"Sarah,We all can't thank you enough for everything. You were a wealth of information and a very interesting speaker. Everyone commented how great you did.We are ever so grateful for all your pamphlets too and now more great stuff you added here! I will pass the nurse stuff on to all of the nurses including the ones who could not come. And I intend to pass along your website to all of our food allergy parents. -Please keep in touch!"

"I am thankful for Sarah Albert. Sarah has been my partner in crime for two asthma and allergy presentations now, and I must say, we make a pretty awesome team. As a former teacher and the mom of a child with severe food allergies, she's opened my eyes to new perspectives on how we can be welcoming and inclusive for my children's future classmates and friends. Sarah is easy to approach and she's passionate (two of my favorite traits in a person). Yet, she knows how to respect someone's viewpoints while at the same time recognizing that she doesn't agree with them and/or they won't work for her family. I truly enjoy every conversation I have with her, and I look forward to our next asthma/allergy talk, whenever and wherever it might be!"

"THANK YOU for organizing it (504 workshop)!! I learned a LOT and have so many new questions/issues I need to pursue relative to my son's education." -Kathy S.
Regarding the Food & Nutritions Symposium-
"That was an amazing opportunity. I learned so much. Thank you for setting that up!" -Kasie G.
"Wow. You provide a GREAT resource for families in Kansas City ~ and beyond. I really appreciate your kind words about my cartoons, and hope other parents find joy through my silly drawings. Finding online food allergy resources, support, and similar families really helped me tackle our new allergen free life. I'm grateful to people like you, who help strangers because you CAN. Thanks for all that you do." -Tiffany Glass Ferreira (aka foodallergyfun.com)
"Thank you very much. Molly and I both feel this workshop opened our minds to understand the dangers of allergies. Lots of useful information to absorb.
Thanks again."

A Fantastic Web Site!!!
You've Got to Check This One Out!
Food Allergy Fun
I stumbled upon a FANTASTIC website that actually mixes art and fun with food allergies
I wrote to the creater, and she is a fun, funny, creative woman who truley "gets it."
From her site:
by Tiffany Glass Ferreira Food Allergy + Art + Fun was founded to share creative inspiration inspired by food allergies. My son's first birthday ended with an ambulance when we discovered his egg allergy. Since then, we've totally changed our lives to avoid exposure to common foods, including eggs, milk, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish and peanuts.
I make art to spread awareness about food allergies, to teach my children about food safety and to share joys we've discovered along the way. I'm hoping to connect with other people who share our situation and find inspiration in the challenges.
Questions or comments, please email iknowtiffany@gmail.com
