Mission

Ward's Foundation empowers families to manage the emotional and practical challenges that arise after a child is diagnosed with a rare disease. One in ten Americans will be diagnosed with a rare disease - 50% of these are children. And while the diseases themselves are unique, the struggles of a rare disease diagnosis are remarkably similar. We offer holistic support that helps families, their support network and medical professionals build a path forward.
