Before Being Accepted to Shriner's
This is the story of Susan Nabukenya. Susan is a 14-year-old Ugandan girl who just arrived to Boston for life-saving plastic surgery at Boston Shriners. Susan was burned from her chest to her toes when she stepped too close to a cooking fire and her kerosene-stained dress ignited. She has lived with burn contractures and open wounds for four years and was forced to drop out of school. She had lost all hope. Until now. Join us as we journey with Susan towards a brighter future.
It takes a village . . .
As Susan's voyage unfolds, she will need our continued support. We are a small group who are honored with the task of caring for her while in the US, but we are also a group with modest resources. If you wish to make a tax-deductible donation (big or small) to help lift some of this weight, you can do so at www.engeye.org or www.jcause.org. We are so appreciative of all the support and encouragement thus far!
Checks and gift cards can also be mailed directly to Susan's host mom, Ms. Jackie Lamont. Please note that all checks made out directly to Jackie are not tax-deductible, while donations made directly to www.engeye.org or www.jcause.org are tax-deductible. Below is Jackie's address:

How Can You Help Susan??
Susan currently does not attend school and sadly does not have a "home" to return to in Uganda. You can help change that! Susan will need approx. $800 per year to cover the cost of boarding school, which includes housing, books, meals, tuition and uniforms. We hope to see Susan through a college education.

These pictures truly show the transformation in Susan over the past two months. This is about so much more than her injuries and surgery! Susan does not even resemble the sad, hopeless girl who arrived in May. Her smile now lights up a room and she has clearly opened her heart to her new "family" and friends. Team Susan has really transformed this beautiful young woman.

Susan, you have come so far. You should be very proud.
Susan, you were beautiful when you got here but you are now even more vibrant. I wish you all well, you are doing great work.
