This burn survivor has gone viral for her touching story.According to Compassion IG page
Carmen was 6 months pregnant when she faced severe burns that changed her life forever.
.
“The
reality is that I still don’t know what happened. I was used to driving
the motorcycle,” says Carmen. “I reacted when I found myself on the
ground covered in fire. I put out the fire on my body by myself. Nobody
helped me.
.
When I got to the hospital in
Santo Domingo, the doctor told me that he had to amputate my left arm
immediately because it was too burned, but the only thing I thought
about was my baby. I was just a few weeks from completing seven months
of my #pregnancy.
.
I thank God that today I have my daughter and
also my arm, even though I can’t use it. My baby is healthy, has a good
weight, is very clever and is almost walking. Sometimes I get sad, but I
give thanks to the Lord because probably if I had not had that
accident, I wouldn’t have a family as the Child Survival program family
is for me.”

Of 12 people hospitalized at the burn unit while
Carmen was there, she was the only survivor. Her daughter, Karla,
weighed only one-and-a-half pounds at birth, but they both continue to
recover and preserve. ??❤️
