Burn Survivors Throughout The World Colorado Office
By: Michael Appleman, CEO
Burn Survivors Throughout The World, Inc., know from this point on as BSTTW, is very happy to inform the public that BSTTW is continuing to have an office in Colorado. Julie Olinger, who was the Director of the BSTTW Colorado Office stated that if she did not remain the
BSTTW board of directors Secretary she would not remain as the Director in Colorado. Ms. Olinger also stated that she and her husband Dale would not continue to donate the Colorado office space. The BSTTW board of directors felt that they had not choice but to vote Ms. Olinger off the board of directors and the position at the BSTTW Colorado Office. The BSTTW board of directors felt that Ms. Olinger and her husband should not have control of the board of directors. If they are not willing to work together as a team then the board of directors felt that Ms. Olinger and her husband Dale Olinger were not team players and it would be best for BSTTW that we found a team ball player who would work together with the nonprofit organization and look at for the best of the organization and the burn survivor community.

BSTTW is proud to announce that Jeremiah Thurston, a burn survivor and BSTTW Volunteer was very happy to become the Assistant Director of the BSTTW Colorado Office and also offered to donate the office space that BSTTW needed in Colorado. Jeremiah suffered a severe burn injury while he was working. After a lot of surgeries, rehabilitation and emotional support Jeremiah found the strength to go back to work and face the demos. He went back to the same job and is currently happy working and being a burn survivor. Jeremiah wants to use the strength he found though his
family, himself and God to help other burn survivors.

Jeremiah is looking forward to offering his assistance not only in Colorado but in any way possible for BSTTW and the burn survivor community. He is looking into starting a support group both online and in his community. Jeremiah is willing to offer one on one support in order to give what he needed when he was recovering from his burn injury. Jeremiah understands that without that support an individual who suffers a burn injury will have a very difficult time recovering both physically and emotionally.
