The needs of burn survivors and their families are great.
In addition to the human loss and suffering from a burn injury, often homes and personal belongings are destroyed as a result of fire and even jobs are lost due to extended medical treatment. What's more, many burn patients are uninsured or on government assistance, encumbering them and their families financially when ongoing treatment, such as physical therapy or psychological counseling, is needed the most.
