“I had never known anyone who had life-threatening food allergies, so I didn’t understand it. I didn’t realize that’s what was happening to my son until we were heading to the ER. I felt blindsided.” – Rene, mom
Fifteen years ago, Rene was in shock as she carried Ian’s limp, purple body into the emergency room.* He was unresponsive and barely breathing. She knew he was having an allergic reaction to something he ate at his first birthday party earlier that evening. But she didn’t fully understand that Ian was experiencing anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction.
An internet search lead Rene to Kids With Food Allergies. The recipes, resources and community support were a turning point that helped make managing food allergies a lot less stressful.
With the help of KFA’s resources, Ian is now a teenager who manages his own peanut allergy while eagerly using his knowledge to help others. For Rene and Ian, finding KFA’s resources were truly life-saving.
