The Heal Child Skin Disease Foundation is a non-profit organization, seeking to directly help those affected by severe skin diseases and more specifically Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). At Heal, our goal is to raise funding to sponsor children affected by such diseases. 100% of the donations we receive are allocated towards treatment of our patients.

Currently, Heal sponsors over 400 children who suffer from EB. These children are coming from low income families who cannot support their child sufficiently. With the help of our donors, Heal has managed to provide clinical services, surgeries, medical supplies, etc. for our patients. However, there is a constant need to provide our patients with the expenses required for their treatment.
