You and I helped nine patients with severe immune abnormalities!

Baby Sumaya is eight months old. And she's spent most of her life in hospitals. "Pneumonias, intensive care, a month on ventilator and total darkness on X-rays," her mom says. Sumaya has a genetic immune breakdown - she was born without natural defenses and cannot fight off infections. Little is known about the subtype of immunodeficiency suspected in the girl - it is a very rare anomaly. Getting information about this disease is important both for Sumaya's future and for advancing research into genetics. Without proper treatment, most children with this diagnosis die from severe complications - the babies are not helped in time. Therefore, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis and start treatment as soon as possible. Genetic tests can stop time and help patients. Both children and adults need such diagnostics. It is the only chance to confirm the diagnosis, prescribe medication and start therapy. It is also an opportunity for families with an already established diagnosis to plan healthy offspring with the help of prenatal diagnostics. We are raising funds to pay for tests for Sumaya and other patients with severe immune disorders. So that they can undergo important tests, receive treatment and a chance for a long and fulfilling life without pain.
