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

For Research, For Hope – Commited to helping find a cure for Diamond Blackfan Anemia – Give life, Donate blood.

Of all the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure. -Deuteronomy 7:6

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?

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

Living with DBA is challenging and confusing at times but with the DBAF by your side their information and guidance is PRICELESS.

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.

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.

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