Eighteen days ago, Patricia and Mike Stiles woke up to a nightmare. One that they and their families are still going through today. It’s a nightmare that is going to continue for some time to come. Since that time the dairy industry from around the world has rallied to their support. Sending out prayers, love, support and giving generously to aid them.
Both Patricia Stiles and her granddaughter, Reese Burdette, who Patricia risked her life to try and save, continue to fight their battles. (Read more: Patricia Stiles – Dairy Farmer, Grandmother, Hero, Fighting for her life!) Pneumonia is huge demon that both are facing, as well as the other infections and trauma that face burn victims. Surgeries for skin grafting are working, and slowly, but surely, Reese and Patricia are healing. Doctors have estimated at least 15 to 30 operations for the Reese over the next few months — many for skin grafting.
The dairy industry continues to rally around these families, with support and donations. Thanks to the support of many of our community members, for the past two weeks we have been running a fundraiser to help these families deal with the costs associated with these many surgeries.
