The account at Arvest Bank in Sallisaw is set up under the name of Sharon Siemens, the home owner.
Siemens' cousin, Deanna Griffin, said Siemens did not have insurance, and she is currently staying with her son.
"Donations are greatly appreciated," Griffin said.
Siemens, and her roommate, Paula Wadman, lost everything they owned during the explosion. Griffin said the money will be used to find Siemens a place to live.
Wadman was the only one in the home at the time of the incident, and she received burns to her hands and face.
Firefighters with the Central Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire, but the house, which was literally blown up, was a total loss, they reported.
