Hope for Little David's Fight Against Niemann-Pick

Donation protected
I am raising funds for my cousin’s son. His name is David. He is currently 3 years old and has been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Neiman Pick. This disorder is so rare that there is currently no cure. Children who are diagnosed with this disorder don’t live long. David is in Armenia and there is no cure or treatments available to him. He is living his tiny life in pain every day. There is some hope though. The family has been in contact with doctors in Dubai as well as the United States. We now need your help collecting funds and helping this family with their journey to helping their only child. Lets help this family and this little boy by giving them some hope.

Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) is a rare, progressive genetic disorder where cells can't transport cholesterol and lipids, causing them to build up and damage the brain, liver, and spleen, leading to issues with movement, speech, cognition, and organ function, with symptoms appearing from infancy to adulthood and a lack of cure, though treatments focus on slowing progression. It's caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 genes, affecting cholesterol processing, and is often called "childhood Alzheimer's" due to its neurological impact.
