about one of our clients, friends and my neighbor. John Allen of Brighton was involved in a propane explosion last weekend and is the Burn Unit at St. John's Hospital in Springfield with burns to his face and arms. His wife Michelle and their two young children were also there during the incident but had only minor injuries.
I am trying to help meet some of this families needs at this time. The Allen's have no health insurance. I am having a benefit chili supper on
March 13 at the Morrisville (Marion C. Early) cafeteria from 5 pm-7 pm. All donations will go to the Allen Family. We are also asking if anyone would like to sponsor a night for Michelle to be able to stay at the hospital to be by John's side. The cost for this is $20 a night.
I have set up an benefit account at Farmer's State Bank in Morrisville in the name of John Allen. If anyone would like to help this family in anyway, you can contact me on my cell at 838-9216. I will send out email updates on how he is doing on his progress. Please keep this family in your prayers and thoughts.

Thank you, Jill Doke

Does anyone know how much money was raised last night? I was just curious to see. I heard he still has a 50/50 chance of living. But, someone told me that if they give you that in the burn unit, it's a GOOD thing. So, lets just keep them all in our prayers. They are the absolute NICEST family! It really is too bad.
