Raise funds to help children and families with Pediatric Feeding Disorders!

$100 towards $1,000

1 in 4 children has a pediatric feeding disorder. Every day in my role as a feeding specialist I see the impact this has on the child and the family. Things like tracking every ml of milk a child drinks to get off their Gtube or avoid a Gtube, a parent being told their child can't drink their breastmilk because they need a formula that they can digest, families that can't go out to restaurants because the sights and smells are challenging for their child, the panic when a certain formula or a certain food packaging changes which means a child may not eat or drink it.

The list goes on and on... AND NO IT'S NOT JUST A PHASE OR JUST A BEHAVIOR!!!

Join me today in supporting real change through the Feeding Matters fundraiser. My hope is that with the right advocacy and resources PFDs are recognized by professionals, supported by insurance and that more clinicians are trained to provide services to these families.
