LADN Fire Relief Fund:

We are incredibly saddened and heartbroken about the devastation of the SoCal fires. Surviving and recovering from a natural disaster is extra complicated with a complex medical condition like dysautonomia and its many comorbidities. LADN is seeking donations to help dysautonomia patients and their families who have been impacted. We are currently assessing the needs of impacted community members through this survey.

LADN will use funds to purchase equipment and supplies and to give direct financial aid to dysautonomia patients and families who have been impacted by the fires. Every effort will be made to ensure these funds go towards victims of the fires, however, in the off chance that any funding remains, funds will be directed to other LADN programs helping dysautonomia patients and their families.

In addition to financial donations, LADN is also taking physical donations. If you would like to donate any physical resources please contact us at ladn@la-dn.org for instructions on where to drop donations (we will have at least 3 meet-up locations throughout LA). Items must be new or gently used.
