A Pomona family is in need of assistance after their young son, Leuca, sustained horrific burns to his feet, ankles and legs in a freak accident, and is receiving ongoing medical treatment in Brisbane.
Klyne Love, a friend of the boy’s parents, Ben and Ruby Smith, set up a gofundme page to provide some financial aid so that they can be present with Leuca during his treatment without additional stress and worry.
Leuca received severe burns to his feet after the accident at their home involving a hot water system that malfunctioned and overflowed.The 16-month-old is unable to walk and is expected to remain in hospital for weeks undergoing surgery and treatment.
“I created this Gofundme as a way for their community near and far to come together to offer them some tangible support to help alleviate some of the financial burden from all of the additional costs involved in an accident of this nature, such as transport and being unable to work,” Klyne said.
“Hopefully we can create a buffer so that they can be present with Leuca without additional stress and worry. I’m sure they are maxed out in this department already.”
Any donation would be so gratefully received.
