KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Claudia Gonzalez has been at the University of Kansas Hospital for nearly two months. The mother suffered burns to 60 percent of her body while saving her children from her burning home.
The fire happened on Oct. 3. Gonzalez saved two of her boys, but her son Yahir died in the blaze.
Gonzalez's hospital bills have been piling up, but now, musician Kid Rock is offering help.
Kid Rock announced a donation to El Centro at Tuesday night's concert at the Midland. The group plans to give the money to Gonzalez.
"It is great help. I would give it all away to get my little boy back," said Gonzalez.
The Kid Rock Foundation is donating $375,000 to 12 cities to organizations like El Centro.
