My Nonprofit Reviews

My son is a survivor of CDH. He will turn 40 in a few days. Back when he was born, we had never heard about CDH until the day he was born. We got very little information and were terrified new parents. Since being a part of CHERUBS, we have learned so much about this condition. I cannot thank Dawn enough for all of her hard work and dedication. This wonderful group has given parents like myself who were basically clueless, information, support, resources and a place to share with others who had never even heard of CDH. It has been a blessing to parents, siblings and extended family as they navigate their way through their own personal journey with CDH.

I am the Mother of a CDH survivor who will be 34 this year. I have been fortunate enough to know CHERUBS through Face Book. I have met some amazing people, shared stories, tears, support and prayers with those who have been touched by CDH. I wish CHERUBS would have been in existence when my son was born. We were given very little information about CDH back in 1983, and as a new Mom, I felt very alone. Dawn Williamson has been a God send to each and every member of this group. She, with the help of her volunteers works tirelessly to aid families touched by CDH, provide a safe place to share worries, give families the information needed as they travel this journey and allow people to access information and awareness where CDH is concerned. I feel blessed and honored to be a part of this wonderful CDH family.

I have to say, that although my son is a survivor of CDH (almost 28 years now) I have been blessed to have been able to connect with Dawn Williamson and so many wonderful, caring,m giving people through CHERUBS. Back then, we were given very little details about CDH..we were only told it was life threatening and that my son would spend quite a while in the NICU. After all of these years, I have found out so much information about CDH, I feel more empowered to move forward and teach others about it, make them aware of it and do my best to try to get funds to bring research for CDH, so that, maybe, in my lifetime..it will no longer be a potential death sentence for babies. I am so grateful for this organization and for the people running it, the people who have joined it and for giving me a place to connect and learn. I hope someday to "pay it forward"..to help others the way they have helped me.
