Providence, Catholic Charities partner to help Eastern Washington patients with complex needs for 'as long as it takes'

The woman lived in a large homeless encampment in Spokane, Washington. One winter night, others there tried to burn her out of her tent.

She suffered third-degree burns on her arms, wandered away, and collapsed into a snowbank. After four days and three nights outside, somebody found her. Rescuers took her to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, where, because of frostbite, doctors had to amputate her feet and hands.
