Hi, you are “face to face with Shell”.
I was burned when I was 13 years old and I decided to do this website and YouTube channel to try and help other burn survivors. I also hope that by doing this site and channel, I can help the families and friends of people who have been burned/look different/are disfigured/have an altered body image. I really hope that l can help everyone; whether they look different or not; by highlighting what people who do look different go through and how they can be helped.
MY RECOMMENDED SURVIVOR FORUMS
Detailed below are other forums that I have found helpful for burns survivors, people with a visible difference, an altered body image. I hope you do too. I will add to the list as time goes on, as I discover more help for you.
I have also added one in for MS warriors, in light of my Primary Progressive MS diagnosis.
