My Nonprofit Reviews

One year ago, I wasn’t sure if my newborn son Samuel Reis would be alive long enough to leave the hospital and go home with our family.
During my 35th week of pregnancy, I found out that my unborn child had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, a condition where the diaphragm doesn’t fully form, resulting in the abdominal organs lifting into the chest cavity and preventing proper lung growth. I was devastated and lost, as I knew nothing about this condition. CHERUBS — the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Public Awareness and Support Association was there to provide me with information about CDH and connect me with other CDH families.
