One of the greatest barriers providing adequate treatment of burn injuries is the lack of financial resources. There is a close correlation between the occurrence of burn injuries and poverty.
For burn injured patients, early treatment is crucial as it reduces the risk of infections, septicemia and amputations as well as reducing long term complications such as the formation of scar tissue and contractions.
The harsh reality is that most often parents of children with burn injuries do not have the economic resources to help their children.
Care4Burn believes that together we can make a difference and even with few resources we can help many. By sponsoring children whose families cannot afford surgery, we work together to make a difference for the individual child.
