Elsie Mae

It’s every parent’s nightmare. It tears your whole world apart. At first you can’t deal with the diagnosis. You can’t believe it. You feel that there’s nothing you can do. You have no control. Illness like cancer robs children of their childhood. Before she was sick, Elsie Mae was a bundle of energy. David and Richella called her their little “firecracker.”

Childhood stops for seriously ill children. At Barretstown we Press Play on childhood.

Families always talk of how a diagnosis of serious illness means that normal family life stops, everything becomes about the sick child and the fight to save their life. Barretstown helps children and their families deal with the emotional and physiological scars often left after months and years of treatment. Hospitals treat the illness but Barretstown treats the child.
