Burn Survivors of New England is committed to supporting, empowering, and building active and engaged lives of burn survivors and their families.
At Burn Survivors of New England (BSONE), we’re more than just a non-profit organization – we’re a community dedicated to lighting the way forward for burn survivors and their families. Based in Massachusetts, we are committed to providing unwavering support and empowerment as you craft a life that’s not just active, but truly engaged.
Our personalized approach is the heartbeat of BSONE. We believe in forging meaningful connections with burn survivors, families, healthcare professionals, and our local fire community – because it’s through these relationships that effective support and resources truly flourish.
By raising awareness, offering education, and providing support, we’re here to guide you every step of the way on your journey to healing and resilience. Join us in our mission to create a supportive network that not only uplifts, but inspires a life beyond survival.
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.
