It was around 4 a.m. Jan. 5, 2015, when Martha Venegas and her husband were in the midst of a heated argument at their home just north of Moorpark city limits, according to police reports. Police indicated that her husband doused Venegas with gasoline and set her on fire during the pre dawn dispute. Miraculously Martha was able to put out the fire and call 911. Despite her pain and shock she was able to tell dispatchers what had happened.

The recovery of burn injuries is a long and arduous process. While Martha continues to recover from her scars, both physically and emotionally, she also remains affected financially and continues to need support to help manage her ongoing medical needs, as well as some of the very basic essentials to sustain her and her family. Every dollar you donate will go to help this remarkable woman get back on her feet.
