Welcome to our site

This site is a place for the people who love a child with a rare disease, disorder or illness… the child, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, guardians, cousins and beloved friends. I am the mother of a son with a rare pediatric disease, JORRP, and the last two years have been a journey for our family and loved ones. We have felt fear and triumph, desperation and hope. I have never felt more supported, or more isolated. I hope to use this website as a place to share information, support and stories. This website and community will grow through your contributions. So please, consider sharing information or a story or building a profile. Thank you. xo, nora

Stories

I find strength in reading other people’s stories.  Loving  a child with a rare disease makes demands on you and provides incredible rewards and reading about the experiences of others can reduce a feeling of isolation and provide joy.  Please consider sharing your experience.  You might want to share a few sentences, a few paragraphs, a story or be an ongoing contributor.  In our gratitude for your sharing I ask the community to be supportive and to not be critical of the things that don’t matter like grammar or writing style.

Some topics that you might want to write about include:

joy

grief

pain

rejoicing

relief

worry

decision making

balancing

siblings

parents

communication

relationships

finances

I’ve started with my story.
