Caroline is Why We Give to Champions Society

Getting pregnant was not easy for my husband and me. We knew we needed help. That’s what we did. Taking my prenatal vitamins under the care of my physician, our daughter was a planned pregnancy. We finally conceived; we were over-the-moon with excitement. At our 20-week check-up, we discovered our daughter, Caroline, would be born with Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus and Arnold Chiari Type II Malformation. We learned everything about her diagnosis. Upon her birth, her team of medical providers became like family. We’ve continued to nurture those relationships so that she receives the best care possible.

That’s why we give.

We give to Prisma Health Children’s Hospital—Midlands because we know everyone does not have access to the resources my husband and I have. We give because we not only want the best care for our daughter; we want to make sure that every child in South Carolina receives excellent care, too.
