MLD FOUNDATION
Invite reviews
My son Jared was dx. with MLD in 2007. Since then the MLD Foundation has helped so much. They have helped us meet other families with this very rare disease. I had never in my life heard of this disease before my son was dx. with it. Dean and Teryn are wonderful people commited to helping families suffering from MLD. Every year they have a medical conference that all MLD families can attend so we are kept well informed of any medical advances for the disease. This is a wonderful foundation!

Our son has been diagnosed with MLD for nearly 10 years now. This foundation has helped link us to others with this rare disease. We have been able to ask questions of others who have traveled this journey before us, or be a resource to new comers to this deadly disease. It has been a huge help to know you're not alone out there, and to find out what is being done to help with a cure that we hope will be there someday. This organization has been a huge blessing.

Our son has MLD and the foundation has been an amazing support through the different stages of our sons illness. We have been able to ask questions to families all over the world, and in return have also offered our help to people we have never met but we feel we know them because of the bond the MLD community has. There is no judgement, but there is information that alot of the doctors can't give us due to the rareness of MLD so being able to communicate with others going through the same problems in priceless.

my daughter has MLD, the effect it has had on our life is devastating,Dean and Teryn are lovely genuine caring people who have an effected daughter themselves yet they strive to raise awareness of this horrid disease and offer words of comfort, advice and make you feel your not alone, even though they live in USA and we are in england. Without them many people would feel totally alone

This foundation has helped in many ways, we have been able to attend MLD family gatherings to help us get to know others with the same disease. I love the discussion group you can email everyone with questions and nobody will judge you, you can also put in some input that people will listen to and sometimes you just needed to hear something that someone has said. This foundation helps you to know that you are not alone in the struggles that you have to overcome with MLD and there are others that are going through the same things that you are. They also have conferences for people but I have not been able to attend any of them but the info they put on the foundation website is always very informative.

The MLD Foundation was an amazing organization that helped our family deal with and have support for the most tramadic ordeal a family can be faced with...the sickness, decline and eventual death of our three year old son. This organization was frank, provided information and support for our son and family and this process for us would have been so much harder without the support of the MLD Foundation.

I helped in the planning stages of forming this organization. Was at first ever meeting. Met others who are dealing with this horrible illness and continue to talk with families on how things have worked/not worked for us as a family living with someone with this illness. I have met many good friends through this organization. It was a great support to me when I had no one to talk to. I would have gone crazy dealing with this illness alone without having an online discussion group to turn to when I wanted someone to talk to. It was so nice to know we are not alone with this illness.
