Did you know that in Peru more than 15 thousand children are burned in a year, and that Yarumy is one of the victims.
At just 11 months old, little Yarumy suffered a fall that changed her life. He slipped from his walker into a plastic tub filled with hot water sustaining 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Since then, his recovery has been accompanied by different challenges that involve the physical and emotional part.
This little girl, need 5 surgeries and receive the comprehensive rehabilitation, she needs to recover full flexibility in her left arm and hand, in addition to significantly improving the scars on her face.
Despite everything, Yarumy is a happy girl, she loves to dance and play with her best friend who is her older sister. Her mother is from the mountains, and she loves to enjoy the typical food of her mother's town, but she also loves the typical food of Lima.
We thank everyone for helping Yarumy have a better quality of life.
