A MOTHER who received horrific burns in a caravan fire has spoken of her two-year fight to recover from her injuries.

Kizzy Brockall suffered traumatic burns to 95 per cent of her body when the caravan she was living in went up in smoke in July 2013 in Barton.

After spending five months in a coma and many more in hospital she was finally discharged shortly after Christmas last year.

The 29-year-old is still not entirely sure what happened in the early hours of July 10 that year but thinks she started the fire herself as a result of the depression caused by having her children taken into care.

She said: “I think my depression just got over me and everything just got out of hand and I accidentally started it.

“The last thing I can remember is seeing myself on fire.”

Now Ms Brockall is calling for more support for women like her. She said she wants to make sure nobody else with mental health problems goes through what she has.

The mum-of-four added: “There should be more help for girls with depression. Too many are dying and I could have been one of them.”

Ms Brockall was living in the caravan in the back garden of her sister Nikki’s home in Bernwood Road, which was also damaged when the blaze spread.

Her sister’s partner Carl Richens pulled her from the fire and she was rushed to the John Radcliffe Hospital, before being transferred to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.

Despite doctors telling her family that she only had a 20 per cent chance of surviving the journey, Ms Brockall is slowly getting back to her old self.

Ms Brockall said: “I had to learn to do everything again – walk, talk, eat.

“I have got one thumb and one finger on my left hand and my right hand does not move properly.

“I died three times and the doctors had to bring me back to life.

“I cannot cut my food up and I hate walking around on my own because of the way I look.”

After the fire Ms Brockall’s sister and her family were given support from the community in Barton, including £500 worth of food and essentials when they were forced to move into a temporary home.

Ms Brockall said that although she has not been able to get any support for her depression on the NHS her family and friends have stood by her as she recovered.

She said: “My family gave me a lot of emotional support. They gave me courage and my little girl gives me courage. She is only nine.

“What has got me through it is my friends and family. At the time I pushed everyone away. My head was exploding back then.”

Ms Brockall has recently moved back to Oxford and was able to go on holiday to Spain in September.

She said: “It is difficult for my eldest daughter to get close to me because of the way I look now.

“We recently went to Spain for a week which was a big deal.

“But my depression is still really bad and I get by day by day.

“My friend Channy [Chantelle Rowlands] keeps me out and about and she helps me.

“If people look at me she does not make a big deal out of it. She gives me support.

“People stare and stare again. It is good to have a friend like her.”
