Review for The MAGIC Foundation, Warrenville, IL, USA
In 2012 we got a rare disease diagnosis for our 3 week old son, that included growth hormone deficiency. When you are stuck in the NICU, with all these big, scary sounding words to describe your sweet newborn and lots of unknowns about his future, you feel very alone. We found the MAGIC Foundation when our son was about 4 months old. We were able to speak to a mom whose son had the same diagnosis and she lead us to a social network support group hosted by MAGIC. We found hope! We found families who “got it”. We got to see other children growing and thriving. We were able to attend their children’s convention that summer and it was an absolute blast. We loved what they had for the kids who came, the speakers and specialist were phenomenal, and we made friends with other families with the same diagnosis. We are now 6 1/2 years out from diagnosis day and we still love MAGIC just as much if not more! They have been a foundational pillar of support, encouragement, and current information that we have yet to find anywhere else.
