This organization does so much for the Hydrocephalus community. From books and bears to dreams come true, college scholarships, camp Hydrocephalus and Hydro Santa. They offer support like no other organization can. Someone living with Hydrocephalus knows they aren’t alone because this organization stays in contact. The help they give is amazing and inspiring in time of need.

While I've never donated to the organization before, due to lacking the means to do so (debit card or credit card.) I have nothing but strong support for Sheri and her crew. Before learning about her or her cause, I felt I was alone in my struggles against Hydrocephalus.

But then, I learned of Baby Klaus and her desire to help him. Upon learning that BOTH of them had Hydro, a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Now, she and I are the dearest of friends on Facebook and I do what I can to spread the word about Hydrocephalus Awareness to anyone and everyone I know.

I truly wish I could meet her or any of my Hydro Brothers and Sisters face-to-face and partake in a game of bowling for charity. That way, we'd be helping out a noble cause AND having a good time while doing so.

Our hydro journey started 6 years ago when my baby boy was diagnosed at birth with it. We had no idea what hydrocephalus was until my son was diagnosed. After 5 brain surgeries total we are finally 4 years complication free, we pray it stays that way. Thanks to this foundation we get to hear others tell their story which in return helps my 6 year old feel like he’s not alone. We get to meet other children with hydro and other families that are going through similar situations. We absolutely love this foundation and everything it stands for. It definitely opened a new door of life long friendships/motivations for my boy and we love it!

This foundation and it’s founder has been there since day one of birth! I’m beyond thankful for Hydrocephalus Support Foundation. My son is beyond blessed to call Mrs. Sheri a HydroSister. Although she is more like a HydroAunt. She is always available to talk and has met us on a few occasions. Even helped out when we were in the hospital for prolonged stays. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

There are numerous occasions that make this a 5 star nonprofit. Sheri is beyond helpful and always available when needed. The items purchased are reasonably priced and HAOA has even taken the time to go to the hospital to spend time with my hydro Angel son. I can't thank them enough and I'm beyond grateful for such a wonderful organization.

Hydrocephalus Support Foundation does just what the name implies. It supports people who are affected by the condition of Hydrocephalus. Being fairly newly diagnosed, I was extremely frightened and feeling alone. I had heard about Hydrocephalus. In fact, I had more than heard of it. I had worked for years in nursing on the Medical/Surgical unit at our local hospitals. Having surgery to treat the condition, although it saved my life, it also affected my memory to the point that I was no longer able to work. Stumbling upon the Hydrocephalus Support Foundation while looking for information related to Hydro has been a Godsend. Mrs Burdine and this foundation has supported me so many times when I was in need of emotional support. She’s a wonderful advocate for us living with Hydrocephalus. She understand because she too lives her life with the condition Hydrocephalus. Sheri is a wonderful advocate for us. She has done so much to enrich the lives of her fellow Hydro Warriors She deserves to be recognized for the beautiful, kind woman that she is and for all of the support that she has given to myself and others over the many years.

As a senior ( age 64) and having only been diagnosed and shunted a little over 4 years ago, I can’t begin to express how happy that I am to have the return of a non profit Hydrocephalus Support Based Foundation ran by Sheri Burdine. Sheri is an amazing, compassionate and kind woman who genuinely cares about others. As a newly diagnosed women, scared, feeling alone and needing someone who could relate to this terrible condition called Hydrocephalus and what I was going through. Not knowing if what I was experiencing were normal symptoms or something that I should be concerned about I happpened upon Hydro Angels Over America. Finding that web site and meeting Shari literally saved my life. I thank God for Shari and for giving her the strength and ability to start her new foundation. Welcome back with you new organization. We love you.

I have been a volunteer for several years for this organization and the great and touching things that I have seen from Sheri Burdine and this organization is incredible to say the least. I have volunteered for Camp Hydrocephalus many a time and it was so very touching. To see children interact with other children that had the same condition they had is so gratifying. There was even a Father and his son that had Hydrocephalus and they were there sharing stories and having fun with all the others. To have a group of families that had no idea who was who, come together as one big family was tearful. No one had any worries because Sheri Burdine was there to answer any and all questions that she could that might ease a families concern about Hydrocephalus. I too interacted with everyone and I will never forget how much fun I had and will continue to have being a volunteer For Sheri Burdine and her organization.

We Love Hydro Angels Over America and all they stand for! They not only raise awarness and support research like many non-profits do, they also focus on the needs of those living with hydrocephalus which makes them beautifully unique in the hydro-community. They bless so many families with hydro friendly events that they would never get to experience if it wasn't for them. Our family attended one of those events (Hydro Camp) and had the time of our lives!! They've met needs as great as a van to accommodate the individuals disability to sending SpongeBob to a little boy, my son, who's only wish was to have SpongeBob bring him a gift. Hydro Angels Over America has touched so many lives in so many different amazing ways and the hydro-community is a much better place with HAOA in it.

Hydro Angels Over America is a wonderful organization to volunteer and be a part of. This organization not only gives funding for Hydrocephalus research they are the only organization that helps the individual living with Hydrocephalus. Hydro Angels Over America offers scholarships to graduating Seniors living with Hydrocephalus to continue their education, they offer a weekend camp at Jellystone National Park in Canyon Lake, TX for children living with Hydrocephalus just to be a kid. They offer Holiday Miracles to young children at Christmas and Dream Comes True Miracles for adults living with Hydrocephalus. This organization has hand delivered thousands of stuffed Hydro Bears to Hydrocephalus patients who are under going shunt revisions and shunt placements. Hydro Angels Over America has helped so many people with medical necessities such as eye care, therapy sessions, gas money for far away appointments and has paid rent for those who have been out of work due to a shunt related surgery. And the best part is Hydro Angels Over America will help with funeral expenses for a fallen "Hydro Angel". This organization was started by Sheri Burdine because she herself is living with Hydrocephalus. The organization's motto is "You are Never Alone" and being a volunteer and also a Hydro Warrior I have learned I am never alone.

Haoa has been not just a great support when I have had questions or needed virtual hugs, it's connected me to loads off others just like my daughter ave they even donated more to its when we were traveling 500 miles away for cord blood infusions that our insurance wasn't paying for.

I have been a volunteer of Hydro Angels Over America since I was born. My name is Hydro Bear. I have seen Sheri Burdine, founder pour her heart and soul out for Hydro Angels not every once in a while but every single day. She want's to make every person adult or child be happy, make dreams come true, you name it. As Hydro Bear, I also see the smiles that I, Hydro Bear brings to children and even adults. I have gone to Hydro Camp, Walks and Hospitals as well as me and my good friend Sponge Bob surprised a boy at Christmas with a Holiday miracle. It has been a wonderful journey being Hydro Bear. Sheri thinks of everybody but herself because that is the person that she is. I have been to funerals of both adults and children that Hydro Angels either paid for or helped pay for. I could not be anymore proud of Sheri and her organization and what it stands for. Don't forget to read my books, "The Journey of Hydro Bear", starring me! They can be found on the website.
Love Hydro Bear, "(AKA Keith Burdine, Husband)".

Hydro Angels Over America (HAOA)is a stellar organization, connecting those effected by hydrocephalus while spreading awareness internationally. There are a plethora of facets that are remarkable about HAOA, but I want to touch on one; esprit de corps. HAOA connects people from around the world. The diverse following has allowed my son, wife and I to communicate and learn with a rich group of people. Those who persevere with hydrocephalus are bestowed the title of Hydro Warriors, but everyone a part of HAOA is a warrior; with or without hydrocephalus.

Hydro Angels Over America is a wonderful organization providing support to families and those living with Hydrocephalus. I'm a Hydro mom whose daughter has suffered from Hydrocephalus since she was 8 weeks old. She's now 32 and we fully support this organization. This is a great support group and does outstanding things for those living with Hydrocephalus such as bowling events, camp, college scholarships, walk-a-thons and granting wishes. Sheri Burdine is wonderful. She also has Hydrocephalus and fully understands what others are going through. This is a wonderful organization and I'm proud to be a supporter of this group. May God bless Sheri and Hydro Angels Over America!

But more than that they work to know all of the people in their group on a personal level. Last year my son was Granted a hydro miracle at Christmas. It was truly amazing.

My family fell on hard times last year. We were shocked to learn both our twins, fraternal boy and girl, had hydrocephalus. Since they've been born we've made countless trips to the hospital. So naturally around Christmas we were worried we wouldn't be able to afford anything for our kids. Hydro angels blessed us by choosing our kids to receive gifts from hydro Santa. Without them I'm not sure what we would have done. Hydro angels shows daily love and works so hard for those young and old affected by hydrocephalus. Thank you!!!!

Hydro angels is amazing! We had our fraternal hydro twins in July of 2015. With all of our hospital trips and unexpected surgeries we weren't sure how we were going to make a Christmas for them and their older sister. Hydro angels chose the twins for hydro Santa and the twins received some amazing gifts that they not only love But help them developmentally! And we were able to in turn surprise their older sister with a special gift that made her feel special.

Whenever we feel like we need to be reminded we aren't alone in this crazy hydro ride! We also love the hydro store..the twins sure love their hydro bears!

I can not say enough about this organization!!!! Sheri Burdine is the founder and is truly my sons and families guardian angel. My son was born with Hydrocephalus and his Daddy has it as well. About 3 years ago my son started having issues with his shunt when a friend let my know about HAOA. I contacted them via phone and I believe God works in amazing ways and was blessed to have Sheri answer the phone she spent more than a hour on the phone with me and from then on she has been part of our family. She is full of so much knowledge about Hydrocephalus and let me tell you if she is not sure of a answer she wont stop until she can find someone to help. After fighting with doctor after doctor she gave my family the strength we needed to not give up. After talking numerous times with her I finally got the doctors help and my son has been doing very well. One of the amazing thing is organization does it Hydro Santa my son got to write to Hydro Santa (which he thought it was the coolest thing ever that there is a Santa that has Hydro) and was blessed on Christmas morning with a XBOX ONE!!!!! Then another amazing thing happened our family was chosen for Hydro Camp 2016!!! This was a once in a life time trip and was truly the most amazing vacation ever. After years of hearing from my son know one is like me and none of these other kids understand I am the only one..... we had a entire weekend with 11 families that all had a family member with Hydro. A fun filled weekend of no doctors or surgeries. This organization is amazing and the friends and people you meet on the website become part of your family and you always have people to listen and help. We love you Hydro Angels from the bottom of our hearts and saying thank you will never be enough you are truly amazing

My name is Lizzy Aranibar and I am the Volunteer Outreach Coordinator for San Antonio, Texas. I am living with Hydrocephalus. Sheri Burdine was the first person I ever met with Hydrocephalus. She made me aware that I was not alone, that there were many (ONE MILLION) other people just like me living with this chronic, incurable condition. When I began connecting with other people through Hydro Angels Over America, I quickly realized that the pain I feel is shared with my "Hydro Family." We understand each other's symptoms and we are there for each other at the other end of the phone or on the other end of an email. I attended my first Hydro Angels conference in Austin, Texas where I heard from pysicians and shunt manufacturers and I learned many new things and also got to make new friends that have become my brothers and sisters. I have volunteered at our annual Charity Golf Tournament in Austin, Texas and I plan to host one this year. I have been the host of our annual Bowling to Strike Out Hydrocephalus Tournament in San Antonio where my family and friends came out to support me and this organization that means so much to me. I have answered calls and emails from people who feel alone, and others who just need someone to talk to. Some who want to know how they can get involved. I've loved every minute of every conversation.
Thank you Sheri Burdine and Hydro Angels Over America for all you do, all you are doing, and all you have done for those of us living with Hydrocephalus.

Hydro Angels Over America is an excellent organization. The thing that stands out the most to me is the founder who also has Hydrocephalus and how personable she is to everyone. She really lets you know how much she cares and it's genuine! This organization has helped so many people and all of the fundraisers I've attended have been fun and encouraging to let me know I am not alone. I believe that Hydro Angels Over America should be voted best of the Great Nonprofits because that's truly what it is, a Great Nonprofit!

When my daughter was born very ill, she acquired Hydrocephalus. I can remember the day very clearly when a doctor came into the PICU room to explain to me what my daughter had and what type of surgery was required. I felt so lost and alone, I thought certainly I am the only one whose child has this. I had so many questions, and one day I found Hydro Angels Over America and Sheri Burdine and I could finally exhale. She was able to answer so many questions I had. HAOA, offered us the ability to meet others just like us and show my daughter that she is not alone. I honestly do not know what I would do had I not found this organization. They continue to be such a great source of information for me and so many others.

I have been the Outreach Volunteer for six years, and the past Treasurer for this organization, and I have to say I am so proud of all we have accomplished. The most impactful thing I have experienced is being a part of making a dream come true for an adult living with hydrocephalus.
The most fun I have experienced is helping to host Camp Hydrocephalus since 2010. To see the joy in those families eyes and her the laughter is not something you can ever forget. Finally, I'd have to say, it is truly life changing to make a Christmas miracle come true for a hydro warrior. I have helped many causes in my lifetime, but there is none greater than being involved with Hydro Angels. I am also a proud mother of a daughter living with hydrocephalus. I highly recommend this organization to anyone wishing to donate to a good cause and also to any family needing support.

Well let me first start by introducing myself my name Is Ashley Villanueva I am 20 years old. I have had hydrocephalus since I was a baby. I have had 10 surgeries throughout my life. Anyway I think I was about 16 when I was watching t.v and heard about this wonderful organzation on the news. At that time I was feeling alone,by myself,felt like I was done with life. But then I started to feel hope and started to feel everything was turning around. I first met the hydro president Mrs.Sheri when I was picked for 2012 hydro angels christmas miracle. It was such a blessing and I will always remember that day. Then I ended having surgery and Mrs Sheri and her husband was there visting me in the hospital ,by myside and was there for my parents. I also got to experience hydro camp. Anyways my point to all this is that hydro angels over America is the best organzation!!! They are like family and treat you like if you were one of there own. I wouldnt have it any other way,they are such a blessing!!! I just want to thank the hydro board members and most of all my hydro sis Sheri.

Finding out our baby has hydrocephalus when he was 4 months old was a complete shock to our family. We were terrified of what our baby would go through as we learned that we were being sent immediately to a children's hospital to have his shunt put in. I learned about Hydro Angels from one of my former students' mom. Her daughter also has hydrocephalus. We have loved the information presented, reading the stories of other hydro Angels, and the sense of belonging to a community we have felt. We never really even knew this "community" was here, but are so happy to have found it!!

Having a child with Hydrocephalus is challenging, having an organization like HAOA is a blessing. The resources available and the wonderful people involved with this organization make it second to none. Hydro camp is an amazing opportunity for children with Hydrocephalus. We are blessed to have such a great organization.

We were fortunate enough to have been chosen to go to Hydro Camp in 2015.
It was the best experience my daughter and I have had. For the first time in her life, she was surrounded by her peers who also had Hydrocephalus and I was able to see that I wasnt alone as a parent.
We made lasting connections that I will always cherish as will she.
We love Hydro Angels and all they do for the Hydrocephalus community

Hydro Angels Over America is an awesome nonprofit organization that helps people like me with Hydrocephalus. I think others should learn more about this organization too. I give Hydro Angels Over America five stars because they are helpful to me and to others who are like me. I enjoy reading other stories about others who have had Hydrocephalus, and enjoy reading the posts that they have shared. One of the many posts I enjoy reading are the ones about people who are like me and have gone through the same things I have gone through too.

I have seen her personally struggle with her Hydrocephalus along with getting to know that I am not alone in my journey with this condition. My wife created the two tone blue hydroephalus ribbon to support me during the tough times and this organization has helped her dream come true my making it the national awareness ribbon. Its really touched many individuals in America/Canada along with people throughout the world on every continent. Its been a pleasure witnessing people coming together; and I thank everything Hydro Angels has done to spread the word :)

Hydrocephalus for me was a very lonely road for 35yrs... I had never met anyone else with hydro and tried to deny my experience with it so I didn't have to feel so alone. After meeting Sheri Burdine and HAOA, I not only found other people with hydro, but I met an organization whose focus was on "helping" people living with hydrocephalus. I admire them for bringing the dreams of those with hydro come to pass... I also think that since Sheri lives with hydrocephalus, her approach to helping others is more empathetic than someone who doesn't have the daily trials.... Keep doing what you're doing HAOA!!! You are Great!

My name is Keith Burdine. I have had the pleasure of watching this organization grow from just a "thought" to a national organization in just a few short years. I am amazed at what has been accomplished with an all volunteer staff. Hydro Angels Over America is not a million dollar organization, but they certainly represent, support, love and advocate for the one million Americans living with hydrocephalus. I am honored to do my (small) part as a volunteer, who happens to be married to the founder and president of the organization. I have a birds-eye view of the passion and determination this organization has to make sure everyone who has hydrocephalus knows they are not alone.

I have the pleasure of serving on the Board of this Wonderful Organization. Prior to joining the Board, I was a Volunteer and attended most of the events held by HydroAngels. At each event, I meet amazing people all dealing with Hydrocephalus in some way. Whether they personally have it or their loved one does, meeting them and seeing how they appreciate an organization founded in part to help them has truly enriched my life. I know people that are alive today as a direct result of the Founder of this organization's determination. That in itself, is monumental and powerful as it takes someone who is unselfish to give of themselves in the Hope of making a difference. Knowing someone with this kind of determination, is a joy and I am forever grateful to have been asked to serve as a Board Member.
I could list so many instances where HydroAngels has had a positive effect on the lives of others. I continue to be amazed by the people I meet at our events and wonder how different their lives would be without our efforts. You would have a hard time finding and organization that works as hard with every fiber of its being to make a difference and does. When a new program or service is created by HydroAngels, its generally due to a life changing event that we have been made aware of or involved in, and its our intention for that new program or service to provide comfort in one form or another.
We experience sad times when a HydroWarrior passes and it motivates us to keep working hard so that one day people will not perish as result of Hyrdocephalus. I will continue to work hard so we can do more. I am comforted to know that We Do Make a Difference.

Best regards,

Michael Wells

I am currently a Board Member of this organization. Prior to joining the board, I have been an active volunteer and at many different events have witnessed many life changing moments for those that our organization has helped. So many struggle with Hydrocephalous and the most common statement I hear made is "we had no idea an organization like you existed and without your support our lives would be much different". To see the faces at events of those who have been helped in some way or have simply found happiness by getting together with others who struggle like they do is the reason I am so motivated to be a part of HAOA. We have big goals for how we would like to help others and are continuing to find ways to promote HAOA. I have witnessed an unselfish Love shared from the Founder who deals with her own Hydro related issues every day but puts on a good face and doesn't let it keep her from hosting successful events. I really have so many stories I could share and look forward to continuing seeing smiles!!

I met mrs.sheri and Angels over america right before my emergency shunt surgery in May. I spoke to mrs.sheri shortly after my surgery and was feeling depressed because of everything that was going on at the time. I asked her how much the hydro bears were. ..well, about a week and a half later I received a care package with a bear,2 books, a wrist band(which my husband wears every day) and a personal letter from her. It not only touched my heart but my soul as well. I didn't know that people like mrs.Sheri and organizations like hydro angel's over america existed. If it weren't for my husband pushing me to find out more about my hydrocephalusand encouraging me to to find others like me, I never would've found you guys.

I am so proud to be a member of this amazing organization. My daughter was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 3 months of age. I had no idea what to do and what to expect. Doctors told me the facts, but I had so many more questions and concerns for my baby. I reached out to Hydro Angels Over America and Sheri, the organizations founder and president, answered the phone. After talking me off my ledge of emotion, Sheri provided me with much needed information and answered so many of my questions and concerns. Sheri, herself, has hydrocephalus and knows first hand the struggles and concerns faced by families who are facing this diagnosis. I am so grateful to her and to the organization for providing a community that can help others with this condition. Not only is Hydro Angels Over America there to provide knowledge and support for families with Hydrocephalus, it also provides much needed funding for medical equipment, medical procedures, making many hydro warrior's dreams come true, funding for burial arrangements, funding for Hydro Camp (for children and adults with hydrocephalus) and so much more. This is truly and incredible organization with a Board that has so much heart. This world is a better place because of Hydro Angels Over America!

I'll never forget the day - May 30th of 2012. My daughter was just shy of 3 months old and I was told she had Hydrocephalus. I could barely hear voices over my own heartbeat and I could barely see through my tears. What does that mean? What do I do? Will she be OK? Brain surgery? Of course, the first thing you are told not to do is "Google" it ... so what is the first thing I did ... Google it, of course. Consumed with fear for my daughter and feeling so alone, I knew I needed to reach out to someone who knew this condition. In my "Google adventures" I found a website for Hydro Angels Over America. I read that the founder had hydrocephalus herself and the words "You are not alone" resonated through the page. I called immediately and was pleasantly surprised that Sheri Burdine, the founder answered my call. She took the time to answer my endless questions, listen through my tears. I understood more as I spoke with her and she inspired me so much that I became a board member. Making a difference for my daughter and for all with Hydrocephalus became my dream . Raising money for families in need, raising awareness of this condition, making dreams come true for those with Hydrocephalus. This organization truly puts those with hydrocephalus first. Sheri LOVES what she does and it resonates through every event she sponsors and organizes. This organization was built on HEART and has grown to help so many families, it deserves the highest of awards!

This is the best organization out there. My son was born with Hydrocephalus and we knew nothing about the condition. We spent 2 years with different organizations that did nothing but offer confusing information on their websites. These organizations made us feel like we were one in a million and were alone. We found Hydro Angels Over America in 2012 and our lives have been changed for the better ever since. The founder of the organization understands what all of these families dealing with hydro go through because she herself has hydrocephalus. This organization does so much for so many. Not only are do we feel like we are part of an organization but they make us feel like we are part of a big Hydro family. They have helped us is so many ways and we know that if there is ever anything we need then we can call them and they will not hesitate to get us (and everyone else) the help they need. This organization is a bless to everyone it reaches out to. HAOA does not hold anything against a person or family. It does not matter a persons background or what they do for a living. All that matters is bringing awareness to this condition and helping people that deal with it on a daily basis.

HAOA is the most caring organization I have ever seen! The founder Sheri Burdine lives with Hydrocephalus herself, so she understands the physical and emotional impact of what people go though. I have seen her encourage, motivate, love, cry, mourn, and make dreams come true that would otherwise never happen. I created an awareness ribbon for Hydrocephalus, and although I reached out to other organizations, HAOA is the only one who adopted it. It is now used worldwide and is spreading awareness where it was previously lacking. I love this organization and the people who run it!

I have been working with Hydro Angels for the past 6 years and am very proud of our association with such a great cause. I met Sheri while I was working in New Braunfels, her home town. She explained to me why she created this organization. We started out slow with just some minor donations and have grown with her through the years to be one of her key sponsors. The fact that she has gone through so many surgeries and all she does is smile and say it is gods will is a testament to her faith and love for her fellow man. I am very proud to be associated with such a great cause and great person.

I have known Sheri Burdine since she organized the first Austin-San Antonio Hydrocephalus Walk and asked me to spread the word to my patients. After 3 years of helping to raise money for another national Hydrocephalus group, Sheri decided to start her own nonprofit in order to bring the support directly to the patients and families effected by hydrocephalus. I gladly accepted her request to be the medical advisor to the board. What began as Hydro Angels Over Texas has rapidly grown and spread across the country becoming Hydro Angels Over America and providing support for families all across the nation and as far away as Australia. Sheri has a fierce determination to raise awareness of the condition of hydrocephalus which affects young and old and to help patients and their family realize that they are not alone. Beyond the hours she spends in one-on-one phone calls and visits with families, through Hydro Angels she has organized walks and other fundraising events that provide financial assistance to needy families, created an overnight summer camp experience for hydro families, started the Hydro Heroes award to provide a special wish for an adult with hydrocephalus, inspired the creation of 2 college scholarships. Additionally, Hydro Angels established Project Daisy to help with burial cost assistance when the need arises. Sheri has been able to reach out to families near and far, Sheri has used social media to assist people across the nation with fundraising efforts with all of the money raised being kept for local needs. As part of the mission to raise awareness, Sheri has designed Hydro Bears, and written two educational books about the journey of Hydro Bear. All of this has been established in a remarkably short few years.

My daughter, Annagail, was born with hydrocephallus. She has been in therapy and seen specialists since her birth. Today she is a thriving 5yr. old in Kindergarten. She has had her medical scares, hospitalizations and set-backs in her short life. She developed seizures a year ago which regressed her and tripled her therapy visits per week. We are a hard working middle class family and give every opportunity to our daughter to excel. In the past 2 years my husband underwent radiosurgery for a tumor on his brain. We were also blessed with a little boy last year. That being said, my husband had to take off work for a year then downsize his workload. And I was just laid off last month. Our annual visits on our insurance had run out for Annagail's therapy and we were paying out of pocket for 3 visits to OT/PT and speech weekly. I knew we could not afford her therapy anymore so desperately I searched the internet for help. We are firm believers in charity and have always given to our community. So I thought surely someone could help us. I found Hydro Angels over America and was elated. Not only did the organization ease my stress and worry........Ms. Sherri gave me comfort and guidance. This is a top notch organization. You can feel the sincerity and that they are truly their to help you and your family. Hydros help with our daughter's therapy has given me a sense of hope that my daughter will continue to defy the odds with her development and education. I couldn't be more proud to be a recipient from such a beautiful person and organization. And I am forever grateful for them. Heather Rusher

I know lovely people who are affiliated and giving their all to this organization. After attending one of their fundraisers and hearing about its role in our community, we became educated on its need and what it is doing. Five stars for all that they done and plan to do!
