The Treatment Exists!!? We just Need to Fund it
A life-saving treatment is already real. It’s not a distant dream. It exists - just not yet for Pyruvate Carboxylase Deficiency. The science is there. The breakthrough has happened. Now, we need the funding to bring it to Kiana and children like her.
This isn’t about waiting for a cure to be discovered - it’s about taking action to make it available. Every dollar brings us closer to the moment this treatment can save lives.
We can see it. We can reach it. But we can’t do it without you.
