We Are Survivors - KIDS
Supporting Parents

Providing Resources for Parent Caregivers

Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

When our son was diagnosed with a medical condition, we felt afraid, hopeless, scared, and desperate for his healing. After experiencing that and feeling so lonely, I knew that I would never want another parent to face something like this unprepared and without others who could understand their pain and agony. For this reason, we birthed We Are Survivors - KIDS to meet the needs of parents caring for children with a chronic illness or neurological difference.

Our Mission

We Are Survivors - KIDS provides programs and resources to make life easier for parents of children with a chronic illness and/or neurological difference.  

White Structure

What We Do

We Are Survivors - KIDS helps parents of children with a chronic illness and/or neurological difference by offering support groups and connecting families with condition-specific resources and therapies. Additionally, we are a network of resources for families as we aim to be their one-stop shop to find whatever information needed to best support and care for their child.

 

Vision

We hope that no family facing a new diagnosis will ever feel alone as they start the journey.
