Hottest Girl at Burn Camp

When Krystal Evans was 14, the house that she shared with her mother and little sister burned down. Krystal narrowly escaped by breaking a window and jumping out head-first; suffering burns, smoke inhalation, PTSD – and the unimaginable tragedy of losing her six year-old sister.
