A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist the Eagle family impacted by a home explosion that occurred on Feb. 2.
Homeowner Jeremy Dahlseid was severely injured in the incident. According to Amanda Nolan, who is one of the organizers of the GoFundMe effort, he sustained third-degree burns on 33% of his body. Dahlseid is listed in stable but critical condition in the burn center intensive care unit at UC Health in Denver.
“He is facing multiple surgeries, a lengthy rehabilitation, and will not be able to work while he recovers,” Nolan reported.
Nolan noted it was the second family blow for the Dahlseid family Jeremy and his wife Tanya and 2-year-old daughter Bella last week. While Tanya and Bella were not injured in the explosion, the family was already mourning the Feb. 1 death of Tanya’s mother when the explosion occurred. The Dahlseid home was severely damaged in the explosion and will require major structural repairs before the family can return
