I am a Burn Survivor. | story time *graphic pictures*

17 & a burn survivor.

I hope you guys enjoyed my story! I made this video to be shown at a benefit my grandparents held in August, and it made an impact I never expected. My goal is to continue educating the world on burn survivors & inspire those who have been through the same experiences. Follow me along my journey and you'll see how different life is, but also how it never changed!

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and listen to my story. It truly is so amazing the amount or love & support yall have 💛 james is doing really good! He was unfortunately burned worse mainly because he was holding the container and closer to the barrel. his healing process is going amazing, & he continues to grow and heal every day. I try not to give out too much information because i want to respect him and his family's privacy. everything i say about him is with his permission! again, thank you all so much💕

The ability for humans to bounce back from the most horrific things is a real testament to how strong people are, they just don't know it.

Before burn - one of the most prettiest smile I've ever seen
After burn - Still one of the most prettiest smile I've ever seen
Whatever you do, do NOT lose that pretty smile. Please

It's so scary how one night can change the entire couse of a person's life

Edit: omg I was not expecting this many likes

Instead of beauty gurus, wig companies should sponsor burn victims.

Damn.. the fact that she was able to think like “don’t open your mouth so the gas and smoke don’t get in your lungs” and “keep your eyes closed so the gas and flames don’t get it” all while on fire.. is amazing. I’d probably have been freaking out and completely unable to think period. That’s strength.

the dislikes are the people trying to like but didn’t see because of the tears In their eyes. Girl you are a warrior. God bless you ❤️

ur so smart，I would've just screamed and panicked.

Whoever told you that having 50% of your body burned "isn't much" needs a slap across the face. Incredible story and thank you for sharing! Wishing you all the best on recovery and healing :)

For anyone here who doesn’t know, gasoline is no joke, and should never be used to start a fire. It doesn’t just burn like lighter fluid. It literally explodes.

I too was in the Vanderbilt Burn ward Dec12, 2019. You were down the hall from me. The nurses told me about you and James....and I prayed so many times for you both. Those nurses .... I want you to know how much they cared about you. I would ask them how you were doing and I could see it in their eyes how special you are. You inspired me to get up and go on with life and accept my scars, my new normal. God has blessed us so much. I am so happy to finally see "the girl down the hall" and know you are just as beautiful as I imagined you to be. ❤️

Not a lot of people know this, but scar tissue is much harder and and not even close to how soft real skin is. She is an absolute trooper.

YouTube recommended me your videos and you are doing great! One of my friends who is a burn survivor said the best thing he did after his accident was connect with other burn survivors. Let me know if you ever want to connect with some really cool people who are also burn survivors!

[robin]

I guess I'm 3 years late seeing this story but I hope you're doing well and thriving. You are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! God bless you young lady! ❤

This video came up on my recommended and I’m blown away with how strong you are! I’m glad you’ve got such a great support system around you. I’m from the UK & we have an amazing presenter here called Katie Piper who is a burns survivor. You might want to check her out as she’s real inspiring too. Sending love!

[christinaa]

When she said that many people don't think it was that serious when they heard 49-50% of her body, I was shocked. Cause when she mentioned it I literally gasped audibly.

[katiemyers]

This really just shows how something can change in a matter of second.. she is so brave for sharing her story!!

it's scary how your life can change in the blink of an eye

[lauraperry]

The fact that you’re not angry at the friend who put gas on the fire is an amazing testimony to your love for others. I’m glad you have a good support network. Praying for your healing.
