Celia Belt
Celia Belt is a burn survivor, a leader, mother and modern-day warrior who has managed to overcome a life-long injury and stay remarkably intact. She founded The Moonlight Fund and devoted herself to helping burn survivors deal with their accidents, and return to productive lives. Close to 5000 burn survivors and their families have been helped through the Moonlight Fund. A burn injury is a lifelong journey and it affects people in every aspect of their lives. Too many times burn survivors isolate, fall into depression and in many cases do not make it. Celia’s purpose is to show them, and anyone else that has experienced a tragedy, that a normal, successful and happy life is possible after an accident. She has lived through it and has graciously emerged from the battle. Celia wants her story to help them see that the battle can be won and that scars, both emotional and physical, can be proud badges of struggles conquered, goals achieved and a life well-lived.
