Woman saves 3 relatives from Ebola!! by Vern Blossfeld

Fatu Kekula (pictured above)
Summary: 22-year-old Fatu Kekula nursed her entire family through Ebola. She took care of her father, mother, sister and cousin; feeding them, cleaning them, and giving them their medication. Fatu stayed healthy through all of it, which is significant because over 300 professional health care workers have become infected with Ebola, even with their big protective white space suits on. Fatu, who's in her final year of nursing school, invented her own equipment, which is now being used by international aid workers. Her "trash bag method" is also being taught to other West Africans who can't get into hospitals, and don't have any equipment of their own. Also, Fatu was able to save three of her four relatives, a 75% survival rate. The Ebola virus itself has a 70% survival rate.The cousin she lost to Ebola was 14 year old Alfred Winnie. Her father is working to find a scholarship for Fatu, so that she can finish nursing school.
Analysis: This woman is amazing!! To have the bravery and skill she did in a time of panic over the Ebola virus is awesome. And the fact that she was able to rid 75% of her family of a disease that kills 70% of its victims all while avoiding infection, is stunning. Still, she did lose a family member, and I hope that she and her family feel better soon. It's never easy to lose someone, especially someone she fought very hard to protect, and someone so young. I also hope her father finds a scholarship for Fatu,so that she can finish nursing school. She's going to be an amazing nurse!!!
