Class of ’24 locks lopped for sick kids

Cohen and Cooper came into the world prematurely and were each diagnosed with life-threatening respiratory and swallowing complications. The usual emotional journey of welcoming a child into the world was taken into overdrive for parents Emily and Ben, who watched both Cohen and Cooper fight for the lives they’d only just begun.

Little Cohen (5) and Cooper (1.5) have visited our house since they were born, and will likely continue to be regular visitors over their childhood and teen years.

The two brothers came into the world prematurely and were each diagnosed with life-threatening respiratory and swallowing complications. The usual emotional journey of welcoming a child into the world was taken into overdrive for parents Emily and Ben, who watched both Cohen and Cooper fight for the lives they’d only just begun.

And that fight has been and will continue to be a long one.

With your generosity, we can continue to help our Chapters expand their reach and ensure even more families are supported throughout the world.
