Slide 2: What happened over Sophia Herzog Sachs’ four years of life was nothing short of extraordinary. As her family reached out for help after a diagnosis of Niemann-Pick Disease, Type A, the walls between people, disciplines, and geographic boundaries dissolved— fostering compassion, integration, collaboration and creativity. In this supportive family-centered environment, people’s hearts were free to break open, and a healing community was born. Now, imagine a world where all families of children with life threatening are not alone—a world where the collective healing wisdom of humanity is accessible to all, especially children thought to be incurable, and where families find strength, hope and healing through their communities. Healing in Community Online™ An integrated, Web-based survival kit for families of children with life threatening conditions that informs, supports and enables families to harness the power of community to address all of their needs—physical, emotional, financial, social, cultural and spiritual.
