About Changed By Fire...
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
At Changed by Fire, we walk alongside burn survivors and their families as they navigate life after a burn injury. We know that true healing goes far beyond the physical, which is why we focus on emotional, psychological, and social well-being through holistic and alternative healing modalities, programs and events like the Arizona Walk Of Courage.
Every recovery journey is different. No two burn injuries are the same, and treatment plans can shift daily in the early stages of recovery. Even after physical wounds have healed, survivors and their loved ones often face ongoing emotional and social challenges.
We believe families play a powerful role in this journey. By staying informed, advocating for their loved ones, and understanding complementary healing options, families can help build the foundation for lasting recovery—working hand in hand with the incredible care teams at local burn centers.

VISION
STATEMENT
Changed by Fire focuses on advocating for burn survivors, their families, and the medical professionals who care for them—creating awareness and building a community of inclusion, love, and healing.
We are changing the world, one burn survivor at a time. Through our continued efforts to connect with and support burn survivors, their families, and the medical professionals who care for them, we are making a difference in the lives of those affected by burn injuries.
At Changed by Fire, we believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and loved—and that no one should ever be left behind. We are committed to growing the AZ Walk of Courage, expanding our outreach, hosting fundraising events like our Backyard Concert, and increasing the number of survivors and families we assist each year as we work toward this vision becoming a reality.
