Today is World Humanitarian Day! The aim of World Humanitarian Day is to celebrate the people who dedicate their lives to helping people and raise awareness of humanitarian assistance on a global scale. This year’s campaign theme is “It Takes a Village.”
When we started the Foundation in 1987, our goal was to ensure that stories like Jeffrey’s would become rare. Since then, thousands of children with life-threatening conditions have been screened, diagnosed, treated, and sometimes, cured! Thirty-five years later, we are more committed than ever to our mission of hope, advocacy, and action to save more precious lives.
Today, and every day, you can support the work of the Foundation in the following ways:
- Sign up to be a plasma donor – plasma saves lives!
- Share your story and experience with PI to encourage public awareness
- Donate to our cause to support innovative research grants and discoveries
- Use your voice – if your country doesn’t participate in Newborn Screening yet, speak up to encourage action!
We will continue to support the brilliant and compassionate doctors, the tender, loving expert nurses, the dedicated researchers, the brave and courageous families, our supportive donors, the quiet, unsung heroes working days and nights in their labs, and most of all, the patients who inspire us, propel us, and compel us to continue on our incredible journey.
