"Tubie Friends™ was started by a group of moms whose children have been or are currently using a feeding tube as a primary source of nutrition. We’ve seen what a comfort a Tubie Friend™ can be during a hospital stay, procedure or just when they need a friend. In addition to bringing comfort to the child, these Tubie Friends™ can also be used as a teaching tool for family, friends and caregivers. Our goal is to take the fear out of feeding tubes, one Tubie Friend™ at a time."
Faith & Friends' Vice President, Ann, is a Tubie Friends™ Surgeon, and Faith has Tubie Friend, Bearamy.
