Thanks to Beiersdorf {the makers of aquphor and eucerin} and their medical donation program, Christmas started early at our house this year! I woke up to not one, but TWO boxes of lotion on my doorstep this morning. :)
When I called and ordered Wyatt's aquaphor last week I mentioned to the lady I was talking to that Wyatt had begun to use their Calming Cream. I asked if he could qualify to receive that through their program as well if we got a letter from his dr. as we did for the aquaphor. She said yes and did I want to wait for her to send out the shipment so that she could include the calming cream? I told her if she would please just ship out the aquaphor, that I would call again when I was able to get the new letter from Wyatt's dr. {who is amazing btw and had the letter emailed to me by the next day!} Anyway, that nice lady went ahead and just sent me the lotion anyway! Merry Christmas to us!
I am so grateful to Beiersdorf and their willingness to help those in unusual circumstances. If it weren't for them we would have to spend a GRIP on lotions every week. The approximate value of what they just sent is $300! That aquaphor should last a little over a month and I'm not sure how long the lotion will last as I've just started using it, but they really are making a big difference in our lives.
Thanks Beiersdorf!
This company is absolutely incredible. It is the only one that I know of that makes it a company policy to help out families with rare disorders. Several of the others donate to charities and support marathons and offer grants as conference sponsors, and some offer discounts to members of charities, but Beiersdorf is the ONLY one that sends products for free to high-use families.
ReplyDeleteCetaphil sent us a 6 month supply a month or so ago, but it wasn't a program like this, it was because they have a sponsorship relationship with the camp that my kids attend. It was a one-time thing. I am very grateful for the help, no matter how it comes, but wow, could you imagine if Aveeno and Cetaphil and other companies had similar programs?
Glad you posted this Jessica! I'm going to make sure to start buying stuff from them in a show of support for this program!
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful companies and make wonderful products, glad to hear they are working for Wyatt.
