How We Help Our Community

Thank you so much for helping my child through this difficult time. He loves going to camp and being able to feel free. He said no one there is going to stare at him because they have the same scars. We are beyond blessed to have you in our lives."

When I was a new survivor, I had a lot of emotional damage and was struggling with how to move forward. I now know my purpose in life is to provide support to other survivors, to ensure they are not going through those same struggles alone."

Burn Survivor & Burn Institute Volunteer
The Burn Institute played a huge part of our family by inviting us to attend events and support group sessions where we had the unique opportunity to interact with other burn survivors. The Burn Institute’s guidance helped us face this life-long healing process and will continue to do so."
