After a tragic accident left both of his arms severely burned, Kesmy St. Louis underwent a double amputation. St. Louis was 12 years old when he suffered a severe seizure, which caused him to fall in an outdoor fire pit that his family used for cooking. His injuries resulted in the amputation of both of his arms above the elbows. Through the kindness of a stranger named Ann Hume, the Bon Samaritan organization, and Wright & Filippis Inc., with headquarters in Rochester Hills, Michigan, this boy from the Republic of Haiti was given a second chance at life.
