Evelin - 8 years later

8/14/2021

        This sweet girl, Evelin, stole my heart eight years ago - spunky, brave, and super excited about her pressure garments!   She was four years old and had extensive burns on her arms and abdomen that had required skin grafts and a lengthy hospital stay.   We started her therapy while I was visiting Bolivia and she made a big impression on me. 
          I was thrilled yesterday that I was in the clinic when she walked in, EIGHT YEARS since I saw her last!   She immediately ran up to our photo WALL OF LOVE and pointed herself out to me!  She still wears a garment every day and is working hard to keep her skin soft and malleable as she turns into a teenager and her body begins to change.   Take a look at the  photos from yesterday, Evelin is 12 years old now!   Of course, she stole my heart all over again and we have become what's app buddies too!   I love you sweet Evelin!

    Hi,  I'm Cindy, 

    God literally set me on fire in 2001 with third degree burns on 40% of my body so that I could understand the needs and so that I would have  a passion for other burn victims......Now, I travel and teach, helping care givers in developing countries around the world with practical ideas on how to offer a low cost, effective, rehabilitation program for their patients.
