Abby Milani
Note from 911 CARES: We often get 911 CARES “activation” requests and they all take a place in our hearts. This one is a double loss for Shawn in Illinois. Please read the request below and find a way for you or your agency to help.
Shawn Milani is a dispatcher in Williamson County, Illinois. May 23th his mother was laid to rest after losing her battle with Cancer.
At approx. 03:00 hours this morning (May 24th), we received a call from Shawn's father. He advised us that Abby Milani (Shawn’s 2 year old daughter) was in a tent which caught fire. Apparently this was a truly unforeseen accident. A branch fell on a citronella candle in, that in turn started a grassfire that caught Abby’s camping tent on fire.
She has been extensively burned, and flown to St. Louis Children's Hospital where she was treated and transferred to a burn center in Ohio. She has 3rd degree burns on 25% of her body and numerous 2nd degree burns. Abby is only 2 years old. Burns include 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her entire left side, including her face. Emergency surgery has been done to restore the circulation to her left hand. Many more surgeries and battles are to follow.
This 911 CARES activation is for prayers, cards or letters of support and financial assistance. Though insurance will cover standard care, there are huge associated costs of hospital transfers, specialized treatments, co-payments and travel expenses and family lodging costs in Ohio.
For additional information, contact Shawn’s co-worker Adam, his info is listed below. You can donate directly at www.911cares.com The Williamson County 9-1-1 center appreciates your help and support. We will post updates at www.911cares.com as we get them.
Cards and letters for the dispatch center or family can be sent to Adam and he will personally deliver them. Direct donations to Abby’s family can be made by clicking http://911cares.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=9C&Product_Code=DONATION-ABBY&Category_Code=DON
