Care Beyond The Scope Of Medicine
Livvy Stubenrauch – official, the actress and voice of young Anna in the movie Frozen, wanted her mom to share this story with us: “My mom (Livvy’s Grandma) and Livvy were taking care of the pool in the complex where they stay in LA yesterday afternoon.

“The feeling of pride… was heart bursting”
From a Dragonfly Volunteer who has earned her wings many times over — most recently, by helping us with Kings Island’s Kicks Cancer Fundraiser: I just wanted to drop a note and say how much we enjoyed working at Kings Island yesterday.

“Does anyone else ever wonder when enough is enough?”
From a Dragonfly Mom: “Does anyone else ever wonder when enough is enough? The constant doctors appointments for all different issues.

We finally took her to her pediatrician, who didn’t seem too concerned but referred us to see a neurologist, who then send us for an MRI at Children’s Hospital the next day. We had …
A family in NJ misses us… Wish we were there!
A Dragonfly Family who benefited from Dragonfly while in Cincinnati for treatment wrote: “The kids are so funny they point out dragonflies everywhere and people look and ask them why dragonflies are so special. We also think the ones we see are the dragonflies that have left the earth and come back to give the ones still here comfort and …
Happy 5th Birthday To Us!
There are many non-profits doing good work, but there are also many that come and go, or that don’t make an impact. The Dragonfly Foundation is proud to celebrate 5 years of transformational programs that have made an immediate difference for young patients, families and the hospitals we serve. To view information about our size and scope, or to learn …
Dear Dragonfly Family
“Dragonfly Family, I have been meaning to write this note for some time…. In the beginning of the summer I was doing a lot of reflection on our summer last year. How hard it was to take E to the pool and watch her look so sick and deal with all the stares and whispers from people around us. In …
