At just fifteen months old, baby Zaela Gamboa of Punta Gorda Town was burnt on February 26, 2019. The child’s mother, Aaronie Gamboa, explained that Zaela and her five year old sister were playing when she heard a scream. Gamboa said when she ran to the back room she saw baby Zaela on a sponge beside an outlet which seemed to have caught fire. Assistance has been rendered through Burn Victim Mercy Fund to help baby Zaela get the needed medical attention at Shriners Hospital for Children in Galveston, Texas. Yvette Burk, Chair and Founder of Burn Victim Mercy Fund gave us an update on the progress of Baby Zaela. Since 1997, a total of 36 burn victims have been assisted by the Burn Victim Mercy Fund. Burks stated that funding has been slow to assist with further expenses for baby Zaela and reminds the public that donations would be appreciated. Donations are welcome at Belize Bank Burn Victim Mercy Fund./////
