“LAB created a safe and welcoming space for me as a burn survivor. Before joining LAB, I was not comfortable with strangers’ stares or letting anyone get to know the vulnerable part of me, my stories and my scars. But after getting to know people in the burn community through LAB, it led me to this new reality that I am not different than anyone else in this world and I am a lovable person with or without scars. I feel more open towards others and things in general and absolutely happier. Working with a group of volunteers that care about a cause that is bigger than oneself is also inspirational, which keeps me growing personally and professionally in my own life.”

“Joining LAB, has truly added a significant sense of community to my life, filling a void that emerged, especially after the isolating period of COVID. The first LAB event I attended made a lasting impression, the community radiated love and support. Feeling surrounded by supportive, caring individuals has significantly impacted my mental health and overall well-being. The community plays a crucial role for individuals who have experienced burn trauma. There is a noticeable lack of ongoing support post-event that exists. This highlights the importance of a community that understands, shares, and encourages everyone through their experiences. It provides a vital space for healing and empowers individuals collectively toward healing and recovery.”
