MISSION STATEMENT
Breath of Hope exists to combat the congenital diaphragmatic hernia birth defect. We are committed to supporting parents, children, family members and friends facing the diagnosis of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia birth defect. We carry out this mission through promoting public awareness, supporting the medical community and encouraging research efforts to one day successfully treat all those diagnosed with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Breath of Hope provides the latest information on the treatment and care of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia birth defect. Breath of Hope provides emotional support to parents who are expecting a baby with the congenital diaphragmatic hernia birth defect and will provide emotional support to the parents of surviving and non-surviving children. Breath of Hope currently provides an online email listserv through Yahoo! Groups. This open forum of parents and relatives provides an environment where parents no longer feel alone and where they meet other families that have survived the trials and tribulations of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia birth defect.

PLEASE NOTE: MEMBERSHIP FORM MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE APPROVAL ON THIS LISTSERV - THANK YOU!
