Mission: CDH Stars and Angels is a nonprofit patient advocacy organization based in Houston, Texas that offers a range of support services nationwide to families of children born with the birth defect Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). We award small grants to families experiencing CDH to cover medical treatments and related travel, and, when needed, funeral expenses. We also provide care packages to CDH-affected families, raise awareness of the condition, and advocate for patient-centered research in partnership with organizations whose goals align with ours. We aim to ease the burdens of CDH by offering both financial and emotional support to the families we serve, making an uncomfortable journey as comfortable as possible while celebrating our little stars and angels. We are proudly partnered with the following leading organizations that assist us in providing lodging, infant burial gowns, research that is patient-centered, funeral expense assistance, and help with care packages: - ShareTruck1 - Children's Sunshine Foundation - Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute -The Brave Beanie Project

My son, Gus, was born with LCDH in 2019. This organization personally gave me and my family tons of emotional support while going through NICU life with Gus, as well as helpful contact resources once we got home and guidance through their own personal experiences and knowledge of CDH.

My son, August, was born with LCDH on October 2, 2019. We were originally told a possible CDH diagnosis at 35 weeks pregnant and it was then that me and my husband joined this page and group on Facebook. I couldn't be more grateful for everyone involved in making this organization and helping to keep it running. They have been more than helpful in everything we have ever needed during this journey!

This group has been my support (mentally/financial as well as medically) ever since we joined. The organization provided us with the owlet smart sock which helped us to sleep peacefully as well as a grant to help with out of city surgery. The experience every one shares helps one to calm down during the tough nicu stay. The admins always check one affected families and pray for them. I wish well for all babies but if ever a child gets diagnosed with CDH, this group is the best resource to have. I am happy to have found this group and be a part of it

CDH Stars and Angels is caring, passionate and a voice for children with CDH.

My little one received an American girl doll from the organization to help bring a smile when she has appointments.

As a non profit, I'm please to help as much as possible and am honored to help raise funds through Amazon smile.

When I found out my son was diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) in-utero, it felt like my world had come crashing down. I reached out to this organization and not only did they give me a grant to help with medical expenses, but they also sent this loving care-package that truly lifted the spirits when we were feeling so down. This is an amazing organization that has provided us with so much support and resources for our now soon-to-be one-year-old son.

This charity has been such a huge support and help for me and my family. When I get updates about my sons CDH I can always talk with someone one on one to help me and they also help so much financially. Our doctors are 4 hours away and they help is anyway they can. I am very blessed to have them in our life. I could never thank them enough for everything!

This group has been an amazing support system. I found them last year when my granddaughter was diagnosed at 20 weeks gestation. The support our family has received has been amazing, and building a network of other families that understands what you are going through can never be measured in words. Many of us, me included, are an angel family, but I love watching the warriors fight and cheering them on!

CDH Stars and Angels is an amazing nonprofit organization that always puts their donees first. The lady that runs this is truly an wonderful person with only best interests at heart, who was inspired by her own child's journey, and now helps hundreds around the world through their journeys as well. All proceeds go to these children and families affected by this terrible and unfortunately widely misunderstood condition with a 50% mortality rate. These families often depend on this organization's help for both physical, psychological, and emotional needs. She has started it from the ground up and never gives up, knowing the immense importance of this work. I am truly inspired by her journey and all that her and this organization does to put these families first around the world.
