September’s Women with a Puprose dinner is set to Addie Hubert and her family from Florence.
When Addie Hubert was about six months old, her parents realized that she was not meeting the usual milestones. When she wasn’t sitting up on her own by eight months, her parents contacted early intervention.
At the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia she saw a neurologist, a GI, an opthamologist, and an endocrinolgist. Several of the specialists she saw recommended that her parents looked to genetics.
She finally saw a geneticist in February 2014 and currently they are leaning to a diagnosis of an extremely rare disorder called Dubowitz Syndrome.
Addie is now almost two and a half and is still not walking or talking and her parents are still waiting for definitive answers.
WWAP’s dinner to support the Hubert family is scheduled for September 29 at 6 p.m. at Central Grille, 2360 Route 33 in Robbinsville.
The cost to attend is $20 per person and includes a full dinner buffet, dessert, soft drinks, iced tea, coffee or tea. There will also be happy hour drink prices all night long.
Participants must contribute at least $10 to be given to the Hubert family.
Outside contributions for this event can be mailed to Women With A Purpose, PO Box 74, Titusville, NJ 08560. Checks should be made payable to Women With a Purpose and include “September 29 Dinner” in the memo section.
