ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Celia Belt is the founder of the Moonlight Fund Inc., a non-profit dedicated to providing financial, emotional, and in-kind assistance to burn and blast survivors and their families. Since its founding in 1998, the Moonlight Fund has helped tens of thousands of people across the U.S. with medical expenses, retreats, and ongoing support of all kinds.
Belt's first book, Remarkably Intact, was chosen as the best biography/autobiography at the Indie Reader Discovery Awards in 2019. Her second book, Silent Warrior: One Woman's Triumph over Traumatic Brain Injury, is an account of her accident, in which she sustained a traumatic brain injury. It’s a must-have for anyone experiencing a life-altering injury or for those supporting someone in need of the best medical outcomes in this complex world of options available to us.
Belt’s third book, My ValHalla: Angels Are No Strangers to Chains, is the true tale of how she survived the betrayal of those she loved the most: a family member and a select group of burn survivors whom she had provided care for. It is the full account of a year-long struggle she endured to get her name, her assets, and her freedom back from those who ravaged her life and the lives of her family. Her story is one of immense pain, yet one of survival. As with all of her books, it’s not her story: it’s yours; she simply had the opportunity to tell it.
Celia is also a public speaker, addressing topics that are near her heart. Burn injuries, military issues, civil rights, and education for women. She has spoken at the Pentagon and a vast number of venues nationwide.
In Each of Us - Resides the Wolf
It’s the Wolf You Feed… The Wolf of Giving, Caring, Kindness, and Benevolence. Or you can feed the Wolf of Loathing, Greed, Theft, Hate, Cruelty, & Ridicule.
Which Will You Feed?
"My mission is to let fellow burn survivors know they are not alone. I want to offer a hug, a smile, and a heart that cares. It is crucial to educate the public about the needs of burn survivors and their families, as well as the lack of services available to them. We are here to care for burn survivors, their families, and those who have lost a loved one to a burn injury." ~ Celia Belt, co-Founder, Moonlight Fund, Inc.
