It’s a fact.

Healing Heroes are at the heart of our community.

That’s why we’re putting the spotlight on current Healing Heroes who are going above and beyond to support the IPPF community.

They’re making sustaining, monthly gifts to support our mission of improving the quality of life for all those affected by pemphigus and pemphigoid. 

Now it’s your turn. 

Whether you’re a patient, caretaker, family, friend, medical professional, or rare disease advocate, your monthly gift allows us to sustain current programs and expand our key areas of operation. 

Jesse tells our story best . . . 

Jesse became a Healing Hero after experiencing loneliness and isolation while living with a rare disease. With the support and comfort provided by the IPPF, Jesse is thriving and wants to ensure that other pemphigus and pemphigoid patients receive the same high level of care.
