Family Recovery Program

Helping Families Heal Together.

Practical resources, guidance, and community connections that support the entire household throughout the recovery journey — free of charge.

Planned program — in development

The Family Recovery Program is not operating yet. This page describes what we are designing. Engine of Hope is launching in South Carolina with the Recovery Box Program and emergency resource referrals; additional programs will be introduced as funding, trained volunteers, qualified partners, and proper safeguards become available.

A fire or burn injury impacts more than one person — it affects parents, children, spouses, caregivers, and loved ones. Recovery can be overwhelming as families work to replace essentials, adjust to new routines, and support one another through emotional and physical challenges.

The Family Recovery Program is designed to help families regain stability by providing practical resources, guidance, and connections that support the entire household throughout the recovery journey.

Services are provided free of charge to eligible recipients through the generosity of our donors, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners.

How the Program Works

A family-centered process built around whole-household recovery.

Step 1

Request or Referral

A family, hospital, fire department, burn center, social worker, school, or community partner submits a request.

Step 2

Family Assessment

Our team works with the household to understand immediate challenges, family size, and available support systems.

Step 3

Personalized Support

We coordinate available Engine of Hope programs and trusted community resources based on each family's unique situation.

Step 4

Continued Recovery

As recovery progresses, we continue providing guidance, referrals, and encouragement whenever possible.
