A Legacy of Strength: George Pessotti & The Mission of Burn Survivors of New England.

Burn recovery is more than physical healing—it’s about rebuilding life with strength, support, and hope. George Pessotti, our Co-Founder, shares why this mission matters.

For decades, George has dedicated himself to helping burn survivors and their families navigate the challenges of recovery. Through peer support, education, and advocacy, Burn Survivors of New England provides a vital community where survivors can find connection, understanding, and encouragement.

Whether you are a survivor, a loved one, or a potential sponsor, we invite you to watch and see the impact of our work. Your support helps us continue to bring hope, healing, and strength to those who need it most.
