We have many new posters to add and will do so during the next couple of weeks. We are looking for specific types of STC photos right now, if you can help:
Brooke Sroka is a 2 year old CDH survivor in Maryland who participated in our Save the Cherubs campaign with her photographer mom, Mandy Sroka. The media was alerted to the campaign and they chose to interview the Srokas, who did an AMAZING job in raising Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness!!!
CHERUBS is an IRS recognized 501(c)III organization run solely by volunteering CDH parents, grandparents and survivors working to help other families affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Please donate to help further our work.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a severe birth defect that occurs when the diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity and preventing lung growth.
CDH occurs in 1 in every 2500 pregnancies. This equals to a baby born with CDH every 10 minutes. Over 600,000 babies have been diagnosed with CDH since 2000.
CDH is as common as Cystic Fibrosis and Spina Bifida.
