I became affiliated with GPER as a parent caregiver to a child suffering with eczema. As an academic psychologist I was not only looking for support, but for evidence-based information. I did not want more recommendations of some lotion to buy and try, instead I wanted to communicate with parents who were likeminded. GPER was exactly what I was looking for: a nonprofit that was not only advocating for better research but openly sharing valuable information with caregivers in need!
Finding a Cure for Childhood Eczema by 2030
Global Parents for Eczema Research hopes to raise $100,000 this year to double their research program in 2025 and accelerate their progress towards a cure by 2030, which is the vision of their organization.
They are funding research in three specific areas which show the most promise in preventing eczema in babies:
•Interventions to improve the gut microbiome
•Strategies to improve the skin barrier
•Ways to avoid environmental exposures that increase the risk for eczema in children
Your donations will help fund research that gets us closer to a world where no child has to suffer from childhood eczema.
