What do people think about CHUMS?

"LET IT BE KNOWN, That it is a great pleasure to offer highest tribute to Susan L. Rehmus who has founded the Children's Hope for Understanding Multiple Sclerosis (CHUMS) program, a support group for the children of MS sufferers.....IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, therefore, this document is signed and dedicated to offer an accolade of praise and commendation to Susan L. Rehmus. May she know of our highest esteem and best wishes for continued success in her future endeavors."

Michael J. Goschka, State of Michigan Representative, 94th District
and
Governor John Engler, State of Michigan

 

"Sue is a highly motivated individual and is a very good communicator. Her educational background and personal experience has well-prepared her for work with human services and those with multiple sclerosis, especially as it relates to family members and children of those with MS."

Richard Powell
Former Chapter Services Manager
National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Michigan Chapter, Eastern Region

 

"The CHUMS program is excellent! Sue Rehmus has put together and presented a wonderful program and added a needed component to the MS Society. Her insights derived from personal experience of having lived in a family affected by MS have given hope to other children and their parents through the CHUMS program. I am confident that CHUMS will improve the health of children and their families where ever it is presented."

Daniel D. Fachting, Ph.D.

 

"This site is packed with information in an easily understood form. You have really captured the most important information to share with families and children. Even if only a small portion of the material is used, at least families will begin to communicate about a very scary, debilitating disease. Talking about an activity is often easier than just sitting and sharing feelings, but the same goal is accomplished. This is really a worthwhile project, and it is obvious it comes from your heart."

Marcia Shannon
Professor of Nursing
Saginaw Valley State University

 

"I am impressed with the topics and comprehensive nature of
this web site. It looks great, is easy to understand and move through. The objective of reaching the children seems really pertinent and this provides tools for parents to help their children. Great work."

Marcia Fuhrhop
Program Director, Inpatient Rehabilitation
Covenant HealthCare

 

"Your article helped me realize that I am not alone and there are other teenagers experiencing what I am. One of the hardest things for me to do is accept this disease.....I am scared that one of these days when my mom gets really bad and I'm going to need someone to talk to and there won't be anyone there. That is why I am so eager to get involved with CHUMS. I desperately want to meet other kids who understand how I'm feeling. I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are starting such a much-needed program."

Carol Bickel, Millington, Michigan

 

"Having MS, I wanted to thank you for doing this. I found your publication very interesting and informative. I am going to take it to work with me so that the people I work with can have a better understanding of MS.....I would like to thank you. The service you are providing is beneficial to young people and, for that matter, people of all ages, to help them understand MS."

Patti Marsh, Olivet, Michigan

 

"I wish you very much luck with a VERY worthwhile cause for children, they are affected a lot more than we realize.....Keep fighting, Sue, we need you!"

Vickie Richmond, Ft. Myers, Florida
