Introducing Brian.

Brian is eight years of age, despite his injuries and disability he is a very cheerful happy young boy who has had a very tragic journey in life; he was brought to Ms Alina Branisteanu, Head of Childrens Development for Gospellife International, in a very poorly way asking for help.

When Brian was just five months old, he was in a house fire where he was critically burnt.

He suffered severe burns to the head and lost the use of his left hand.

As Brian grew up the burn to his head never healed and due to the continued infection the bone of the skull has worn thin.

From five months of age until the age of eight years his head was a continuous open wound.

For the next five weeks, Alina had to clean the wound and fight off infection.

The beginning of August Brian was taken to the hospital to start the process of a tissue and skin graft; it was expected to be many visits due to the size and severity of the wound.

We can report that as the infection was now gone and the wound was healing so well, the surgeon was able to do both the tissue and skin graft in one operation.

Brian can now even close his eyes when he sleeps; he had not been able to do this from the time of his injuries all those years past. Brian's mother is so excited that her son is now healing.

The next for Brian is to have his arm operated on so he will be able to move it, that will be a whole new experience for him.

Gospellife International, through donations has been able to meet the medical costs and Brian is now on the way to living a very normal life like any other eight years old.
