Nurse Saves Severely Burned Baby in 1977—38 Years Later, a Facebook Photo Stops Her in Her Tracks

When Amanda Scarpinati was just three months old, a tragic accident changed her life forever. She rolled off a sofa onto a steam vaporizer, leaving her with severe burns that would require multiple reconstructive surgeries as she grew up.

In 1977, Amanda was taken to Albany Medical Center, where a compassionate nurse named Sue Berger cared for her. Despite Amanda’s painful injuries, Berger tenderly held the bandaged infant in her arms, offering comfort during a difficult time.

After being discharged, Amanda had no memory of that day but cherished the photos of herself as a baby cradled by Berger. Those images became a symbol of hope and kindness for Amanda, who endured years of bullying because of her scars. Determined to find the nurse who had shown her such compassion, Amanda turned to Facebook decades later, sharing her story and the treasured photos.

Thanks to the power of social media, Berger was quickly identified. The heartwarming reunion took place at the very hospital where their paths had first crossed, and the emotional moment was a testament to the lasting impact of small acts of kindness.

Watch the beautiful reunion between Amanda and Sue in the video below, and feel the love and gratitude that has spanned nearly four decades.

“Before the world knew her name!” This is what Jennifer Lawrence looked like during her first film role that left no one indifferent

Few people know that this actress left school to pursue acting, not knowing that she was on her way to becoming a globally known and incredibly successful star.

Surprisingly, for her first film role, she had to cover her face and body by putting on a tracksuit and a mask representing a sports team. Can you believe it?

At that time, her face was unknown to the public and she had only a modest fan base. It took some time for her to establish a reputation as a sought-after and successful actress.

At first she took on smaller roles in television series, but these did not bring her any fame or notable success. It was her appearance in “X-Men: First Class” that cemented her status as a cinema icon.
