A photo of a high school football is making the rounds on social media and his story is inspiring people all over the world.
This is Taquarius Wair.
Janaye Johnson of Janaye Johnson Photography met Wair while working a football game. She was so inspired by his story she asked if she could photograph him and share his story with the world.
This is what she wrote:
"Taquarius Wair (TQ) is a senior at North high school. When he was 4 years old he woke up to his mothers voice yelling to him and trying to guide him through a smoke and fire-filled bedroom.
He made it out of the house to safety, but he then went back into the burning house. Although he can't quite remember why he went back, he believes he may have been trying to help save his older sister.
TQ, his mother and two siblings made it out, but the fire claimed the life of his older sister that night.
TQ suffered 3rd degree burns over 55% of his body, with some of the burns going to the bone. The doctors gave him a 20% chance of survival. He spent over 4 months in the hospital, one of which he was comatose. He endured countless surgeries and skin grafts and ended up losing much of his left hand and foot in the fire - but he's never let that slow him down.

God Bless him...
Great story, I hope he’s successful
When people are burned this bad their sweat glands die off and they aren't able to sweat so playing sports is difficult because they won't be able to sweat and cool off.
What an inspiration this young man is.Praying for many of Gods blessings for him😊
