The LAM Foundation urgently seeks safe and effective treatments and ultimately a cure for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) through advocacy and the funding of promising research.  We are dedicated to serving the scientific, medical and patient communities by offering information, resources and a worldwide network of hope and support.

As Madison, CT's community foundation, we support organizations that serve our community's social, cultural, environmental, educational, and recreational needs. We provide a bridge between those with a commitment to serve with their desire and energy, and those with the will and resources to help financially. The Foundation provides seed money for fledgling programs that will grow into self-sustaining efforts. This is made possible through direct donations to our operations from our fellow citizens, and from the income generated through special-interest funds established by our donors. We are so fortunate to have many residents with a deep-seated desire to make our community a better place.

THE BLINDNESS FOUNDATION works in Burma/Myanmar,Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines & Thailand. Our mission is: "HELP US,HELP OTHERS, HELP THEMSELVES" -working with local eye Doctors in these SE Asian countries to help prevent & cure blindness. This is achieved through education, training and mission supply for outreach cataract surgery programs to the rural & urban poor . To date for example we have over the last two decades, contributed lens implants that have been implanted in over 65,000 patients' eyes to help them see again -curing their blindness. Ongoing training and education, upgrades the knowledge and skill -sets of young Eye Doctors in training so that they can treat their own people better, without reliance on outside Ophthalmologists. This builds their health care systems closer to modern world standards. We respond to specific requests for assistance in placing young Eye Doctors in residency & Fellowship programs out of country , Also supply of anti-fungals for the Burmese fishermen with corneal infections after the Nargis Cyclone hit the Irawaddy delta region of Myanmar. Our goal is sustainable self-sufficiency for eye care in these developing nations. We have annual missions that incorporate training & lectures at university based teaching hospitals where possible to assist their development. During these missions we process requests for equipment, traing and supplies and coordinate with industry in the US to raise supplies. Your funding helps develop the third world and truly ,you do ,indeed, "make a difference" Thank You, CHRISTOPHER LYON, MD PhD Director THE BLINDNESS FOUNDATION

This foundation was formed to promote awareness of children afflicted with Menkes disease. Menkes is a rare genetic disease that is commonly missed by the medical community because the signs and symptoms at birth and in early infancy are subtle and often confused with other diseases. Early treatment of symptoms is crucial for these children to maintain a sense of normalcy during their infancy and early childhood. Because of this we encourage prenatal genetic testing for neurological diseases. Our goal is to achieve improvements in Menkes research, healthcare, education, and community involvement through medical conferences, advertising, fundraising events and other similar endeavors. We would like to provide an example of brotherhood between friends and families who have lost loved ones to this disease. This can be achieved through a commitment to common charitable activities in honor of their loved one. This organization was founded in the memory and spirit of our son, Wesley Quinn Eckman to benefit everyone who suffers from Menkes.

Their mission is to provide family support, counseling and financial assistance to those who have lost a loved one to suicide. They are people who have experienced the same loss and have an understanding of the amount of pain involved. There are no paid employees. All are volunteers.
