Queria ajuda tenho uma filha ...com cfc queria uma orientacao cono o dia dia as fisios alimentacao...ela tem muita sensibilidade

Luego de conocerlos me di cuenta lo importante que es la labor que realizan para todas las familias con un chico con CFC. Yo tengo un primito con este sindrome y a el y a su familia le hacen muy bien! Gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CFC is a fantastic non-profit organization that needs all support from us in order to continue doing its important role in Latin America.

This organization is very helpfull for all CFC families arround the world, we are happy to have found it!

This is a great organization that helps to spread the word on a very rear disease. Great support for all families with a person with CFC as my son.

We recently had a diagnosis for our child's condition. It is a rare mutation affecting 200-300 people worldwide. That means, even qualified doctors would not be able to comprehend the full range of the syndrome as it rarely comes across their practice. Therefore, we were really delighted to find CFC International which provides advocacy and information to all parents. I cannot think of any non-profit organisation that is more needed and fully deserving of a praise. All we had to do is post our current issue with our child and within 24 hours, there are a number of families posting their experience, which is quite comforting.

My husband and I attend the CFC International Wine Tasting and Dinner Fundraiser every year. We have gained information yearly as to how research is advancing and the data base growing through the efforts of CFC International. We receive the newsletter which always profiles a family and their experience of finally receiving a diagnosis and how helpful that was in order for them to move forward with their lives. This is an organization that uses donations effectively and efficiently towards improving the lives of children and families coping with CFC Syndrome.

I originally came into contact with CFC international when my daughter was almost 7 years old. At the time there was no clinical test to confirm CFC and very little information to be had. They provided a lifeline to information, connections to other families, and eventually assisted with research that identified a test to confirm a CFC diagnosis. Through their bi-annual conferences, they provide a place for gathering information, meeting specialist and inspiring future research. Prior to finding CFC International we waited 7 long years for a diagnosis, many families waited much longer, now thanks to CFC International, CFC children are generally diagnosed at under 1 year of age, providing much more information to parent much earlier. CFC International is absolutely committed to the families they serve!

This organization has helped my family and many other to better undersand this rare syndome. Being no more than 400 cases in the world this organization has made a difference in our kids through research, guidance and sharing invaluable information and has also been the "guiding star" to us, parents of this angels by feeling part of a larger family and providing us moral support, genuine friendship and important tools to be more prepared to face our kids needs and challenges.

When my son was diagnosed with Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, it had been a very long drawn out process and we were quite shell shocked. I was referred to them for information. Not only was all the information useful but someone called me withing 24 hours of signing up for their newsletter to offer help and advise me of the support groups out there. Without them i would still be trying to navigate through this very complicated and stressful syndrome. I go to them often for updates and questions. They also sponsor conferences in the US and UK for all the families affected by this rare genetic syndrome. I can't wait to attend my first one on 2013.

The work which this charity does has immensely benefited a very close friend of mine. The work in which they do to raise awareness is amazing and the community they have created for those affected by cfc has been very poignant and provided much needed support for my friends.

We were in complete shock to find out that our daughter might have a rare genetic disorder. As a parent you start to understand how rare CFC is when every Doctor you come accross has heard of CFC but never seen it in practice. Very frustrating when you want help and answers. CFC International accepted us and gave us immediate advice and support without a confirmed diagnosis. We felt supported, accepted, and it gave us the confidence to ask questions knowing that the answers were coming from experienced people who know what it is like to live with a child who has CFC. We have made contact with people all over the world and in our home country. We are looking forward to meeting other families at the 2013 conference in the UK. I couldn't imagine going through this period of our lives without CFC. Thank you to all the selfless people behind the scenes who make it possible for us to connect.
