About the Burned Children Recovery Foundation

The Burned Children Recovery Foundation is a non-profit organization of dedicated staff and caring volunteers who are committed to effectively supporting burn children survivors and their families during the rehabilitation process. To date we have assisted more than 95,000 children, helping them to heal and go on to lead full and productive lives.

There are thousands of children burn survivors that come to the Burned Children Recovery Foundation each year. They are badly scarred and emotionally and physically in need of the BCRF's support. Many have lost fingers, ears, faces and their spirit to live. But no matter how severe or slight their burn scars are, all require assistance in making difficult changes from being a victim to a survivor and a well adjusted, thriving member of society. The children and their families need emotional and spiritual support after burns/scars have changed their lives forever.

We provide counseling and financial aid to the child and their family, because after they leave the hospital many mistakes are made by the parents. This will slow down the recovery of the child or turn the child into a recluse, hidden from the world. This is why our services are so important to the recovery of the child.

Burns are one of the most painful injuries to recover from. We offer support and encouragement during and after hospitalization. When does the healing start? Reconstructive surgery will play a role in the child's overall post burn restoration process, but it is the area on the body affected and the percentage of total burned tissue that will play the largest role in how fast they will recover.
