Just Like You - Burns as Told by Three Children

Just Like You - Burns as told by three children is an award winning film showcasing the stories of child burn survivors. Kids are curious. They have questions. And, a kid with a burn scar definitely raises questions. When these questions are left unanswered, it can lead to fear of the unknown - that may cause kids to lash out or ostracize classmates. Just Like You is a nonprofit entity that answers kids' questions. JLY films EDUCATE kids about the unknown while working to ILLUMINATE human ties they have to each other allowing them to look past labels and ACCEPT people for who they are.

I was burnt on both my legs . i was making Mac-n-Cheese and i forgot to get out the strainer so , i set the pot on the counter while i got it out . . . then the pot fell & i turned around real quick & slipped & fell in the water . i was in the hospital for two & a half weeks . I have gone to MCBC (Missouri Children's Burn Camp) every year since that happened . as a matter of fact ; i know Peko and he's really cool (:
