KEVA Kibbutz Ex Volunteer Association

The proceeds of the 16th ISRAELI FILM FESTIVAL IN WOLLONGONG will go towards "Find a Cure for Chloe Saxby and Vanishing White Matter Disease".

This page has been set up for our friends who cannot attend the festival but would still like to make a donation.

Professor Orna Elroy-Stein, Department of Cell Research & Immunology at TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY is one of only two researchers in the world actively working on a cure for VMW. She has had some encouraging breakthroughs in her research recently. Her small team are testing USA Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved compounds with some positive results; however, expanding the project to speed up progress will come at a cost of approximately AUD$2.6 million with the aim of bringing clinical trials forward to save children living with VWM disease.

PLEASE BE GENEROUS.

With your help we can save Chloe and end this devastating disease for all children (7 in Australia and 170 worldwide). This cure is within reach, but we are in a race against time.

Thank you for supporting the efforts of Chloe's family in raising money for this cause!
