Khadejah is a 14 year old Syrian refugee whose arm was badly burned when the war first started and her family house burned down. Fortunately her family immediately made it to Jordan, where she was able to access specialised medical treatment for severe burns. While she still has pain, she can now use her arm again. Khadejah and her family are grateful for the help they have received in Jordan.
