CHERUBS mission is solely to help babies born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and their families through research, awareness and support services. For 16 years we have provided free services to make the journey of CDH a little easier for 1000's of families around the world.
CHERUBS
is a public 501(c)III non-profit organization run by caring parents, grandparents and survivors with a medical advisory committee composed of the leaders of CDH Research. Our members and volunteers have hearts of gold and work as a team putting the big picture of helping all CDH babies first.
We are run as a charity - with the heart of a charity. All donations go to further our services, all of our services and project go to help these babies. We never trademark or copyright, we promote CDH Awareness rather than our own branding, we have never spent a penny in legal fees, we work with other charities and organizations, we support all families and have helped many other CDH charities get started directly and indirectly. Our focus is the always, always the babies and families.
It is this open-hearted outlook and determination that has made us the world's first, largest and most active CDH charity and that has made us successful in helping families.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I am the President and Founder, founding the charity in 1995 when my own CDH child was 2 years old. I was alone in dealing with CDH and didn't want any other parent to go through this without information and support. CHERUBS is named for all children lost to CDH, is not created in honor/memory of any specific child and was created on a foundation of compassion, kindness and sincere desire to help others.
