Testimonials from Our Patient Families

Williams Family

Our son James, ‘affectionately called Jimmy’, is eight years old and has Sickle Cell Anemia. During one of his many hospital stays for a ‘Sickle pain crisis’, there was an Angel that appeared. This was an ‘earthly’ angel from Embrace Kids Foundation and her name was ‘Angel’. This was the start of a long lasting relationship between our family and Embrace Kids. We quickly became involved with the Foundation’s events such as the Heel to Heal Walkathon (Jimmy Express team formed), Rutgers Dance Marathon, Holiday Party, etc.

It is hard for any family to think about dealing with the news that your child has Cancer or Sickle Cell and how overwhelming it is. When you combine this with existing family challenges, the blow sometimes feels catastrophic. Embrace Kids has been a consistent source of help, both financially and emotionally to our family during our time of need.

It is always comforting to see and hear from our ‘extended’ family (Embrace Kids) who has dedicated themselves in being very supportive to us. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
