Help Find A Cure For Hyper IgM Syndrome!

Donate today and help us cure Hyper IgM Syndrome! All Donations Matched up to $7,000!

Join us in celebrating Idan’s 11th birthday and 7th transplant anniversary!

Every passing year fills us with immense gratitude for the successful transplant that gave Idan a functioning immune system and the ability to lead a normal life. It's hard to believe that it has already been seven years since Idan received the life-saving donor cells. This summer, he will embark on a journey to a sleep-away camp, something we could never have envisioned during his days with a defective immune system. Over the past seven years, Idan has transformed from a boy confined to a protective bubble into a thriving, sociable young man eagerly anticipating new and exciting adventures. We couldn't be happier for him, and our deepest wish is that every child living with Hyper IgM Syndrome can have the opportunity to experience a normal life like Idan.

The Hyper IgM Foundation is unwaveringly committed to providing support to families affected by Hyper IgM Syndrome and driving forward the search for a cure. Our mission holds even greater significance today. Thanks to your past support, we have been able to finance groundbreaking gene-editing research aimed at finding a cure for Hyper IgM Syndrome. Currently, we are actively collaborating with laboratories worldwide, spanning from Los Angeles to Milan, to explore gene-editing treatments and ultimately discover a definitive cure.

In just 7 years, Idan’s army alone helped us raise over $95,000. This goes a long way in supporting the Foundation and the research grants we provide. Importantly, the Foundation is helping to fund cutting-edge gene-editing research that will hopefully provide a safe and long-lasting cure for Hyper IgM Syndrome. This year the board of the Hyper IgM Foundation has approved a $100,000 research grant program to increase the push to find a cure for Hyper IgM Syndrome.

Today, we ask you to help us bring this future closer and make a donation in honor of Idan’s 7th Transplantversary. You’ve helped us fight for our son Idan before. Help us fight for other children just like him now.

Our objective this summer is to raise $20,000 as a tribute to Idan's recovery and to provide vital support to the Hyper IgM Foundation. By reaching this goal, the Foundation can significantly enhance its research grants dedicated to gene therapy labs, thus expediting progress toward a cure. Amanda and I are personally committed to matching the initial $7,000 donated to Idan's campaign, whether through this platform or on Facebook. By donating today, your contribution will have double the impact.

Please donate today and help us cure Hyper IgM Syndrome!

You can donate on Idan’s campaign page on Network For Good. We know things have been tough due to inflation and the rise in cost of living. Please consider sharing our campaign in lieu of a donation as this goes very far to bring us to our goal.


More about the Hyper IgM Foundation:

The Hyper IgM Foundation aims to improve outcomes and quality of life for Hyper IgM patients and their families through promoting and supporting research, creating and providing educational tools for the patient and physician communities, and creating a community to support Hyper IgM patients and their families as they undergo treatment and cope with this disease. Between Akiva’s extensive experience in public health, Amanda’s legal background in healthcare and nonprofit law, our fellow board member Dr. David Hagin’s cutting-edge research into gene editing for Hyper IgM, and our scientific advisory committee that consists of the foremost experts on Hyper IgM in the world, we are confident that we can make a tremendous impact.

We hope you can join us again in support of a cause that will impact the lives of many children and adults living with HIGM.
