Akiro lives with pain no child should have to endure
Every morning, Akiro wakes up knowing that even the slightest touch can open a new wound on their skin. Bathing, changing clothes, or even lying down will hurt.
Akiro lives with epidermolysis bullosa, a rare disease that makes the skin extremely fragile. Wounds, blisters, and pain are part of every day.
Every day, Akiro needs special bandages, pain medicine, and supplies to protect their wounds. When any of these are missing, the pain gets worse and a wound can become an infection.
The family caring for Akiro does everything possible to get these supplies, but tomorrow Akiro will need bandages again, will need medicine again, will need another dressing change, and they cannot do it alone...
Today, your donation can become the supplies Akiro needs to have a day with less pain.
We cannot take the disease away, but we can help make sure Akiro has the care needed to face it.
Please donate today. Akiro needs our help.
