Around the time Savannah Fulkerson turned 4, she became unable to spend any length of time outdoors. “We’d be outside about 20 minutes or so … she’d say, ‘I burn!’” recalled Savannah’s mother Andrea Fulkerson. Fulkerson remembers Savannah in so much pain she had “uncontrollable screaming like she got hit by a car.”

shes been quarantined her whole life, respect.

She should be a gamer...we dont leave our rooms

She is so mature for her age. She understands that the kids that make fun of her isn’t personal, it’s just because they’re to immature to understand. She is very outspoken and kind. My respect for her really reached its peak when she said that other kids have it way worse than her. Not many kids understand that. I see very bright things in her future.
