She lost her mother, grandmother, two uncles – and her home. Seven-year-old Miamu Saryon found herself an outcast, with neighbors in Monrovia protesting her return, after she survived the virus that stole everything else.

Ebola has infected at least 13,000 people in West Africa, and killed at least 5,000. If the deadly virus isn't stopped, the CDC estimates that up to 1.4 million people could be infected by the end of January 2015.
