Rare Disease Day 2025

                              THE LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY IS RARE DISEASE DAY

The last day of February has become known as "Rare Disease Day". Today I am sharing some of the children who have a rare diagnosis. Please don't let their rare diagnosis scare you. These children may be nearly one of a kind, but they are just children, in desperate need of forever families, and often better medical care to support their needs. While looking at these photos and clicking on the links, research the conditions, and ask yourself if this could be your son or daughter!
