Testimonials
The Jones family
“We didn’t know anyone other than the doctors and nurses who worked with Allie. But through regular visits and family-sponsored activities, Noah’s Children introduced us to a whole network of other families who were going through similar situations. They’ve been a blessing in our lives.”
Dr. Ted Abernathy, Retired Pediatrician
“In no way is the process of dying a ‘matter-of-fact’ occurrence. But Noah’s makes it so you’re not afraid of it. They don’t make the process of dying easy, but it becomes more comfortable because the fear is gone. At the end, no one is afraid. They are sad, but not afraid. It helps make death a more peaceful process. It’s just the best way for the child and the family.”
“Thank you so much for including me in the wonderful event for Noah’s Children. I am beyond inspired by the work you do for kids all over Richmond. Thanks also for the cool piece of art — it reminds me of the great night in Richmond and all of the kids who through your inspiration and love have better lives!”
“You have made our lives so much easier and so much more fun! Our entire family had a wonderful time at Camp Hilbert. It was the best experience. The children loved swimming! It was amazing to not have to worry about lunch!! The Sweet Frog truck was the best—it’s hard for us to go there with 4 kids and a wheelchair. But that’s your secret. All of that is hard if not downright impossible for families like ours. And you make it possible. Bless you all and thank you so much for these memories. We live for this!”
“We had never been through anything like this before, so we were completely unprepared. Noah’s Children came in and educated us about the disease, the statistics, the prognosis and what to expect. Not knowing what would happen was incredibly difficult. But having the birth plan Noah’s developed gave us a roadmap, so we would know what to do.”
“We didn’t know what to do or what to think. We were completely unprepared. And then Noah’s Children came into our lives and helped us understand the disease and the process. They were there just to talk to us about our fluctuating emotions and how we were feeling overall. It meant so much. ”
“Words can never fully describe the last 18 months of my family’s life. The support and love of Noah’s Children employees and volunteers never can be repaid.”
“I couldn’t have survived this long without Noah’s Children. The staff and volunteers do so much for us. I can call the nurses or social worker anytime to ask them questions. But for us, the best thing about Noah’s Children is that they work with the whole family, not just the special needs of the child.”
