Overview
Mission
Provide burn survivors support and care (including emotional/spiritual support) so patients can overcome and live a beautiful life beyond their scars. Burn injury is a tragedy unlike any other. Rehabilitation happens simultaneously on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. After Cody Byrns sustained and recovered from his severe burn injuries, he realized the need of the burn survivor community, and the costs involved with helping patients heal not just physically but emotionally too. This led him to begin his own 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, which sponsors burn survivors from around the country to receive the proper care and guidance needed, on their journey to thrive with a life-long injury. Cody looks at this with the mindset of, “I’m blessed to be a blessing,” and he’s witnessed first-hand how these funds and your support ca.
The Cody Byrns Foundation for Burn Survivors (operating under Cody Byrns Ministries, Inc., a 501(c)(3)) provides burn survivors support that addresses rehabilitation on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. The Foundation facilitates inspiration and motivation through opportunities such as attending burn camps and conferences with other burn survivors, helping patients “overcome and live a beautiful life beyond their scars.”
