A Real Story of

Josh's Story
A Child Burn Survivor's Journey

Saturday, November 26, 2016. When I was twelve years old, I was camping with my dad, and accidentally poured gasoline instead of lighter fluid on a campfire. It caused the fire to explode, and I immediately caught on fire. I panicked, and started running, but thankfully someone had the presence of mind to wrap me in a blanket and tackle me to the ground.

You can help Josh, and children like him, by donating to our camp program.
