This is a wonderful project, I can't express how needed this video is. I was in a burn unit and next to my room was a children's room and I wondered how I, an adult, had difficulty and pain with my burn and surgery, how could a child possibly even begin to deal with these physical and emotional feeling. Even my own children became disturbed by the sight of my injury and I see the reaction some of their friends have given to my burn site. Keep up this project please, I'd love to help page links!

Wow I can relate to the boys story mines almost the same I was 4 years old to me and my brother were playing with a lighter and he did a design on his shirt so I wanted to do the same but mine was highly flammable so it ingulped me instantly I ran up to my moms room and she put me out with her covers I was in the hospital for 6+ months had 3 fingers amputated and suffered 3rd and 4 the % burns over my whole torsho from bottom of my ears to my belly bottom I grew up getting mad surgurise I remember the first time I woke up in so much pain I couldn't move I wanted to die I tryed to kill my self a couple times. I know what it feels like going to public school in a full body cast and special suits I grew up rough but it made me who I am I been through a lot I mean I am so strong now because of what I had to go through growing up I felt so alone and different but after awhile I started to adapt and ignore certain. Things I'm 20 now trust me the docs said I would never have full function again but I see myself the same as errybody else I do more than most because I had to fend for myself growing up my dad was always in and out of jail and my mom had 3 other kids to feed while living on welfare basically I grew up and got in trouble with the law did a year in prison that was so hard but it made me so strong mentally God told me he said its just something I had to show you now I'm a christian trying to help others overcome I know what its like to struggle and have nothing but I also know that God has got me here for a reason I'm testifying for a reason because this is my life so no matter how hard it gets just think it could always be worst I love y'all god bless

It's really touching, but in a good way. I know that my friend got burned by a motorcycle,but it wasn't major.
I was burned on my face
