Episode 7: "A Lot of Parallels Between Our Lives"

November 30, 2020 • Tasha Tolliver and Nancy Szakacsy • Season 1 • Episode 5

From opposite ends of the U.S., two mothers share a common bond. They both know what it’s like to sit at a child’s hospital bedside, desperately searching the world over for the medical information that could save their daughter’s life.

When the resources they needed weren’t available, they took matters into their own hands to create them.

While working through their grief, these mothers have bonded in their mission to create better awareness of DRESS syndrome and support others who suffer from it –beginning with a foundation, social media, and public outreach projects.
