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/
Thankfully, our sweet girl functions very well with a low blood count. We couldn’t feel more blessed. There is hope!
Lily loves everyday she has, especially the ones she’s not in the hospital. Lily is the strongest little girl I know, my hero.
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. – William E. Channing
This DBA family is the greatest group of people that I never wanted to have to know, but blessed that I do. The support from the DBA Foundation is immeasurable.
Of all the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure. -Deuteronomy 7:6
This is Jamie…Jamie is 7 years old, from the U.K… and he has DBA…. he’s brave, he’s strong, and above all, he’s always smiling.
Having DBA has taught me to not give up the fight and to do the best that I can. The DBAF has become more than just a source of friends and knowledge, but a family of support through the bad and the good.

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
