Marius was only 8 years old when a house fire in his native country of Romania took the lives of his parents and burned over 75% of his body, leaving him without fingers or a nose. After many months in the hospital without visitors, two American girls got word of his story and started visiting him almost every day, forming a close friendship and eventually raising money to bring him to America for treatment. A year later, he was adopted by one of the girls’ family. This is a story of miracles. Of optimism. Of chosen family and abundant kindness. And it just might inspire you to do something nice for someone you don’t know.
