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.

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

Donate blood and stem cells, save a life!!!

Our greatest inspiration!

Good things come in small packages! I may be little, but I’m a fighter – DBA… no contest.

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?

Though in our hearts we desire to be free from DBA, we have learned patience, love, trust, perseverance, compassion, courage, and to cry.

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.

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

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