Just Like You – I Care for a Child Burn Survivor is a short documentary that centers the voices of caregivers navigating life after a child’s burn injury.
Through honest, intimate storytelling, parents of child burn survivors share what it feels like to care for a child in the aftermath of trauma—grappling with fear, guilt, anger, uncertainty, and profound love. They speak openly about the emotional toll of caregiving, the challenges of supporting healing, and the quiet strength required to move forward when life has fundamentally changed.
The film is designed to reassure caregivers that they are not alone, and that their experiences—often unseen—are shared by others walking the same path.
The film is woven together with an understated, reflective score featuring music by Carol Duboc and “Heal Over” by Grammy-nominated artist K.T. Tunstall, reinforcing the film’s tone of vulnerability, compassion, and resilience.
Just Like You – Care helps viewers better understand the emotional landscape surrounding pediatric burn recovery and the vital role caregivers play in healing—not just physically, but emotionally and socially.
