‘Victim - survivor - thriver’ my mentors wrote down on the easel in front of us with the mountain view behind. Michelle first learned this analogy while attending a camp for young burn survivors and since then a vision was formed. A vision of living as a survivor and thriver rather than a victim of what happened to her causing burns to 91% of her body at just two years old.
Michelle shares her survivor story in her book Survivor not Victim, Stories Behind my Scars and the Path to Thriving, while creating a framework of all the elements needed to live a life of as a survivor and thriver, and not fall victim to life circumstances.
From there - Survivor not Victim was formed.
"Survivor not Victim" is committed to raising awareness, providing encouragement and empowerment, and equipping individuals, organizations, and programs to support others in moving from victim to survivor to thriver.
