A gust of wind has changed my life . On the 2nd of April, while cooking food to raise funds to pay for medical bills incurred by me from the death of my 19yr old Son Ja’Dion Hughes . (He was killed 06/03/2025) , a gust of wind picked up my tent . This caused the table it was tied to lift, which tipped over the deep fryer. (grease was over 350 degrees) I tried to run , but it was too late. The hot grease hit my left leg from the middle of my thigh , all the way to my feet . I had to remove my pants in front of everyone at this busy intersection, but I didnt care . Besides loosing my Son, this was the worst pain I ever felt in my life . People volunteered to put my stuff away as I was driven to the closest hospital. 
Once the doctor in the ER saw my leg, I was told there was nothing they could do. They just didn’t have staff trained to handle this type of burn. I was transferred by ambulance in excruciating pain to USA Medical Center Burn Unit in Mobile, Alabama. Which is where I am right now. I’ve had 2 surgeries so far, but I have a long way to go , and we all know how costly this is going to be . I don’t know if I’m going to be able to to walk , or even work when this is over. 
I can’t believe all of this is happening, but I can’t loose my faith in God, cause to be honest if I didn’t trust in God , I would have gave up when I lost my baby boy.  
I’m about to loose everything in my mind , but God told me to swallow my earthly pride , tell my story, trust in him , and he will work a miracle in my life . So if you’re reading this , I need your help, and if God touches your heart to help me , may you be blessed in every way, and thank you in advance . If you can’t, just pray for me with a sincere heart . 
I know 50k is not enough to cover this, but I’m following instructions , and trusting that God knows better than me.
