My son was diagnosed with a life-threatening blood disorder in 2006. He was scared and began to withdraw from things he loved and life in general...that is when PSCF came into our lives...he went in and wrote and recorded a song, while we waited for the doctor, and found the courage to fight his disease. It was through this great organization that I got my out-going, lovely boy back..he has since written and recorded many songs, while in Texas Children's on floor 14.. I will always think Anita, the wonderful creator of PSCF was our own personal angel.
