Testimonials

We have received hundreds of comments from our members this year telling us how much they value being part of Kids With Food Allergies and the POFAK [Parents of Food Allergic Kids] online support group. The following are just a few that we have received:

We send you our heartfelt gratitude for everything you and Kids with Food Allergies give to us. This has truly been a real life saver for our family in so many ways. Thanks to you, we are adjusting faster and finding the limitations to be more of a gift rather than such a daunting sacrifice.

"Thank you! There have been days when I didn't know how we'd make it, and just visiting the site gave hope and strength. Your mission is strong and good and is helping others."

"Thank you so much for all that you do for the entire community. Your support means more to me and my family than you could ever possibly know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!."

"I love having a place to go where people understand and are so supportive."

"This website has been the single most important resource for me since finding out about my son's food allergies in September 2005. I recommend this site to every parent I meet who has a child with food allergies. The support, among everything else that is offered, is outstanding. I cannot thank everyone enough for their time, dedication and commitment to this site and for helping me realize that it is very possible to live without peanuts, milk and eggs. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

"It is nice to know I am not the only one with this problem. I know there are lots of parents like me even though I feel like I am fighting this alone. This website is my therapy. This is where I spend my breaks when @ work."

"Thank you so much for this website. I have recommended it to many others. It has been invaluable in helping me deal with my daughter's multiple food allergies."

"We appreciate the wealth of information provided on this site. This has been the best site I have found in terms of research, daily living advice, food."

"This site has made me able to cope so much better! My husband does not need to discuss/worry as much as I do, so this site has helped keep both of us sane."

"I am very glad to have found this site over a year ago when my child was at his sickest but is now growing and gaining weight. Everyone here helped so much with finding out what was wrong with my son by telling them what his symptoms were, because they had been there before."

"You guys have changed my life. Everytime I think about how much you've helped me it brings tears in my eyes (like right now!). I would not have made it without you, trust me. Just knowing that someone out there was caring and could relate to my distress has lifted me above that black cloud of despair that kept coming back, each time something would go wrong with my kids' allergies... Thank you a million times!"

"POFAK [Parents of Food Allergic Kids Support Group] was such a help for me after first getting my DS diagnosis. I literally stopped eating while breastfeeding because I was afraid of causing reactions. I found your site and printed off lists of 'safe' foods and recipes which gave us a place to start. Now I'm so appreciative of the people who make up this site it's a treasure. Thanks so much!"

"I really appreciate the site and what you do - My daughter has severe food allergies and allergies to medicines, etc... I originally found [my child's gastroenterologist] from reading experiences from people on this site - and I always go to the site to research products, experiences, etc. This site has really helped guide me through the management of her allergies! Thanks for what you do!

We think frequently of how wonderful POFAK has been for us. I don't know how we would be getting through this without this community. We're doing pretty darn well, thanks to all of you. Thank you!!

"It's not ever said enough, so I thank you for all that you have given me and [my daughter]--a peace of mind knowing I'm not alone, knowing that I can find someone to talk to that understands fully because they've been there and done that, and knowing that KFA continues to grow to spread the awareness and is achieving its mission."

"I will be forever indebted to KFA...our lifeline."
