Every child and young adult battling Duchenne deserves the equipment, access to the best care, and the resources that they need. Every family deserves support and partnership so they don’t have to navigate a complex medical system alone.
The Duchenne Family Assistance Program provides personalized assistance, guidance and financial support to individuals and families affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Thank you for helping make Seph's accessible bathroom a reality!! What a blessing and relief it is to be able to move safely in a space large enough for both of us without worry of falling...Team Joseph is a blessing to the Duchenne Community!
Duchenne is progressive and aggressive. It’s a tough, emotional journey and it shouldn’t be made worse because you’re fighting financial battles or going without important medical services and equipment when they’re not covered by insurance.
Whether you need direct financial assistance for travel to clinic appointments, equipment or home modifications, you have an unexpected urgent need, or you're just looking for guidance and mentoring, we’re here for you.
Denise's Triumph: A Story of Love, Strength, and Community Support
Meet Denise, a remarkable single mother whose journey has been a testament to resilience and unwavering love. Her world took an unexpected turn when her son, Elliott, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Faced with unimaginable challenges, Denise's strength and love became a guiding light through the darkest moments.
In the face of adversity, Denise found hope and support through the kindness of a community that rallied behind her. YOU, along with our collaboration with Walking Strong, played a pivotal role in transforming a dream into reality for this brave family.
Thanks to your generous support, a wheelchair-accessible van has become more than just a vehicle for Denise and Elliott—it's a key to freedom, independence, and joy. This transformative gift has opened doors to new possibilities, making daily life more manageable and bringing immeasurable happiness to the entire family.
Denise, overwhelmed with gratitude, shared her feelings: "I’m over the moon; I can’t begin to express what this means for my family! Thank you all so very much for the best Christmas present I could ever ask for! ❤️
"As we embark on the journey of 2024, let's make this year our most impactful yet in bringing dreams to life. Your contributions have not only brightened Denise and Elliott's world but have also inspired a ripple effect of positivity and hope.
Together, we can create a chain of kindness that touches the lives of families like Denise's. Every act of compassion creates a ripple effect, and we invite you to continue changing lives and inspiring others to join this journey of love and support.
Join us in making a difference—because, in the tapestry of humanity, your kindness is the thread that weaves a story of hope and resilience. Let's continue to change lives and create a brighter, more compassionate world for all.
Through the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporate supporters, we have given over $850,000 in support to 700 families all over the country.
