BE INSPIRED!!!

It was September 25, 2000. Maricel Apatan was an 11-year old girl in Zamboanga when she was attacked by men on her way to the stream with her uncle.After killing him,they slashed her neck and she had to pretend to be dead so she could run home but along the way, she saw that both her hands were falling off.She cried but she kept running.When she was near her home, Maricel called her mother.Upon seeing her daughter, her mother screamed in terror. She wrapped her bloodied child in a blanket and carried her to the hospital.Here was the problem: From her house to the highway, it was a 12-kilometer walk. It took them 4 hours just to reach the highway.When they arrived in the hospital, the doctors thought Maricel was going to die. But for 5 hours, they operated on her. It took 25 stitches to stitch together the long knife wound in her neck and back.Maricel barely survived. And she lost both of her hands.Ironically, the next day was Maricel’s birthday. She was 12 years old.But tragedy didn’t end there. When they went home, they saw their home was gone. It was ransacked and burned down by the goons.Being very poor, Maricel’s family also didn’t have P50,000 for their hospital bills.But God sent many angels along the way to help them.Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, a distant relative, paid for hospital bills and helped them bring the criminals to court. They were sentenced to prison.Today, she’s staying with the nuns at Regina Rosarii with Sr. Eppie Brasil, O.P.But this is the incredible miracle. Instead of staying down, Maricel kept running.Instead of cursing God why she had no hands, she now uses her wrists in incredible ways that will boggle your mind.Maricel was cited as the most industrious, best in computer, and most courteous in the School for Crippled Children. In 2008, she graduated from a course in Hotel and Restaurant Management. She even received a Gold medal for Arts and Crafts.In 2011, she finished her education to be a chef. Yes, a Chef without hands.Aren't you just inspired by this woman?I am....
