"Thank you for the grant you gave us. It helped during our 2 month hospital stay. Before my son had his BMT, my husband worked full time. 3 days before, they let him go. We were left with nothing except savings. Without your grant, we would got into debt with household bills. So thank you again."

Do you know how CGD is diagnosed? 2 key tests help pinpoint a diagnosis: DHR & NBT. Both tests are highly effective but require expert interpretation to ensure accurate results. These tools give medical experts the insights they need to help individuals get the right care.
