Sebastián is one of the survivors of the tragedy of Villa El Salvador in Lima, he is a 3-year-old boy, who loves “tallarines verdes” and the typical Peruvian food called "ceviche", he is also passionate about playing with his carts. He currently lives with his father and aunt, the little one still does not remember that he lost his mother and older sister in this terrible accident.
This child has severe second and third degree burns equivalent to 65% of his body, at the beginning it was difficult for him to get used to his compression garments, however now he plays and runs as before, and another good news is that the itching of his little body has dropped by 70%. However, the use of the silicone thermoplastic mask, if it bothers him a little, but the father does not stop monitoring its use, and another problem, presented by Sebastián, is that the thumb of his right hand tends to pull back because of the graft he has, so that through play the father manages to move his finger, you can see the short video about it.
ANIQUEM is very happy with the results and with the family's commitment, although Sebastian has a long way to go, he is not alone, he has the support of many people with great hearts who want to see a smile again in this little one.
That is why we say thank you very much!
Please take care and all the best.
With gratitude,
The whole Team ANIQUEM
