KDI employees share a moment with Emily and the Anderson family <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year Nemours matched KDI with the Anderson family. Emily is a 12-year-old girl who is medically complex with an amazing, spunky attitude and spirit. She was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Cytopathy, which causes difficulties for her each day. She has fought the symptoms of her disease since birth and requires 12 medications twice a day to maintain her current state. She depends on tube feedings of molecular formula and glucose therapy into her intestines as well as the mito cocktail. There sadly is no cure for Mitochondrial disease. KDI also collected holiday cards for Emily from employees at their holiday party which were presented to her mother to help brighten her day while she was recovering from surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the social worker from the hospital had said this great company, KDI, wanted to help with some gift cards, I could have never imagined what a generous gift we would receive,\u201d said Emily\u2019s mom. \u201cAmazon gift cards were absolutely perfect as we order monthly supplements and the cost is not covered by insurance. Emily also picked some very thoughtful gifts for her sisters. I absolutely love that she thought of others first!!! Emily\u2019s spirits were lifted as she was able to read each and every card with handwritten encouragement and praise. She has already read them several times and keeps them close by. It means the world to her, just to be thought of, we cannot thank you enough!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to have been able to make a difference in Emily’s life,\u201d said Rick Salcedo, KDI president and CEO. \u201cWe are so happy to be able to give back to our community by way of helping a family each year. I can\u2019t thank our team enough for their generosity, this year raising $3,000. Year-after-year we ask for contributions for this wonderful cause and their generosity is boundless. I\u2019m very proud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
