| The Northern California Burn Foundation |
........was created in 1986 by doctors, burn unit nurses, and firefighters, desiring to have an organization that could help burn survivors once they had left the hospital. Since then we have had 14 consecutive camps for burn surviving children in the summer time. We keep busy during the rest of the year by focusing on the prevention aspect in the education department. When we receive calls from those who have problems we try to assist them, or direct them to those that are able to. For example when we got a call about a family that needed help because the woman burned their house down accidentally while topping off a generator with gasoline while it was still running. We went with the family and helped by clothing, and other supplies that they needed. If someone needs money for fuel to take a burn survivor to the hospital in Sacramento we will help pay for the gas. There are all kinds of ways we will try to assist those in need during the year. We do not help in the area of medical bills. For more information:

| The University of California-Davis Regional Burn Center |
The UC-Davis Regional Burn Center, located
in Sacramento, California, supports a very active monthly meeting where
burn-injured survivors, family and their significant others have a safe
place to discuss issues and raise questions related to their injury, recovery
and rehabilitation. Over the past year we have opened our invitation to
survivors of necrotizing fasciitis and their families, as we recognize
they travel much of the same recovery route as burn survivors.
