Dear Starlight MidAtlantic,
"It was almost a year ago when Ben and I attended our first Starlight MidAtlantic event. At that time the only other children Ben had any contact with attended clinic with him. We had made it through 5 of the worst months of our lives. Ben felt isolated from his friends and received adverse attention whenever we went out. It was only after he was able to return to school full time in November that I found out how much it hurt him to be known as the “bald sick kid in the wheelchair”. He managed to hide most of the pain behind his big smile and just shrug it off. Starlight MidAtlantic opened a whole new world where he could laugh and feel special with other kids and not think about the clinic.
It was then that my “Ben” started to return.
Ben loves attending the Starlight events! Our family is so grateful for all that you do! You bring so much joy to so many people. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!”
With Love, Priscilla, A Starlight MidAtlantic Mom
