Marya, a vibrant elementary school teacher, was at home preparing a cup of instant noodles when an accidental spill caused boiling water, oil, and sticky noodles to cling to her skin.

Marya suffered severe burns across her abdomen and thigh, which required donated tissue to help fight off infection and give her skin time to heal.

“Before my burn, I had no idea how someone’s skin could help so much.” – Marya, Skin Recipient.

Now, Marya is getting back to life, thanks to her tissue donor.

Every year, tissue donations improve the quality of life for more than 10,000 individuals in Ontario.
