Briana Meldrum is the 18 year old sister of young burns survivor Jack Dragicevich. She is currently in her first year of her Bachelor of Communications degree at Auckland University of Technology, hoping to pursue her dream to one day become a Journalist.  For one of her assignments this year, she was required to film a journalistic interview on someone whom she found inspiring (video above).

Briana chose to use her brother Jack and how his life has been impacted by burns as she is aware that hot water burns are not as commonly talked about as they should be.

Briana was 9 at the time of Jack’s accident and the event impacted her a lot. She was so devastated by what had happened by her brother and spent almost all her free time in his hospital room playing games with him to cheer him up. Since Jack’s accident Briana has volunteered her time to the Burns Support Group by attending fundraisers as well as helping out with the children at the annual Camp Awhi.

A letter from Jack who attended Camp Susquehana:

I had the time of my life at camp in America, meeting all the other amazing burn survivors and the staff. I like how the camp was split into groups and it was easier to work with and that the groups were in the same age groups. I liked how the camp had heaps of different activities and all the kids had a go at them, also that there was not a bunch of kids having to wait their turns because of the group layouts it was awesome. I liked that no parents were at the camp and the kids seemed more involved it was good the see them happy. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A HUGE THANK YOU TO Carrie she was wonderful and I think we can both say we had a blast!!!!

Thank you so much NZ Burn Support with out you I would have never experienced such an awesome opportunity and will never forget my experience and I look forward to sharing my story with the other kids from our camps here.

I would also like to add I am still in contact with my friends from the camp and one is looking at saving to come to NZ for a visit.  


Kind regards,
Jack Kelly
