A fundraiser has been set up to help the family of a man injured in the recent building collapse at the Boise Airport airfield.
Three died and nine were injured — five of whom were in critical condition — after the unfinished steel building collapsed Wednesday night, according to Boise Fire. The structure near Rickenbacker and Luke streets was to become a new hangar for Jackson Jet Center.
While officials have released the names of the three who died , they still haven’t provided the names of those injured.
A verified GoFundMe fundraiser has given the first name of one of the injured victims. The fundraising page said Jose was in critical condition after the collapse. Jose is a husband and father of three children between the ages of 15 and 18, according to the page.
“He is a very hardworking blue-collar man and cherished by all his family and friends,” the GoFundMe states. “Jose is such an amazing soul, and we cannot be more devastated by unfortunate circumstances.”
The fundraiser was set up by his niece, according to the page. Joanna Lopez, the listed creator of the page, did not respond to the Idaho Statesman’s request for comment, but GoFundMe spokesperson Jeff Platt told the Statesman that GoFundMe experts have verified the fundraiser came from the family of a collapse victim.
