Oh… Camp Sunshine… we are so very grateful! Through the generosity and compassion of our friends at Camp Sunshine, DBA families and patients from around the world met in Casco, Maine from July 9-14, 2017. Our eleventh family meeting was a huge success! As presentations are received and approved by the presenters, they will be posted to our website here: https://dbafoundation.org/families/camp-sunshine/
This is David at 1 month old weighing almost 2 pounds. DBA changed our paths in life, but I will ALWAYS be there to hold his hand for he holds my heart.
Of all the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure. -Deuteronomy 7:6
Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.
And when the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. BUT…one thing is certain: When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in!

Just wanted to say thank you. Dawn and The Board at DBAF – you are all amazing, bringing the doctors and researchers all in to one room. The medical team and researchers gave such informative talks and taught us so much – and were great fun too!The research is getting there, we have just got to keep funding it. The Yellow Shirts and staff at camp, what wonderful humans. The children had a ball! Nancy, how you manage to get a lot of strangers in a room and before you know it its a family! Truly thankful.
Best week of our lives. xx
