Review for CDH International, Wake Forest, NC, USA
My name is Christina. I am on the CHERUBS Parent Advisory Board. I will not throughout any of my comments, emails, etc. Bash, Downgrade, Commit Libel or Slander directed towards ANY CDH Organization. I believe it truly takes a heart filled with anger and hatred to do something like that. I choose not to posses those traits and make the conscience decision to Believe in the Positive and Hope that one day All CDH Organizations will Work Together for THE COMMON CAUSE THAT BROUGHT US ALL HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!! Do you Remember how CDH was brought into your life, Do you remember why you chose to Volunteer to help raise Awareness of CDH and Funds for Research for CDH?? Instead of the insults I am seeing on this page (which are making me ill), why don't we try lifting each other up with Positive aspects of the Organizations. We are here for one purpose CDH and our children!!! Who Cares what Organization your with, Who cares WHO you support. JUST FOCUS ON SUPPORTING CDH RESEARCH AND AWARENESS!!!!!!! I found CHERUBS while doing Research on CDH, which like many of you, I had never heard of. I was supplied with a Plethora of information and support from the Forums, Before, during and After my Son was born. There were days I felt so alone in that NICU, I knew all I had to do was turn on my computer and go to those Forums and I could talk to someone else that was going through that too! After we got home and settled into a routine (the CDH kid routine) I decided I wanted to be there for those Mom's in my State, I never wanted any of them to feel alone or just feel the darkness creep up on them in that cave of a NICU room. I Chose to Support the Organization that was there for me, I stand by that decision to this day. I have met so many wonderful people throughout this time, many support several different CDH Orgs, The one thing these PARENTS that support several different orgs are doing is SUPPORTING CDH RESEARCH AND AWARENESS and in return receiving support from all different aspects of organizations. I sometimes wish I didn't know how all these organizations treat each other and could look at all Orgs with innocent eyes. All I know is this, CHERUBS was and Is there for me. I SUPPORT CDH AWARENESS AND RESEARCH and everyday, that is what CHERUBS does as well. Thank you for hearing me out and lets just try and be nice and respect each other.

Review for CDH International, Wake Forest, NC, USA
I am a Mother to a 4 year old CDH Warrior. I was devistated by a disease I had never heard of at my 20 week ultrasound. For two weeks I was in a deep dark depression and as I lay in bed I felt my Son kicking me from within. I thought to myself, this is a Fighter, I had better follow suit. I logged into my computer and quickly found CHERUBS. I have to admit, I was a voyer for a bit of time. I celebrated the life of the warriors and sympathized with the families that lost their babies to this disease. CHERUBS gave me hope when I had none, an ear to listen when I needed one, and a hug when I least expected one. In honor of my Son and to help other families on their CDH journey, I have become State Rep of Wa. I hope one day, with enough research bills passed, we will release balloons in celebration of LIFE after CDH.
