Review for Burned Children Recovery Foundation, Everett, WA, USA
Hello,
My name is Megan and I am the mother of a burn survivor. My sweet baby Zander (2.5 at the time) was in a tragic accident involving bacon grease. To say we have experienced hell is an understatement. The pain our sweet baby has endured is something that was so terrible and soul shattering. I never would have dreamed we would have come through to where we are today. Zander is doing amazing. As of today, he is a normal, wild, fun, sweet 3 year old with superhero booboos. I’m writing you 6 months out from my baby’s accident mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually stronger than we were before. It’s taken a lot of hard-work but with support from Doctors, nurses, family, friends, strangers, and an incredible supporting organization The Burned Children’s Recovery Foundation, we are truly doing so well. This organization has helped in all aspects of our tragedy and healing. From my first post in a burn support group that I joined on Facebook, 15 days post accident while we were in the ICU, a gentleman named Michael Mathis immediately commented on my post and reached out to me, personally offering his foundations help in dealing with our tragedy. I can’t speak highly enough of the support we received from them! Their support helped us when we were broken. They sent us gas and food cards that we use for travel to and from our sons PT and OT appointments that are three times a week an hour drive away. They send us anything we needed for his wound care and scar therapy care. Everything from SPF clothing to lotions, vitamin E oil, emu oil, silicone scar pads. Anything we need for our baby, they order, pay for and overnight us . This support is offered to Zander until he is 18 and I cry typing this because well, that is simply Gods work. This organization takes so much stress off of burn survivors and their families during their most trying times. More importantly they offer community, love, support, guidance, and understanding. They are more than a nonprofit… They are family and will forever have a piece of our hearts!
So much love and gratitude to BCRF,
The Robertsons
