SAN ANTONIO -- A mother and father are turning tragedy into hope.
Their son, Adam Doiron, fought for nearly a year after most of his body was burned during a car crash.
"He died twice in the emergency room but was revived," Tracy Doiron said. "He went through so much. Burns are very unique injury. They are very painful."
The last time she texted her son was the same morning he left to go to a job for his family's sound and lighting production business. On the way, the 18-wheeler he was riding in crashed and burst into flames near Orange, Texas.
"When we left the house that night, we had no idea we were not coming back," said Adam's father, Bob Doiron.
For the next nine and a half months, Adam was at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he was airlifted after the crash. More than 90 percent of his body was burned. His parents were constantly by his side until June when he passed away, at 29-years-old.
The entire time, his family shared his story and fight on a Facebook a page named "A Miracle for Adam," that has more than 20,000 likes; a testament to his family's reach.
The Doiron's are now in the process of setting up a non-profit called "Adam's Miracle."
They are putting together bags full of toiletries for families who rush to the hospital, some of whom have already been delivered to the same hospital were Adam was treated. The Doiron's also sent one family to a conference for burn victims and their families.
"There are people in the hospital tonight, today, tomorrow. On Christmas Day there will be people in the hospital with burns," Tracy said. "We know there is an immediate need and to honor Adam's memory."
