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.

Our greatest inspiration!

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. – William E. Channing

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.

As parents it is difficult to watch our son go through so much (IVs, pokes, transfusions, ER visits, steriod side effects, tests, ect.), but the resilience and toughness Elton shows each day is what gets us through.

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.

I cheer for a cure for DBA!

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.

DBA is a part of who I am… it does not define me nor will it stand in the way of my hopes and dreams.
