Project: "Food Allergy Friendship"


I had an idea a few weeks ago to unite other food allergy moms that was inspired out my friendship with another food allergy, Michelle. This friendship has taught me just how important it is to have a connection with another food allergy moms.

I know many of my readers do not know any other moms that face the struggles a food allergy mom faces. They have no one that really understands the unique challenges they face each day. I would like to help that change.

Project: "Food Allergy Friendship"

Project: "Food Allergy Friendship" is a program that I am starting for the readers of this blog. If you want to connect with another food allergy mom, this is for you!

I will start a database of readers that are interested in participating in the program and will attempt to connect two food allergy moms in hopes of a friendship developing.

Below is a questionnaire that I will ask anyone that is interested in participating in the project to fill out. Some of the questions are a little detailed. You do not have to answer any questions that you do not want (i.e. your location). Each question is an attempt on my part to connect you with another mom (hopefully geographically close to you) that has a child with similar food allergies and other personal similarities.

What you would like in a food allergy mom friendship:

Other information you would like to share:

For those who wish to participate, please send an email to peanutallergykid AT gmail DOT com with answers to these questions. I will acknowledge your email and then put you into a database.

Once I have several moms (hopefully that won't take long!), I will match two moms up based on their answers to these questions. Once I have a match for you, I will email you your allergy mom's (or dad's) information. I will then leave it up to you and the other mom (or dad) to connect.

I would love to post some testimonies from this program uniting food allergy moms and dads soon!
