The chILD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization based in Cleveland, OH, dedicated to providing support, education, and hope for a cure to families with children battling rare pediatric lung diseases known as Children's Interstitial Lung Disease (chILD). With over 30 disorders falling under the chILD umbrella, the foundation's mission is to fund vital research that offers children and their families hope, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure. By supporting the chILD Foundation, individuals can make a profound impact on the lives of these children and their families who struggle for each breath.
Through funding research for treatment and cures, documenting diseases and patients, educating medical professionals, and supporting chILD families, the chILD Foundation aims to be a partner in hope and advocacy. With less than 10,000 estimated cases in the U.S., chILD disorders are considered true orphan diseases, often overlooked due to their rarity. However, the foundation emphasizes that every breath matters, and with the help of donations and support, they can continue to fight back against these rare lung diseases and make a difference in the lives of these children.
