Burned Iraqi boy experiences a little happiness…
Youssif, the 5 year old Iraqi boy that stole the hearts of many Americans, after hearing about how a group of terrorists set him on fire and disfigured him. After viewing the photo of how beautiful Youssif was before this heinous act, we now get to experience how beautiful he is on the inside as well.
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Burned Iraqi boy Youssif shows no fear as he stares up at the rock-climbing wall. “I can do it fast and then I am going to stand on top.”
It’s a declaration of defiance and strength from the 5-year-old who will need plenty of both as he continues his long recovery from horrific burns suffered when masked men set him on fire.
In the eight weeks since his last surgery, the doctors’ predictions are coming true and Youssif’s face actually looks worse even as it gets better.
