Infection Stories

Every child’s journey is different. No two infections, experiences, or treatment plans are the same. These brave parents and kids are sharing their stories so you can understand how STEC and harmful bacteria changes lives. By learning more, we can prevent the spread and support our children. We ask that you hold space for their trauma and respect their vulnerability.

Who we have impacted

Cyndee Adkins

"Parker's Promise helped calm my fears in the middle of the storm and gave me guidance when I didn’t know what to do next. They shared things to watch for, ways to support his healing, and most importantly, they gave me peace when everything felt uncertain. I am so grateful this organization exists for families going through something like this. No parent should have to walk through something so terrifying alone, and because of Parker’s Promise, we didn’t have to."

Arica Evridge

"I just want to say how thankful I am for Parker's Promise. They have been so nice to my family and me. They helped me along the way. They would tell me what was going to happen before it happened and what to expect. Just have been Angels! I honestly don't know if I would have gotten through without them. I will be forever grateful to them. They sent my daughter balloons and a care package, and then tonight they sent us groceries at the hospital. I can never thank them enough!"

Kadin Gilboy

"My sweet baby! I appreciate Parker's Promise so much! For every question answered, advice given, prayer spoken, check up on us, and just words of encouragement/praise during the process. They have helped me through this whole situation and have shown us so much love!"

Summer Pacheco

"I’m in tears as a write this. Whenever I posted that Jeremiah had Shiga Toxin Ecoli, Morgan Stine reached out to me, her son was one of the 14 that caught it from lucky Ladd farms last year, she immediately called and told me everything to expect and the to do and not to dos. We’ve been in contact since and today her and her kids brought Jeremiah and I all of these things that were also donated by 3 other families. Jeremiah loves every bit of it, and all he’s asked for since he got here was some goldfish. The look on his face when he seen everything was absolutely priceless. God has blessed us."

Kirsten Leal

"My good friend from LMU started Parker’s Promise, a nonprofit to help those affected with Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) and Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). My niece had a strain of this and was hospitalized. I reached out to Morgan and she was able to help out immediately. Avery made a quick recovery with Morgan’s help. Thank goodness for Parker’s Promise"

Kelly Little

"I know personally what their care packages did for our little boys during Beckham’s sickness. Not to mention what an advocate she was to our whole family."

 

 

Danielle Woll

"Parker's Promise has been there to support us and other families through our STEC HUS illness. They have messaged, called, guided and supported our family. I can’t thank them enough for everything."

Brittany O'Day

"Hattie had a big surprise this morning from Parker's Promise. I know God had his hand in connecting us together and supporting us through all this. Their organization spreads awareness of the E. coli Shiga Toxin infection and HUS. They have checked in on how Hattie is doing daily and answers my endless questions. For anyone that wants to understand this infection more, please check out their page. They are truly amazing."

Kim Brown

"Parker's Promise had these balloons sent to Bentley which made his day!"

Regina Underwood

"Thank you so much to Parker's Promise for sending the girls each a care package. They absolutely love the goodies and it definitely lifts the spirits of being in the hospital and continued doctors visits and lab work. Hopefully soon we can get some normalcy back."

Joey Smith

"We want to send a huge Thank You out to Parker's Promise for the wonderful care package that was sent to Blake. He is continuing to improve everyday and was super excited to receive this. Look at that smile. Little sister wanted to be in the picture."

Kaitlyn Slover

Dear Parker's Promise,
We cannot thank you enough for all the support and prayers while Keagan was in the hospital. We are forever grateful for the constant check-ins, help, question answering, and everything in between. HUS is a horrible thing but we are so glad Chelsea put you in our lives. Keagan is still playing with her unicorn stuffy as well as all the other sweet gifts. Keagan continues to improve and we are so thankful!

Ashley Walters

Huge shoutout to Parker's Promise for being there every step of the way for my daughter and I the past two weeks! I seriously could not have fought so hard for her without your help! Parker’s Promise also sent two balloon surprises for Ramona while she was in hospital and had countless others praying. You were definitely sent by God on assignment! Thank you will never be enough.
“For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.”
Psalm 91:11

Katy Little

You have saved more than just lives, you have been family's rock through their battles. God has lead you to your calling and more. Thankful to have connected with you and your family."
