“Leap of Faith Foundation, Inc. is committed to engaging the adolescent burn victim community while participating in life enrichment activities that embrace their strengths, weaknesses, personal, and vocational goals on the road to recovery and life thereafter.”

When you are willing to invest in yourself…

In 1998, Julissa K. Gachett from Whiteville, North Carolina, experienced a house fire that resulted in her family to lose everything. Whereas she also suffered from burns to over 93% of her body and endured numerous surgeries within her recovery and rehabilitation…

…all it takes is a “Leap of Faith.”

Understanding the trials and tribulations that result from such a catastrophe, she decided to create a foundation that would focus on helping adolescent burn victims realize there is always a brighter side to every situation.
