About Heal DMD
A nonprofit built by people who believe every child deserves a fighting chance.
Our Mission
Heal DMD is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting healing and well-being for individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and their families. Our organization recognizes that healing is not only about treating physical disease, but also about addressing the emotional and social challenges that come when living with a devastating illness.
We are fighting to make a difference by funding critical research and providing much-needed resources to families affected by this devastating condition.
What We Do
Research Funding
The majority of funds go toward promising gene therapy research and other therapeutics that can significantly change the course of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We fund the science that gives families hope.
Family Assistance
Living with DMD brings extraordinary challenges—from mounting medical bills and the need for adaptive equipment to home modifications that make daily life possible. Insurance gaps and out-of-pocket expenses can quickly become overwhelming, adding financial strain to an already difficult journey.
Heal DMD offers benevolent support to families facing these burdens. We help fund essential equipment, enable access to therapies and treatments, and provide relief during critical moments of need. Every dollar donated helps support families living with DMD, easing everyday burdens so they can focus on what matters most.
Our Commitment to Transparency
Heal DMD is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 92-2757865), recognized by the IRS since April 2023. Our volunteer board serves without compensation — meaning 100% of your donation goes directly to our mission.
Community-Powered
Heal DMD is powered by a volunteer board and a shared commitment to advancing research and supporting families affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
