Welcome to the the Burn Survivor Helpline
The purpose of this website is to help people who have been devastated by burns.Whether it was when you were a child , or later in life. Above are links to different sites that offer help. Whether it be a Support chat room, products, stories or something else you maybe looking for. If you are at this site, it is because either you or someone you love has been devastated by burns. I myself did not know, until a few weeks before starting this site, that there was help out there for people like us.
By no means is this meant to get pity from other people. But, just to let people know there is a place we can be safe. Where people really do understand where we have been, and can help us get to where they are. While I was growing up there was not any help like there is today. Back then, they fixed the outside to the best of their ability and that was all. You were on your own for the inner help that you desperately needed. There were no support groups to talk you through life's hidden traps. There was no place to go to feel normal. You were left to survive on your own. So my hope is to help people get the help that I needed so badly.
Now to cover the needs of the families of burn victims. It seems that no matter how hard you try to protect your child, things happen. People know that, children fall, bump their heads and skin their knees. It is inevitable that a child will get hurt. But, when something like a serious burn happens, people stop understanding. But, there are people who have been through this and know what they are feeling and might be able to offer support for their grief.
