Review for CDH International, Wake Forest, NC, USA
28 months ago we welcomed our Cherub Jayden into the world, and 27 months ago we buried him.
He crashed at birth but fought back, and kept fighting back for 23 days until he could fight no more.
For my daughter the days are long & lonely. There is an emptiness in her heart nothing can fill, and the chances for another baby are so small they are almost nil. She will forever miss her son...
For me as his grandma, it feels like a piece of me is missing, that I have been cheated of the chance to spoil & love him like a grandma should. Endless supplies of pinwheels at his grave are all I can give him now. I will forever miss my grandson...
Please support CHERUBS! They were there for us and so many families in so many way that we are now volunteers helping to advance support of CHERUBS. My daughter is now a Hospital Angel volunteer & I am a Co-Rep for Oregon. We all need to band together & fight to "Save the Cherubs" until we have the answers & someday can keep ANY family has to go through this journey!

Review for CDH International, Wake Forest, NC, USA
My grandson was diagnosed with CDH at 17 weeks into my daughter's pregnancy with less than a 50% chance of survival. Although our doctors did an excellent job of preparing us for what was to come we still had a ton of questions that only families who have been down the CDH road could really understand & relate to. We found CHERUBS just before he was born and the support they showed was phenomenal after he was born and especially after he grew his wings.
Although we will always grieve his loss the 'family' we have found through CHERUBS will always be dear to our heart and we are proud to support them in getting awareness out about CDH.
