Testimonials

"Our son, 11, was diagnosed with allergy-induced asthma at the age of two, following a terrifying 2 a.m. dash to the emergency room. He had awoken in the night having trouble catching his breath. We were referred to Dr. Myron Liebhaber of Sansum Clinic, who explained what steps we needed to take to minimize Max's symptoms. Today, my son leads a happy, active life and Dr. Liebhaber carefully monitors hiss progress on an on-going basis. This past summer was my son's 5th year at the Camp. He benefits so much from the education he receives at Camp Wheez, which has helped him become more empowered in the role he can personally take in the day-to-day management of his condition. Most importantly, the camp provides a week of energetic fun, performance and hands-on activities. My son has forged several friendships over the years through Camp Wheez and hopes to eventually become one of the volunteer counselors at the Camp! Our family is so appreciative of the support we receive from Dr. Liebhaber and Sansum Clinic."

"I'm writing to say a few words about how wonderful Camp Wheez has been for my two twin girls. Camp Wheez was a busy week filled with crafts, games, drama, and yes, learning about their asthma and how to deal with it. They LOVED camp, and begged to return. I was and continue to be blown away by the generosity of the doctors, nurses and others who volunteered their time and effort to provide a wonderful, fun, and educational week of camp for these kids."
