Arizona Burn Foundation Inc

What it reported doing in 2024

Client care services: an integrated system of care for burn survivors and their families to provide comprehensive services over time at all stages of their journey - crisis, recovery and thrive. See program descriptions below: crisis care: in crisis care the foundation provides families of burn patients the emotional and financial support needed in the midst of their crisis. When a patient is admitted to a burn facility, one of the foundation's staff members can be there to offer support to the family. The foundation offers lodging, transportation services and meal vouchers that are free of charge to the families. These services help alleviate stress and offer much needed hope in those early stages of the crisis. Recovery care: recovery care begins once a burn survivor is discharged from the burn facility. Arizona burn foundation assesses the needs of the burn survivor and their family and creates a care plan appropriate for them. The foundation may provide durable medical equipment, prescription payment, lodging for return clinic visits or financial assistance with rent, utilities or food if this need is not met by other means. For long-term needs, the foundation will refer clients to other agencies, helping a family through the process of completing paperwork and requirements for those agencies. Thrive: youth and family support: the goal of Arizona burn foundation is to help provide the emotional support needed for a burn survivor and their family to thrive. In this stage of the continuum of care model the foundation offers social gatherings where organic peer-to- peer support can take place. A burn injury affects the entire family, so while camps offer peer-to-peer support for burn survivors, these social gatherings create opportunities for the whole family to connect with other families who have gone through similar experiences. The foundation also provides funding to burn survivors to attend burn conferences such as world burn congress and angel faces.
