We need you!

Like our support group, ShortCuts is a newsletter created by parents for parents. This means that, in order for it to work, we need you! We’re working now on our Fall 2010 newsletter and we need your input.

We are looking for articles and suggestions for product reviews, tips & tricks, questions and responses in our Q&A section, and stories of your experiences living with a child with Short Gut.

If you are interested in helping with the publication of our newsletter, please contact support@shortgutsupport.com
