US man saves five kids from fire, netizens support him on GoFundMe

He quickly parked near the house and entered it from the backdoor. He then called out to wake the house’s residents who he assumed might be unaware of the escalating fire. He found four children in the bedroom and woke them up. They all rushed outside, but then Bostic was told that a six-year-old was still inside.

Bostic stepped inside the house once again to look for the child. By the time he found the child, Bostic had inhaled much smoke. However, he managed to hold the child and jump out of a window. The child was unharmed and Bostic was flown to Indianapolis for treatment.

Incredible. Just incredible. This brought tears to my eyes. Despite all his injuries, his concern was for others. A brave and rare individual, for sure!

Why is there even a gofundme to begin with to cover his medical bills? It should be 100% paid for by the city and not from donors to cover it. We pay taxes and that should help him without handouts. This gofundme should only be for his reward for risking his lives not a bill.
