38 years ago a nurse cared for Amanda Scarpinati in the pediatric unit of Albany Medical Center in New York. She had been badly burned by a steam vaporizer in her home. These photos are all that remain from that day. Amanda has used the photos as a source of strength as she endured years of bullying because of the scars from her burns. -

“Growing up as a child, disfigured by the burns, I was bullied and picked on, tormented. I’d look at those pictures and talk to her, even though I didn’t know who she was. I took comfort looking at this woman who seemed so sincere, caring for me,” says Amanda. -
