A man has now been listed in stable condition and continues to recover after being injured last week in a massive explosion at a home in Long Beach.

An accessory dwelling unit, also known as an ADU, exploded at a residential property in Long Beach on the morning of Oct. 7.

The incident happened around 11 a.m. at a property at West 28th Street and Gale Avenue, according to the Long Beach Fire Department.

“I wanted to share an update on my husband, Manny’s condition,” said Sunday in a statement on GoFundMe.com . “I’m relieved to report that he is stable in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and on the road to recovery following his surgery. Your support has meant so much to us during this challenging time, and we truly appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.”

The online fundraiser had taken in more than $54,000 as of Tuesday morning.

Officials said the explosion originated from the ADU, which is located on the property behind the main house.
