"Hello, I'm Cassandra, on November 8, 2002, I wanted to eat french fries, like all the kids, I loved them! I'm going to the kitchen, the fryer already had time to heat up, at the age of 10 months, I pulled the cable from the electric fryer and spilled the hot oil on me. I suffered third-degree burns in 80% of my body. I was transferred directly to the hospital, doctors gave me a cardiac massage, tried to resuscitate me more than once, then I fell into a coma for 2 long months. I was between life and death, when I woke up I had my whole body covered in bandages. The first operation was an expander (balloon) that is placed between my flesh and the skin, on my back, and for 3 months it was inflated once a week at the rehabilitation center, this is done to have a larger surface of healthy skin and to be able to cover a part of my burned body. For the following operations, it was the same process each time. After spending a few months in the hospital, I was transferred to the rehabilitation center in Miribel, where I spent another 7-8 months. Today I am 17 years old, I have been to the hospital several times and then to the rehabilitation center " .
