Cheering On Charlie: A Loved One’s Journey Supporting a Burn Survivor Girls with Grafts

    • Non-Profit

After a burn injury, burn survivors often face a lifelong journey to healing. While the burn injury itself directly impacts the life of the survivor—caregivers, family members, and loved ones that support the burn survivor also face new challenges in the new roles they have taken on.

Today we’re chatting with the Xavier’s about their story of survival, and discuss Andre’s new book, I Almost Lost Her, now available on Amazon.

About “I Almost Lost Her”
I Almost Lost Her is the story of Charlie’s ongoing healing and André’s acceptance of his own vulnerability. Readers follow the couple’s journey through adversity, the highs and lows, and everything in between. Ultimately, in the face of great suffering, Charlie and André learn to feel fear and pain, then release it so they may remain focused on their new and beautiful life. In their highly-anticipated debut book, André and Charlie remind us that strength, faith, and love are the cornerstones of enduring partnerships—no matter how bleak the circumstance. No matter how difficult the fight.
