4-year-old Heavenlight

4-year-old Heavenlight from Arusha sustained severe burns to her waist, buttocks, genitals, and legs when her clothing caught fire from an open fireplace used for cooking 🔥

Due to the long distance and the family’s lack of financial means, Heavenlight was not admitted to the hospital until a month and a half after the accident. She underwent surgery a few weeks later and was discharged after spending another couple of weeks in the Burn Unit.

Many families cannot afford the treatment offered at the hospital. This is a huge obstacle and it means that it often takes far too long for children with burn injuries to reach the hospital 🏩

A crucial part of Care4Burn’s work is precisely to help children like Heavenlight, ensuring that they receive the life-saving surgery and care that they need.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports Care4Burn and our work—your help makes a direct difference for children like Heavenlight 🧡❤️
