Larisa, Rachel, and Bethany are three teens who’ve suffered serious burns to more than 65 percent of their bodies. As part of the Angel Faces Program, they traveled to S.D. for a dinner and fundraiser at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe. Founded by San Diegan Lesia Cartelli, Angel Faces provides healing retreats to inspire adolescent girls with severe facial disfigurement to achieve their optimal potential, and develop meaningful relationships for themselves, their families, and their communities.
