Ocracoke Fireworks Disaster Fund
I have had some people ask for information about offering assistance to the families of the victims of the July 4th fireworks explosion. I have information on where to make contributions for those of you who may be interested.
Charles Kirkland, Jr, 49, was killed in the blast.
Terry Holland, 49; Mark Hill, 21 and Lisa Simmons, 41 all died later in hospitals from injuries sustained in the blast.
Martez Holland, 27, is the only survivor. He is Terry Holland's nephew. He has severe burns over 20% of his body and has already been through at least two surgeries. The doctors say that he will eventually regain the use of both arms damaged by the blast but will have to continue to return to UNC Hospitals for the rest of his life. Emotional recovery will probably take just as long. He asks to be kept in your prayers.
The Lord's Table Church, which was attended by some of the victims, has set up a fund to benefit the families of the victims. Donations can be made by calling 919-751-8188 or by mailing checks payable to The Ocracoke Fireworks Disaster Fund.

Thank you for posting this. My daughter and I were on the island that day and I am glad to know a way that we can offer some small bit of help.
