Shaniya Persaud, the seven-year-old who was burnt in a fire that gutted her Mon Repos North, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home almost two weeks ago, underwent a skin grafting procedure yesterday in the United States.
Non-governmental organisation Saving Hands Emergency Aid (SHEA) in a Facebook post said Persaud on Thursday opened her eyes for the first time since she was burnt.
“She is in good spirits,” the post stated.
