In our darkest hours--it can be hard to See The Possible. But a former firefighter has made it his mission to give hope to the youngest survivors of fire.
The term scarred for life is quite literal for Chrissy Aitkin, who at 5 years old, survived a fire that killed her two sisters and grandmother. A fire that started after someone threw a homemade bomb through the window.
“My dad had to bury his daughters and his mother on his birthday, October 4th, because it was the last day the hospital could hold the bodies," she said.
Chrissy was left with 3rd degree burns, and lost both her hands and feet. She could have died an emotional death. But after hundreds of surgeries she not only survived, but flourished. She now rides horses, runs marathons, and proudly showed us her tattoo of a Phoenix… with the date of the fire...a symbol that she was reborn.
