ATHENS, Ga. More than $50,000 has been raised for a young Athens boy after he lost his family in an unthinkably tragic house fire on Wednesday.
Three people died in the fire, which 12-year-old Taeden Johnson escaped. The Athens-Clarke County Coroner s Office identified the victims as 52-year-old Penny Fields, 35-year-old Penyada Fields and a 9-year-old girl as Mariah Fields.
Taeden was taken to a hospital with burn injuries that were described as not life-threatening, as well as some smoke inhalation.
A GoFundMe has been started for Taeden, which so far has raised more than $50,000 dollars. He has burn wounds on his face, elbow, and arm but he is smiling and I am so thankful for that.
