FREE BOOK IF YOU DONATE NOW
"The Trials and Triumphs of a Food Allergy Family"
Author Susan Weissman visited our Metro-Boston support group recently and shared stories from her fabulous memoir Feeding Eden, a mother's story of how childhood food allergies affected the life of her son and her family.
Topics covered by the book include: becoming her son's health care advocate; investigating various treatments; attempts to find safe yet satisfying food for her family; her struggles to convey the severity of her son's health issue without sounding "crazy" and how she has maintained her own sanity. 
Susan Weissman donated some copies of her book to share with you. We have only ONE COPY left to send to the first person who donates $100.00 to AAFA New England.

Take Action! 

 

Your child needs an 

Asthma Action Plan!

An Asthma Action Plan is the tool you need to help keep your child healthy.

 Your school nurse needs an Asthma Action Plan to take better care of your child.

 

 If you haven't already done so, make an appointment with your child's doctor and give a copy of your child's current written Asthma Action Plan to the school nurse.

 Be sure to have an updated plan ready to give the school nurse at the start of the new school year!
