WORLD IBD DAY MAY 19TH

Today, A Mother’s Wish Foundation, along with all of you, celebrates World IBD Day. This is a day we hope to raise awareness of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis on behalf of the more than 10 million people worldwide living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

 

Our foundation works tirelessly to raise awareness so that the world can truly understand how unbelievably debilitating Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis can be. And we simply cannot do that without your support.

 

So today, if you know and love someone with IBD, please help them get one step closer to living a life without this chronic, life-long illness by doing one or all of the following:

 

💟research and understand the true meaning of IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)

 

💟send your loved one a special note letting them know you are proud of their fight against IBD

 

💟like & share this post as well as encourage your friends to follow us

 

💟reach out to us letting us know how you would like to help by getting involved with our foundation (p.s. our foundation’s board is made up of local moms whose life has been greatly impacted by IBD and we’d love to have you join us!)

 

💟commit to joining us this fall for our virtual auction in October or in the spring of 2022 for our next run/walk

 

💟head to www.amotherswishfoundation.org to make a donation today and learn about all the ways we support individuals and research

TALOTTA FAMILY TURNS SADNESS INTO A DEDICATION TO LOVED ONES SUFFERING FROM CROHN’S DISEASE & ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Emilia Talotta passed away on April 1, 2021 at the age of 97. She was the beloved wife of the late Giuseppe, devoted mother of 3, loving ‘Nonna’ to 9 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. She is the grandmother of our board member, Sabrina, as well as the namesake & great grandmother to our own Crohn’s warrior, Emilia Marsilio. Additionally, Emilia Talotta was the grandmother to Crohn’s warrior, Cathy Capper, and Colitis warrior, Jenn Talotta.

In lieu of flowers the family requested contributions be made to A Mother’s Wish Foundation. The outpouring of love and support has been astounding. We thank you all for your donations which help to support ongoing research and education!!
