Salamanders Young Burn Survivors is proud to have received these compliments
You have a very impressive site. I now know the difference between a
burn victim and a burn survivor, a valuable lesson.

This is an excellent site to teach children and adults about the horrors
of playing with fire. The site is informative and helpful for parents and
young people. Some parents may object to the subject matter of this site,
but we believe that it handles the topics in a responsible and educational
manner.

Just had a look at your web page. I think it's really good and I like
the idea of all the info and I really got a lot of info off the story of
Quinn's accident. I almost could feel the pain. I think he is really brave
to be able to walk round and handle all the names he has been called. I
don't think I could do that. I would of just have stayed in for the rest
of my life and never shown my face out in the streets again. I also think
Paul is very brave. I can understand now why friendship is so important
sometimes... Sometimes more than you think, because you never know what
could happen.

personally.]
Although I was surfing the net looking for information and resources for
the burns course that I am currently studying I was really pleased to come
across a site dedicated to young burns survivors. I really wish there had
been such resources when I was growing up. I am now in my late twenties
and was burnt 25 years ago when I was 3. I trained as a nurse to
specifically work in burns as a way of putting back a little of the care
that I received as a patient. The site has been both informative from a
professional point of view but it has also helped me on a personal level.
I have a child of my own and a fantastic partner who has never made an
issue of my scarring! I no longer think why me? Because it doesn't matter
the important thing is I survived and have gone on to lead a fulfilling
and successful life. It took me a long time to learn how to just be me and
that I did not need to be perfect in every way as a way of making up for
not being physically perfect. It is a marvellous site. Keep up the good
work.

Burn Survivor story.]
I'm a student nurse and have had experience nursing people with
traumatic burns. This website may help people to understand about burns
and speak to real people who are going through or have been through
similar experiences.
~ Jamie
Thanks for putting such a informative and supportive site together... I
wish I had been able to find it last year when we were new to this.
~ Vicki Knopf [Vicki Knopf is the mother of a
young burn survivor.]
Your website is a public service that fills an important gap, and it's
very professional-looking too.

I am a serving Fire Fighter at Slough Fire station in Berkshire (Blue
watch). I have just found your web site whilst browsing the internet and I
thought that I would just drop you a line to say that I think it is
fantastic that web sites like this are around to help young people. Keep
up the good work.
~ Julian May
Great web site.
