Frank
Pinzone
Frank Pinzone contracted a
bacterial infection at the age of two. It resulted in the
loss of skin on his face, partial loss of his intestines and
the amputation of both his legs. He has undergone numerous
skin grafting procedures on his face and body as well as
physical therapy to help in his rehabilitation.
When
Frank was ten years old, the Hope For Tomorrow Foundation
raised funds to help the Amherst, New York boy. In 1995 and
1996, plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Meilman donated his
services at Kenmore Mercy Hospital, near Buffalo, New York
in an effort to improve Frank's facial appearance and to
raise his self esteem to some degree as he entered his
teenage years. |
