Help Baby Elle

Imagine delivering birth to your second baby girl and the excitement that this event brings! Only to hear soon after, the devastating news that your precious newborn suffers from a deadly disease that you’ve never heard of and can’t even pronounce. This is the story of the Pop family of Sacramento; Steve and Rebecca, their daughter Chloe, almost three, and their newborn baby, Elle, now 6 months old. Steve and Rebecca learned that Elle is one of 20,000 children in the United States that suffer from this rare and staggeringly painful disease and that many babies don’t survive past their first year of life.

Elle suffers from the most deadly of the three subtypes of the disease, Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa Herlitz, meaning she blisters and bleeds at the touch externally and blisters internally as well, causing her skin to come off. This makes it diffi cult and painful to even eat or breathe.

Hope Comes From the University of Minnesota. Baby Elle has been accepted into a ground breaking clinical trail at the University of Minnesota Medical Center this summer offering both her and others with this disease a chance at life. Baby Elle is considered the perfect candidate for this treatment- and after much stress and red-tape, their insurance company has agreed to work alongside the University of Minnesota Medical Center to provide Elle with this complicated, lengthy and costly course of treatment.

How Can You Help? As a result of the arduous, costly and around the clock care Elle requires, Steve and Rebecca can only work a very limited amount outside the home to provide full time care of Elle and Chloe. They need your help. Housing, medical expenses, home care workers, insurance and basic life expenses are mounting and the family is losing ground.
