A Hundred Dreams: Janelle | Newborn Screening Saved My Life

From a child who grew up healthy, excelled in school, and pursued her dreams to an engineer building her own future and a soon-to-be wife preparing for a new chapter in life—Janelle’s story is a testament to the life-changing impact of newborn screening. Diagnosed early through newborn screening, Janelle received the timely treatment, continuous care, and family support she needed to thrive. Today, she continues to pursue her dreams, grateful for the second chance at life that early detection made possible. Her journey reminds us that a diagnosis does not have to define a child's future. With early detection, appropriate treatment, and lifelong care, more children can grow, thrive, and fulfill their dreams. Because every child deserves the chance to dream, and every dream deserves a chance to come true. A Hundred Dreams. A Hundred Stories of Hope. Millions More to Go.
