Medjine is a 19-year-old girl and student from Haiti, where she and her sisters live with their mother. Medjine loves to dress up, read, and listen to music. Her favorite music genre is raboday, a type of upbeat Haitian music.
When she was about one year old, Medjine was burned on her face and part of her chest from a boiling pot of bean sauce. Growing up, Medjine has only known her face with the burn scars.
Our medical partner, Innovating Health International, is helping Medjine receive surgery to repair the burns. They are requesting $1,095 to fund her travel costs and hospitals fees, and the supplies, labs, and medications needed for the procedure.
Medjine is scheduled to receive reparative surgery on March 5.
