Same journey, different paths. Bound together by the same heartaches, triumphs, and hope for a cure. That’s DBA Family!
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.
DBA is hard but it’s my child’s life. I have to teach him how to live life with it. I will advocate and help find a cure. The DBAF is helping us improve his life.
Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. Just because you have a warning doesn’t make you different than anyone else. It doesn’t make a difference in how you live each day.
While I know the road will not always be without struggle, we will continue to learn more through research and the determination of the amazing DBA community.
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?
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.
Some days are good, others not so good. Please help find a cure for our family.
Thankfully, our sweet girl functions very well with a low blood count. We couldn’t feel more blessed. There is hope!
