CARBONDALE, Il (KFVS) - A Carbondale man remains hospitalized in St. Louis after he suffered burns in a fire last weekend. Firefighters say the shell destroyed Johnny Stover's home. However, through the generosity of others the Stover's will soon have a new place to call home.
"I had someone present me some bedding, some pots, and pans. Some dishes, salt and pepper shakers," Family mistress Marie Bryner said.
Those are just some of the donations Bryner has received in recent days. Bryner says in the last after the fire broke out early Sunday morning, she has had been by the sides of Pat and Johnny Stover.
"He was air lifted to the burn module in St. Louis then I drove her up St. Louis to be with him," Bryner said.
Almost nothing remains of the Stover's trailer in Carbondale. Bryner says she has since found them a new pinpoint to live and some furniture. However, she says they still need the little things that will make the new trailer home.
