Candace Gossett shares a happy moment with her son Jesse, 11, in front of an attentive audience at Thursday’s weekly luncheon of The Rotary Club of McMinnville. Jesse, who was burned on over 25 percent of his body in a house fire when he was four months old, is one of the tens of thousands of children who have benefited from highly specialized care at Monroe Carrell Jr. Children’s Hospital.
Jesse was four months old when a disastrous fire struck his home. Today, at age 11, he’s healthy and adventurous, and determined to be a policeman or firefighter when he grows up.
