What BAAM means to us

Emery Cruz

  It’s nice to know you are not the only one dealing with a unique situation. Being able to bounce ideas and get advice from those who have already gone through what you are experiencing in our own journey makes it easier to have a piece of mind. And to know that everything will be ok in the end. 

Layci Schuld

It's like one giant family. You have people who have been in your exact same shoes, rooting for your child to succeed just as much as you are. It's nice to have people who have been there and been through the triumphs and struggles. You feel a little less alone in this world of unknown.

Drew Hammond

"When Esme was born we felt alone as parents dealing with such a unique condition. Through this group we have already meet up or spoke with some other parents dealing with BA and their amazing children and adult with BA that have offered support to us as a family"

Katie Kennett

"It's so nice to find a place that you can talk about your experiences and worries around bilateral anophthalmia and to have the support that is hard to find elsewhere also where Esme can come for support when she's older"

Marion Masek

"Feeling normal! Because you have others to relate to."

Sheila Potter

"Just knowing there are others to talk to. Or you can help others. New parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles or their friends.

It can be a lonely place to be. 

Make friends with others who understand. So very important."
