BIG bravo to the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America for providing a website full of information about allergies, food allergies and asthma all in Spanish: AAFA Spanish Translated Website! Consider sharing this link with your school nurses, coaches, support group members, etc. What tickled me was to see access to my most favorite and coveted workbooks in Spanish, “You can Control Asthma™” and “Asthma Basics Handbook for Parents” Workbooks! I received a few copies of these and dole them out as if they are gold. It’s really, really hard to find good materials in Spanish! You can even discover advocacy information to learn more about how to get involved – all in Spanish. Actually, while cleaning out my support group storage the other day, I discovered a few extra and shared them with my local American Lung Association office since I know they’ll soon be receiving asthma calls due to poor air quality from wild fires and cold season coming upon us.

Since we’re talking about AAFA today, I thought I would mention that they are hosting a contest the Clean up and Win Contest from Sept 18th through October 16th. Enter to win an Asthma and Allergy Certified Dyson D65 vacuum. Click on this link and complete the form on facebook. I just love contests and can never pass them up.
Happy Wednesday!
Please note: AAFA did not request me to share today’s blog post information. My goal is to share items that my readers might find valuable or of interest.
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
Great post and thanks for sharing it! See you at the Food-Allergy Bloggers Conference in Vegas this weekend!
