Last July, 10 year old Maria returned to Shriners Hospital in Boston for skin grafting and releases. Maria, one of five children in her family, was cooking over an open fire when her dress caught fire in February 2008. Maria’s humble family lives in rural Honduras, and they do not have electricity in their house. This brave little girl traveled to Boston alone and spent her post operative time at Tom and Emily Collins’ home.
She is a compassionate girl who generously thought of others when celebrating her 10th birthday. Instead of receiving gifts for herself, she asked her friends to donate gifts for the impoverished children of Honduras. Allison is an inspiration to all!
