Accident in Paso Robles
A family in Paso Robles, located in San Luis Obispo County, is asking for support after a tragic accident left their 11-month-old daughter, Emma, with serious burns. The incident occurred on July 4th, during Independence Day celebrations, when a firework rocket struck the baby's car seat.
Emma was in her car seat, which was equipped with a sunshade designed to keep her cool and protected from the sun. However, this cover acted as a trap for the rocket, which exploded and caused a fire that could not escape, resulting in burns on the baby’s right arm, leg, and cheek.
The accident has had severe consequences for Emma’s health, and she has been transferred to the Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno to receive specialized treatment. Her condition requires ongoing medical attention, and she may need additional procedures for her recovery.
Given the magnitude of the medical expenses, as well as the costs associated with transportation and lodging during the hospital stay, the family has decided to open a GoFundMe fundraising campaign. This initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden they face as they try to provide their daughter with the best possible care. The campaign is focused on covering not only direct medical expenses but also other related costs such as fuel for hospital trips and nearby lodging.
The family has shared that they are deeply affected by this unexpected event and appreciate any support they can receive from the community. The accident has generated an outpouring of support and empathy, with many people offering help and showing solidarity with the difficult situation they are going through.
Emma’s story and her family’s experience highlight the importance of safety during celebrations and the devastating impact an accident can have on a family’s life. The Paso Robles community and beyond are coming together to help during this critical time, demonstrating strength and solidarity in times of adversity.
