California man loses hand while cleaning up fireworks debris on beach

A post-Fourth of July beach cleanup took a terrifying turn when a
Northern California man lost his hand while removing fireworks debris. 

According to a GoFundMe set up by Ashley Turner, her father Jason was
walking along Point St. George Beach in Crescent City with his
girlfriend on July 5, picking up firework trash in an effort to keep the
area clean.  

When he went to pick up a piece of debris, a “bomb-like device
unexpectedly went off,” the fundraiser explains.  

“The explosion resulted in the loss of his hand, turning what should
have been a simple act of kindness into a life-changing emergency,” it
further states, adding that he needed two more surgeries after having
his hand amputated. 

He may also never see or hear again, the GoFundMe says.

The GoFundMe has been set up to help Jason’s family through the
difficult road to recovery. It explains that will go directly towards
medical transportation, essential medications and hotel stays for him
and his family during treatment.  

“He is the sole provider for his family and still has two children in
school to care for,” the fundraiser says. “Every bit of support will
help ease the burden and allow Jason to focus on healing.”
