Three weeks after she was severely burnt after a fire gutted her Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara house, seven-year-old Shaniya Persaud has shown significant improvement and is recovering well in the United States, where she is currently receiving treatment.
Non-governmental organisation Saving Hands Emergency Aid (SHEA) on Sunday said Persaud has since undergone several surgeries, all of which were successful. She can now speak, eat and even move on her own.
“To date Shaniya has undergone several surgeries all of which have been successful. Thank-fully all parts of her body has been saved, including her fingers, toes and her eyesight,” SHEA said in a Facebook post.
