CHERUBS HOPE Totebag Project Blankets

We are busy, busy, busy as bees working on this project and it's almost ready to start! We do have a few problems and need some help!

1. We still need some items. Especially disposable cameras, handprint and footprint kits, 3 ring binders and teddy bears. The list is below. Please see if you can help out some CDH families.

2. When we took this project over from the originator it was a bit disorganized. We have no idea who donated what items! Below are photos of blankets, please help us to identify them at http://www.cdhsupport.org/members/viewtopic.php?t=3350&highlight= We'll post the other items in that forum as well.

We are going to label each item donated for the totebags. So much love and time went into them, the recipients should know that other CDH parents donated these things!

We have absolutely no idea who donated what. So we need your help please. If you donated any of these blankets, please let us know!

I apologize for the photos - they don't do these beautiful blankets justice at all!

Get Out Your Video Cameras - We Need Kids To Help With Book Project!!

As part of new kid's book project, we will have a song and a video. We need videos of kid's explaining what Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia is in their own terms. The best one will be created into the text of the new kid's book!

Simply video tape your child (cherub or sibling or cousin) explaining the best that they can (in kid's term) what CDH is. Then send us the video to events@cdhsupport.org

Video entry deadline is August 5th - we need to hurry these up so we can vote and get these books done for our CHERUBS HOPE totebags! :)

CHERUBS New CDH Baby Book - We Need Your Help!

CHERUBS New CDH Baby Book is almost finished! But we need your help! We'd like to hear any and all suggestions from CDH parents on what more we should include in this book.



This book is going to be an amazing resource for CDH parents. The very first of it's kind, it combines our Parent Reference Guide with a non-traditional baby book. There is tons of information about CDH, how to prepare for the hospital, sources of support, medical terms, business card holder and more - but there are also places for photos, handprints & footprints, "normal" first, family tree, baby shower information, journaling, scheduling and more.

What we need help on is suggesting more text - http://cdhsupport.org/members/viewtopic.php?t=3153

Submitting drawings and photos - http://cdhsupport.org/members/viewtopic.php?t=3201

Starting in August, our new CDH Baby Book will go out to new and expectant CDH parents who join CHERUBS. It will be part of our CHERUBS HOPE totebag project.

This 100+ page book will be available for free download from our site for those that wish to print the pages to add to 1.5" 3-ring binders. For the bounded version, it will be on sale on cafepress and Amazon.com in August.
