Yasmin Eleby from Houston, Texas promised herself when she was much younger that if she hit 40 and wasn't married, she would marry herself.

Incredible recovery of girl, 16, who lost her hair, fingertips and half of her skin in freak home explosion 2 months ago

On November 10th 2014, 16 year old Kilee Brookbank returned to her home in Georgetown, Ohio and perceived a strange odour. To combat the odour, Kilee lit a candle and that was when her life changed forever. The house immediately exploded and she was engulfed in flames that razed off 25% of her skin. The freak explosion burned off her finger tips, hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and obliterated the skin from her arms, back, legs, face, and stomach with third-degree burns.

The fire was so aggressive it went right to the fat beneath her skin, leaving her hands milk-bottle white

Her mother and stepfather were at work when the house exploded and Kilee ran out the half destroyed walls into the street on fire. Her neighbours began throwing buckets of water on her as they made efforts to call her parents. She was rushed to a helipad with her mother then flown to Cincinnati Children's Hospital 20 minutes away, then transferred to the specialist unit at Shriner's down the road where her father met them.
