Salamanders Young Burn Survivors > Your Own Stories

If you are a burn survivor, then you know how it feels ..... as if you're the only one it ever happened to ..... as if no-one else can understand what you're going through. It can help a lot to learn about other burn survivors; about what happened to them, and how they feel about it.

This part of our site is where burn survivors can help each other by sharing their stories and feelings.

Thank you all for sharing your stories!

Please help us to fill this page!

I regularly get emails from people (usually mothers of new burn survivors) who want to know why there aren't more stories of young burn survivors on this site, but very few people are willing to tell their own story.

Are you one of the few who are brave enough to help others by sharing your story with them?

To get your own page on this site, all you have to do is contact me (Sylvia) and tell me what you want to share. You can send me pictures, drawings, poems, ..... anything you want. I will make the web-page for you.
