Mental Health Matters.
There are 350 million families worldwide diagnosed with a ‘rare disease’ like sickle cell, cystic fibrosis, or Duchenne muscular dystrophy - there are 0 cures for any rare disease. Half of all patients are children and one-third of these children will not see their 5th Birthday. No family should bear this burden alone.
Your donation provides crisis counseling, mental health support, and life-sustaining community resources to Rare Mothers™ and Rare Fathers™ around the world.
Give the Gift of Wellness.
Start a Fundraiser.
Last year, ANGEL AID grew from 500 to over 5,000 families!
“A burden shared is always lightened.”
