My Nonprofit Reviews

My son, Cooper, looks like any other 5-year-old kid. He's active and he's silly. But he's not like other kids his age because Cooper can't eat. He has a rare disease called eosinophilic gastroenteritis that has left him reliant on an amino acid formula for food, administered via a permanent feeding tube. He can't enjoy pizza and cupcakes with his friends at birthday parties. He can't sit with his friends at lunch (he's in the nurse's office instead). And he can't participate in a culture where every celebration and social gathering centers around food. But thanks to a red bike Cooper won through a Bounce raffle, he can bike up and down our street with his friends like a madman. Winning that bike was one of the best things that could've happened to us. His self-esteem has SOARED! As his mom, saying I'm grateful doesn't do it justice. Being a part of a community like Bounce is honestly the best feeling in the world. We no longer feel alone.
