Why Cure Pity?

I stumbled across this link http://curepity.org/why-cure-pity/ yesterday when I was browsing through Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare's website. Our youngest child often frequented Gillette's specialists when she was young.

The CurePity pledge struck such a cord within me that I sat motionless on our couch while memories of people pitying us flooded my mind. It was the sentiment that drained me most when I had to get my children the help they needed.

Children don't need pity (nor do their parents). They thrive with support, engagement, access to excellent medical care, appropriate adaptations and inclusion in their schools and communities.

Take a moment to sign the pledge and check out the website at http://curepity.org/why-cure-pity/--Allyson

  1. Children need love, patience, and encouragement. Other stuff just gets in the way.
