It happens in an instant, an inopportune moment of distraction or carelessness. It can be the result of an innocent oversight, or a deliberate and malicious act. However it occurs, the event will change the course of a child’s life forever.
When they are severely burned, children undergo dramatic physical and emotional changes. The family will be challenged in ways they never could have anticipated. And only once initial medical intervention has taken place does the long road to recovery really begin.
That’s where the Children’s Burn Foundation fits in. We define our role as giving new hope. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting children who have been severely burned, and their families, and to preventing other children from being burned in the future.
