Help Find a Cure for Anders' Eyesight

As many of you know, our sweet Anders has a rare genetic eye condition called Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), which is a severe type of cone rod dystrophy. This condition is not only rare but also progressively degenerative, threatening Anders’ vision and overall quality of life.
There are several different genes associated with LCA, but the specific gene mutation that affects Anders currently has no treatment. In our search for hope and a potential cure, we learned about Odylia, an 501(c)3 organization that is making remarkable strides in the field of gene therapy specifically targeting the gene that affects Anders’ eyesight.
While we are excited by the progress, the reality is that funding for rare diseases is much harder to come by, and grassroots efforts make a big difference in keeping the research moving forward. We humbly request your financial support to aid Odylia in continuing their critical research and development efforts.
We understand that there are many causes worthy of support, so we would be incredibly grateful if you could contribute whatever amount you can. Your generosity will not only support cutting-edge research but also provide hope and encouragement to families like ours who are eagerly waiting for a breakthrough.
Thank you for considering our request.
With sincere gratitude,
Joe and Kim Payne
