Charity for Children has helped me as a single mother a lot. It is a very, very helpful organization and if it wasn't for this charity I probably wouldn't have been able to take my daughter down to New York City for her appointments. I also am surprised at how much they helped us and how quickly things were done even with such short notice.

I worked with Nina and she was amazing. She was interested in everything I told her. She got our tickets for the bus and made reservations for a hotel that was conveniently located close to the hospital and she did it so quickly so that I didn’t have to wonder how I was going to take my child to where she needed to be. She was also such a nice lady she gave me her personal number so if anything happened along the trip I would be able to get a hold of her then and there and not have to wait till the next business day.

Charity for Children has helped my baby who is soon going to be two years old and was born three months premature. Rylie had and still has many medical problems. Rylie has a tracheotomy and also has a G J tube which is how she gets her nutrition because she is not able to have anything by mouth.

At one point she was able to eat and drink some by mouth and enjoyed it very much but lately she has been having problems aspirating. I am trying to find doctors who may be able to help her to be able to eat and drink by mouth. I hate when she sees people eat or drink or even see's food or a cup and gets very upset and cry's. She has also been admitted to the hospital within the past month or two because she had aspiration pneumonia in both lungs.

I am very thankful for this organization and I hope people will help support this charity and also hope that people who need their help will contact them and will not be made to feel like they have lowered themselves.

We greatly appreciate the help of Charity for Children.
