How the Jewish Community Can Help

📣

Synagogue Fundraisers

Partner with your synagogue to host a dedicated fundraiser — a gala dinner, silent auction, or Shabbat appeal. Contact us to get started.

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Projects

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is an opportunity to embody Jewish values of tikkun olam — repairing the world. Dedicate your mitzvah project to helping children with SLC1A4 Deficiency.

🏢

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many employers match charitable contributions dollar-for-dollar or more. Check with your HR department — your $180 donation could become $360 with no extra cost to you.

👪

Family Campaigns

Create a personal fundraising page in memory of a loved one, to mark a birthday or anniversary, or simply because you care.

Spread the Word

Join the SLC1A4 Family Network

If your family has been affected by SLC1A4 Deficiency, we invite you to join our family network. It is a way to stay connected with the broader SLC1A4 community.

By joining, you can expect to:

  • Be connected with other families navigating the same diagnosis
  • Be notified about opportunities to participate in clinical research
  • Receive updates on research progress and new findings

Spread Awareness

You don't need to donate to make a difference. Sharing information about SLC1A4 Deficiency can shorten the diagnostic odyssey for a family or connect a carrier couple with screening before tragedy strikes.

  • Share this website with your Jewish community networks
  • Post about us on social media with #SLC1A4 or #JewishGenes
