Kilee Brookbank went to the prom in a sleeveless dress because she wanted to prove something to the whole world.
Her decision was really brave because almost 45% of her body bears the scars of a fire that broke out in her home two years ago. The young woman almost died during the fire and spent more than a month in the hospital where she underwent several surgical interventions for skin repair.
Although the recovery process has often been difficult, Kilee said she feels lucky, given the circumstances, because she is aware that she could have been more seriously injured.
The girl has always been a 10th-grade athlete and student and said she initially didn’t think she would ever be the same after the fire, but over time, she became more comfortable in her skin.
This made her wear a sleeveless prom dress and not only did her boyfriend and colleagues and friends tell her that she was gorgeous, but she also won the title of “Prom Queen”.
