Dear Starlight MidAtlantic,
"
It was so nice to meet you today at the skating event.  Our family had so much fun.  These events really lift my family's spirits.  Dawson has to have infusion sites and tubing inserted every three days.  This is a very painful process and we often talk about our latest Starlight  MidAtlantic escape to help Dawson keep his mind off the pain.  Life is tough living with such a devastating disease. It really affects our entire family.  Thank you for allowing my family to have much needed "escapes".
-Eleanor Duff, A Starlight Mom

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Starlight MidAtlantic...

"Yesterday I cried... Not because my son came home from school crying due to being teased. Not because he faces another surgery, and casting. Not because I need to tell him yet again, it's ok to do things different than everyone else. And not because, I beg the Lord to switch places with me, and heal him so he can be just like all the other boys. I cried because he told me he felt like a king this week. He told me he thought we were rich. And because he asked me 'mom, I am special, aren't I?'

 

That itself was worth every tear I ever shed.  Thank you." ~ A note from a Starlight MidAtlantic mom

Starlight MidAtlantic helps seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities.
