Support Dominique’s journey and Xia-Gibbs Research

Donation protected
Dominique, born in November '21, was diagnosed with Xia-Gibbs Syndrome in August '22. This rare genetic disorder affects fewer than 500 people worldwide. Dominique faces numerous challenges, including being non-verbal, weak muscle tone (hypotonia), intellectual impairment, delayed development, and weak eyesight. Despite daily efforts, professional support is crucial for her optimal development.

Our Mission:
We are raising £15,000 for Dominique's essential treatments in 2024, which we aim to split equally in-between Dominique’s immediate treatment and xia-gibbs research.

Each trip for Dominique’s international treatments costs £7000, and we plan 2 visits this year. Intensive physiotherapy abroad led to significant progress, underscoring the importance of these interventions.

In addition, we are raising awareness and funds for crucial research into Xia-Gibbs Syndrome, contributing to a brighter future for Dominique and others affected by this condition.

Donations:
Your support through donations is crucial in making a difference. All contributions will be split equally, with 50% going towards Xia-Gibbs Syndrome research and the remaining 50% helping fund Dominique’s treatment. This dual impact ensures that we not only advance scientific understanding and potential cures but also provide immediate assistance to Dominique and our family.

If you prefer your donation to go entirely towards research or Dominique’s treatment, simply leave a note with your contribution:

• ‘XGS’ for research-only donations
• ‘Domi’ for donations directed solely to Dominique’s treatment

How You Can Help:
Your support can make a profound impact on Dominique’s life. Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings us closer to a brighter future for Dominique and others who suffer from xia-gibbs syndrome.

Thank you for your compassion and support.
