The Daisha Fund; Raising Funds and Awareness For Children with Microcephaly and like disorders
 | About UsThe Daisha Fund was created in the name of Daisha Abernathy. Daisha was diagnosed before birth with a condition called Microcephaly. This means she has a small head. This was caused by incomplete lissencephaly. This means her brain did not develop correctly. Daisha's parents were told at this time that Daisha may not live past the age of 2 as a large number of children with this do not due to respiratory failure. Microcephaly is more common than autism as it affects 2-2.5% of infants. However, not many know what it is. With that and the fact that the equipment and services that children with Microcephaly may need are very expensive, we have created The Daisha Fund. Our WorkWe work together to make our cause known, to reach out to other groups who share our vision. One of these is The Foundation for Children with Microcephaly (FCM) The only 501(c)3 created for children with Microcephaly. We do fundraisers and raffles to raise funds for equipment, services, and family needs and to raise awareness. |
