Location of the injury

Half of my body

What kind of injury is it

It's third degree burns that cover 60% of my body

What happened

I was 15 and I feel asleep at the wheel and when I woke up I had been trapped in my seat belt. I was able to get out of the car but I was on fire. Thank god for the man that called the EMS. I was in the hospital for almost a year and had multiple surgeries. That therapy was hard

What I'd Do Differently

  • Not taken that car would, have tried to work things out with my foster mother, maybe my life would be better
