The Humboldt fisherman’s wives has generously offered to put on a Burn recovery fundraiser for my nephew and his 2 crew members that sustained severe burns while commercial fishing off of Oregon Coast a month ago when the boat engine exploded.

he 2 crew were released from the hospital a couple weeks ago and are now recovering at home. My nephew Emanuel, the captain of the Mariah K is still in the intensive care unit at St Francis burn center in San Francisco. He’s had 5 extensive surgeries thus far and is expected to be hospitalized for another month. He’s been able to walk a handful of times and sit in a recliner for a bit which is great progress.  This fundraiser will benefit all three. Community support is greatly appreciated.
