Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home cooking fires in the U.S. As you prepare your favorite holiday dishes, our burn care professionals encourage you to take a few simple steps to stay safe from scalds and kitchen injuries.

Here are a few quick tips to keep little ones safe:

🍳 Use the back burners and turn pot and pan handles inward so they are harder for children to reach.
🥘 Avoid holding children while cooking or carrying hot food.
🍽️ Keep kitchen appliances and their cords out of reach.
🫕 Do not place hot dishes on table cloths that children can pull down.

When Santvana was nearly 7 years old, a gas explosion claimed the lives of her parents and younger brother — and left her as the only survivor. She sustained burns on over 60% of her body and spent years recovering, eventually being placed in an orphanage in India.

But her story didn’t end there.

In 2017, Jasmin, a single mother from the United States, saw Santvana’s photo and felt an immediate connection. She adopted Santvana, brought her home, and helped her begin a new chapter filled with healing and love. The adjustment was huge: new country, new family, new languages, and school for the very first time. Jasmin even changed her own last name to Santvana’s original family name, honoring Santvana’s biological family and the bond they share.

When Santvana first came to Shriners Children’s Texas in 2018, her left wrist was so contracted from her burns that she couldn’t use her hand. Today, after over 20 surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy, she plays the violin in her high school orchestra. Santvana has faced every challenge with determination, and is now preparing for college. 👏

Today is National Rural Health Day, and we are shining a light on our San Angelo Outreach Clinic. ✨

Earlier this year, Shriners Children’s Texas launched a new quarterly outreach clinic in partnership with Shannon Health. This clinic brings our pediatric orthopedic team to West Texas, so children can receive specialized orthopedic care right in their own community. It saves families hours of travel time and reduces the financial burden that often comes with long distance medical care. 🚙

By meeting families where they are and offering convenient access to specialty orthopedic services, we are supporting children across Texas and helping more patients receive the care they need with fewer barriers. 💗

We are so proud of Nate! 👏

This past weekend, our patient ambassador Nate and his parents spoke at the Official Visit of Supreme Queen Kathy Walliker with the Daughters of the Nile – Khem Temple No. 85 in Jacksonville, Florida.

True to form, Nate won the room over with jokes and shared that his favorite things at Shriners Children's Texas are:

✨ the playroom
✨ the child life team
✨ …and the friends he’s made among the staff

On Christmas Eve in 2022, at 5 years old, Nate sustained burns on over 68% of his body after a gasoline explosion in his backyard. He lost his dominant left hand and most of the fingers on his right hand. After three weeks in a Florida ICU, he was flown to Shriners Children’s Texas, where he spent over six months undergoing surgeries and therapies before returning home to Florida.

“The staff at Shriners goes out of their way to make Nate comfortable,” said Katelyn, Nate’s mom. “Shriners has been so warm and comforting, it has become a home away from home.” ♥️

It was a beautiful day to trot for love! ☀️

Thank you to our generous sponsors, volunteers, and community for joining us. With over $85,000 raised for Shriners Children's Texas, every trotter made a difference! 🙌

Together we strolled a mile through Galveston’s historic East end, followed by a festive carnival for all. Our hearts are full thanks to the amazing people who make moments like these possible. ♥️

Look at Kechi Okwuchi go! 👏 We’re so proud of our patient alumna who took part in the 2025 World Burn Congress session.
