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.

With out the DBAF I would not be connected to others that have Diamond Blackfan Anemia. The DBAF has saved my life by educating me on what I need to do to combat this rare illness.

He’s living on borrowed blood and we take one day at a time.

I stand DBA Strong with the help of my family, friends, and DBA friends.

DBA has forever changed our lives, but we will persevere until we find a cure.

It has been seven years since DBA became part of our vocabulary. Our son’s diagnosis brought confusion, apprehension and despair. The discovery of DBAF is a stroke of serendipity. While even more tears were shed, these are now mingled with knowledge, understanding and, more significantly, hope. It will be through research that our son will be able to secure a brighter future.

I am and always will be special. I am and always will be DBA Strong!

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.

Thank you DBAF for being there for us as we continue on this journey.

Some days are good, others not so good. Please help find a cure for our family.
