Veronica has had surgery! 💚

Over the past year, Care4Burn have been raising money so that Veronica could have her tracheostomy removed – a tube she has lived with for over 3 years, after extensive burns on 55% of her body. Yesterday it finally happened.

The surgery was carried out, and her doctor says it was successful. Veronica is now in the ICU, where she will be on controlled ventilation for a few days. This is the first of two surgeries – but the most important step has been taken.

We met Veronica back in 2022 at the Burn Department. She is one of the bravest girls we have ever met. She has been through more than most adults, but she has never given up.
Thank you so much to all of you who have contributed to the purchase of the surgical equipment, which was absolutely crucial for the surgery.

Together we can make a difference 💚🙏
