| Healing Home Group Launches to Fill a Critical Gap in Burn Survivor RecoveryBy: Healing Home Group launched to support adult burn survivors after hospital discharge. The organization provides access to transitional housing and essential post-discharge services, helping survivors and their families rebuild their lives in a clean, safe, and emotionally supportive environment. Corey's inspiration for starting Healing Home Group came from his own experience. In April 2024, Corey sustained burns over 50% of his body in a car fire. After nearly four months in the hospital, he was told by a social worker to go to a homeless shelter—despite having open wounds and needing specialized care. That experience revealed a critical gap in the system: burn survivors are often left without a safe place to heal once they leave the hospital. "There was nowhere for me to go, and that broke me," said Corey Halstead, Founder of Healing Home Group. "I knew then that something had to change. Survivors need more than a hospital bed—they need a home to recover in, a place where they feel safe, supported, and human again." Key milestones and features of Healing Home Group include: - A live website now launched: www.healinghomegroup.org - A pending 501(c)(3) nonprofit status - A working partnership with the Swedish Medical Center Burn Unit - Ongoing outreach to fire departments and hospital systems - Recent approval for a community fundraiser night with Chipotle - Inspirational music releases supporting the mission on Spotify and Apple Music Healing Home Group is actively seeking donations, community partners, and volunteers. With plans to open its first Healing Home in Colorado, the organization invites the public to get involved and ensure no burn survivor is left behind after discharge.
