Lorelai's Story

The doctors and nurses that saved our lives are literal angels on earth. I want to thank Dr. Weibel who saved my life and Dr. Frederick who saved Lorelai. It is a true miracle we are here and we wouldn’t be without those doctors, the nurses and all of your prayers.

Augustino’s Story

We are so grateful for the entire NICU staff and Hamot Health Foundation/Grady’s Decision who gave us a safe place to stay. It was so comforting knowing that we could walk a block and see our baby boy. Augustino is 8 months old now, he is such a happy baby and full of life!

Evan's Story

After a scan showed a mass in Evan’s abdomen, we were sent to the Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he was diagnosed with A Typical Burkett’s Lymphoma. After that, it seems like a blink. He had surgery to remove the tumor, and chemotherapy, then we started our 7-year journey of follow-up care.
