School’s Love Helps 9-Year-Old Survivor Heal After Tragic Accident
Nine-year-old Ramesses Dreuitt Vazquez faced a life-threatening ordeal last January when a medical transport plane crashed, causing his family’s car to catch fire. Tragically, his father and his father’s girlfriend lost their lives, and Ramesses sustained burns on 90% of his body.
Doctors weren’t sure he would survive.
