Every Little Bit Adds Up

 By Arnold and Lucy Padilla

Our commitment to be involved with the Loeys Dietz Syndrome Foundation stems from our personal experience.  Our grandson, Noah Padilla has Loeys Dietz Syndrome. He has had twelve surgeries thus far and we have been there for him every step of the way.  We choose to be involved in fundraising not just for Noah, but for all individuals (and their families) suffering with this syndrome.  There are no short cuts! It takes money for research and we want to be part of trying to make a difference.  We have been able to see the dedication that Dr. Dietz has invested in research for all of the different aspects of this syndrome and we are forever grateful.  If this family can raise money to help those suffering, we feel we can prevent losing another LDS Warrior and that is our ultimate mission.  

Sometimes we think we have to do big things to make a difference.  This is simply not true! Just remember that it all adds up!  Every little bit.  We have sold cookies, pasta, created go-fund me campaigns, made recurring donations in Noah’s honor, and even sold chocolate bars.   There are so many other things that can be done.  Most people like donating when they know the story behind the donation.  We have to be the voice for our warriors to try and give them a fighting chance!   Some fight everyday through some kind of pain and we choose to march on with them.  Join the fight and help raise money and awareness with us.  Noah Padilla has us to fight for him. Won’t you fight alongside us too?
