DBA has taught us many things – Never give up – Be grateful for the strength to fight the fight and always cherish the arms we rest upon for support.

Sometimes I feel like the odd one out, restricted by DBA. I just have to keep reminding myself that God wouldn’t bless me with this challenge if He didn’t think I could handle it. I don’t let DBA define me, I try to defy DBA.

With something so rare, our biggest fear was that our son would battle DBA alone, he never does. Thank you DBA Foundation!

It’s not fun, but I am a tough cookie.

Living with DBA is the hardest, yet most fulfilling, aspect of our lives. Audrey is the absolute love of our lives and we are thankful everyday for her.

Same journey, different paths. Bound together by the same heartaches, triumphs, and hope for a cure. That’s DBA Family!

Living with DBA has had its ups and downs, but with all the love and support we have gotten from our family and friends, we have been able to provide our daughter with the best life possible.

We are not the first to say this and we will not be the last, the DBAF has saved our child’s life. I cringe at the thought of what her care would be had we not met the DBAF.

We are hopeful that a cure will be discovered soon so that our son doesn’t have to endure pokes and disruptions and can feel good all the time – isn’t that what every child deserves?

Thankfully, our sweet girl functions very well with a low blood count. We couldn’t feel more blessed. There is hope!
