Parent Advocacy

I work at a fast food restaurant in Charlotte, NC. I recently spoke with the Area Director about putting UBPN donation forms on the front counter. I happened to have perfect timing, because the president of the company showed up the next day. He asked to borrow one of the Outreach magazines (I always have one with me). The next week, our AD brought the magazine back, along with a stack of UBPN donation forms copied out of it, for me to put in front of the register. I told him he should have waited until I was off the clock to hand them to me, because I started crying.
I'm 23. I never dreamed I would be where I am, doing what I do...I didn't know I had the strength. And thank God the company I work for cares so much about little ole me and my family.

That's fabulous! Absolutely heart warming!!!
I hope that along with donations, much Awareness about BPIs are spread to prevent future injuries!

Thank you for being a Parent Advocate!

Thank you so much for all you are doing to spread the word about UBPN and this injury. This is truly wonderful.

You should be very proud of what you are doing for yourself and for others. You truly are a Parent Avdocate.

My very best to you.

Hugs, Karen
