How would I go about sending items that are needed for the tote bags.
I only wish I knew about this site earlier so I could have recieved one. I would love to help bless other familes.
I am blessed to be a 38 year old SHM. I have a 15 and 12 year old boys from my first marraige, I have 11 and 5 year old step children. We had our little cherub Oct 31, 2013. She was undiagnosed but has beaten all the odds. We were only in the NICU for 17 days!
Items for the totebags, you can mail them here:
CHERUBS
3650 Rogers Road, Suite #290
Wake Forest, NC USA 27587
Please include a note with the items with your name and that you are donating in honor of your baby girl. We will label the items in the office or some do their own labels.
These totebags bring so much comfort to families. We currently send them out to all members within the states and Canada that are expecting or in the NICU when joining. Our UK reps. send out their own over there in the UK and you can email them at uk@cherubs-cdh.org for their mailing address.

Grandmother to cherub angel Jayden, the only son to my born to youngest daughter, Alicia.
Jayden was diagnosed with CDH at his 17 week ultrasound with severe LCDH, stomach, intestines up as well as having polycystic kidneys. He was born February 19, 2010 at 36 weeks gestation.
Jayden spent 7 days on ECMO after which he was working on gaining strength for surgery when his polycystic kidneys started failing at about day 15, totally failing by day 19.
Jayden spent 4 days on dialysis before gaining his wings on March 14, 2010 at age 23 days.
