27 y/o Courtney Cosper Waldon from Georgia, a mother of a 5 y/o daughter suffered horrific burn to her face after a fire pit accident revealed how the injury left her homeless, out of work AND ABANDONDED by her HUSBAND!!

She had 3rd degree burns to her face and 40% of her body after gasoline was poured on a campfire back in September of last year.

She was rushed to hospital and placed in a medically induced coma for a month and 2 weeks after she awoke, her husband of only 2 months LEFT her AND their 5 y/o daughter, Caroline!!

Because she couldn't work, she and her daughter were homeless and they are still trying to rebuild their life

Courtney said "I went from being the very pretty girl, just married, had my life in order to barely being able to dress myself and needing help for everything and having to learn how to do things over again. It was very hard to come to terms with what happened..The first time i saw myself in the mirror, i got sick and almost passed out. I got so many stares with people looking like they had seen a monster. It was a slap in the face when my husband left me. I tried and begged him to come back, my daughter didn't deserve it. There were defintitely times i wanted to give up, but i had ot think of my daughter. They didn't bring her to the hospital so the first time i saw her, she heard my voice and gave me a hug. She's been amazing"

She spent 51 days in the ICU and had to undergo laser surgery and has 7 skin grafts as well as had to learn how to walk again..

Each surgery cost 11,000 and a GoFundMe page was set up to help cover medical bills as she still has 12 more surgeries to do..

She remembers every second of that day the moment the gasoline was poured on the fire pit as she remembers being on fire and immediately dropped and rolled and finally was tackled to the ground as she was crying in pain..

Without income and with medical bills to pay, they have been forced to leave their home and are living with her mother in Georgia as they are supported by donations and the local church so they can build a small home on family land

Thanks to the donations, the were able to build a small house as companies have helped the project by donating their services with concrete, and a heating/air conditioning system and a roof for free.

Do you think her husband should be named and shamed? let's see what people think.
