A two-year-old boy is fighting for life after suffering horrific burns in a house fire believed to be sparked by a clothes dryer. 

On May 1, Elijah was flown to Melbourne Royal Children hospital in a critical condition after a blaze engulfed his family home.

The toddler has sustained third-degree burns to 42 per cent of his body.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help with ongoing medical bills and Elijah’s future rehabilitation costs.
