Conformation

Good Afternoon! About three months a ago while I was working at my job in the pharmacy. I meet a young gentleman and his sister in the drivethru wanting to get a prescription filled. As, I asked his sister for her brother's information something caught my eye. He was sitting on the passenger side of the car with a towel over his head. I asked him why did he have the towel over his head. He pulled the towel from his head and said "I was just in a house fire". My heart started racing with compassion for the young man. He told me that his face, back, and legs where burned. I could tell that he was an attractive young man, and that he was going to need some support from like minded people to get through this crisis. I asked him why did the hospital send him away and he had just got burned. He said they just put some cream on his burns and gave him a prescription for pain. I was shocked that here's a burned victim in the drivethru left to pick up the pieces from his tragedy with no support except from his family. I told him about going to the burn center that, I volunteer at for treatment for his burns so that he would know how to take care of himself and his burns. Also I told him about the support group and was looking forward to seeing him there. I shared with him that I too was a burn survivor and that I would love to keep in touch with him for support. That was my conformation for me to continue on this path for burn victims and survivors. Until next time ...Tiffany.....
