Story
Emergency Appeal!
With Kawasaki Disease hitting the headlines like never before during the Covid-19 pandemic, weve been flooded with questions and concerns from worried families, anxious parents and people of all ages with a history of Kawasaki Disease. Were working to respond to media enquiries coming in every day from all over the world - and theres an URGENT need to get trusted FACTS shared quickly to educate doctors and reassure worried families.
As a small charity we are **struggling** to cope. With no Government funding or grant support at all, we are completely reliant on donations and fundraisers. Right now our resources are at an all-time low! Yet our work to protect children from Kawasaki Disease, the LEADING cause of acquired heart disease in UK children, has NEVER been more important.
We MUST continue! We URGENTLY need to:
Keep helping worried parents and affected families
Provide URGENTLY needed support to doctors in hospitals where there are Covid-19 clusters - helping them diagnose Kawasaki Disease correctly and quickly
Share and promote trusted medical advice - QUICKLY!
Get Kawasaki Disease known!! To make sure that children affected dont get overlooked, with devastating consequences, in the Covid-19 crisis
Respond carefully and factually to media and press enquiries
Be a strong voice in UK and Ireland research work to help understand Covid-19 and Paediatric Inflammation Multisystem Syndrome (PIMS)
We simply CANT do this alone. We NEED YOUR HELP NOW!
Please help us protect children's tiny hearts!! They need you, we need you NOW! Please donate ! THANK YOU!
