At The Help Undiagnosed Children Foundation
We Envision a World Where Every Child With a Rare Disease Receives the Correct Diagnosis
HUCF helps make genetic testing possible for those in the greatest need.
At the Help Undiagnosed Children Foundation (HUCF), we help sick children who may have a rare disease receive the most comprehensive and cutting-edge genetic testing available. Each year, thousands of children with rare and often debilitating conditions are denied the genetic tests they urgently need. For these children and their families it is often a missed opportunity because only with the correct diagnosis of a rare disease, can the most effective and appropriate treatments be recommended by their doctors. Sadly, many of these families lack the economic resources or the health insurance coverage required by healthcare providers to proceed with testing, often leaving them without a diagnosis for years.
Our Mission
The mission of the Help Undiagnosed Children Foundation (HUCF) is to help sick children in medical and financial need to access essential genetic testing. By providing genetic tests for free, or at a reduced cost, the foundation helps these children have the best chance of obtaining the correct medical diagnoses they deserve. Once diagnosed, these children have a clearer path to receiving the proper medical treatment and will be given a real chance to lead their most fulfilling lives.
