About me:


RockYou Corkboard - Add Stuff - Get Your Own


Epidermolysis Bullosa Patients have skin as fragile as a butterfly’s wing which can blister at the slightest touch — even from a mother’s cuddle. Normal day-to-day life can cause constant pain and scarring, which, in the worse forms, leads to eventual disfigurement, disability and often early death. EB is an inherited disease that affects less than 10,000 children and adults in the United States. According to the latest figures, most of these patients suffer from the simplex form of EB, about 600 have the Junctional form, 600 have RDEB, 840 with DDEB and 320 with some unclassified form of EB.
People born with EB lack anchors that hold the layers of their skin together. As a consequence, any activity that rubs or causes pressure produces a painful sore akin to a second-degree burn. One forms of EB is lethal in the first weeks or months of life. Some are mutilating over time. Infection is a serious, ongoing concern. As if the diagnosis is not heartbreaking enough, no treatment for EB has been effective. Parents have coped by protecting the child's skin with gauze and ointments, to prevent and protect the wounds and healthy skin-something that HMO's refuse to pay for.
EBAN’s first and foremost goal is to improve the financial quality and emotional stability of EB families. We also wish to serve the EB community as legislative advocates, and revive imperative legislation – the Wound Care Bill.

    Thank you for the add. My baby sister died of EB when I was seven. She was the first case of EB to be seen at the hospital that she was born at. Very little was known about her condition at the time, but throughout the years new treatments have been discovered. I think about Leanne every day and I want to help all those who suffer from EB because it is what she would want me to do.


    I ♥ you Leanne Michelle.

    THANK YOU for being a friend to OneCareNow!   JOIN MICHAEL MOORE (see our link and info on SB 840 on his page!) and help us spread the word by forwarding our page and petition to others, subscribing and participating in our blog and putting us in your top friend list.


    Support this bill... even if you are from out of state... help us win it for California, and watch the movement spread.
      California can lead the way for America with TRUE Universal Health Coverage---not phony schemes that use public funding for private insurance companies to continue business as usual.
      Only SINGLE PAYER can cut costs and improve quality of care. And only a huge public outcry will make it happen.


    CLICK HERE TO SIGN THE PETITION!


    CLICK HERE TO DONATE!


    For all those in California who are reading this, we especially need your help.
    This is a true grassroots effort, folks!  Sign up now to be a part of the solution!
