Smile, FIRST...BACK TO SCHOOL

BACK TO SCHOOL....should be a happy and easy time of normal transition.  But for children like my grandson, Evan, who have a form of Icthyosis., it can be a very intimidating and even painful experience.  It is important for all of us, adults and children, parents grandparents and teachers to remember Evan's simple message.  When you see someone who may look a little different in some way, ALWAYS "SMILE...FIRST" and remember to  "Like FIRST" on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Foundation-for-Ichthyosis-Related-Skin-Types-Inc/152961778073837

 My precious and talented grandson, Evan, age 8 years busy on his computer. During the summer days he had to be either in a swimming pool or in indoors in air conditioning.  Children with EHK cannot perspire over heat very easily, and are very susceptible infection.

When you buy a poster 100% of the sale goes to FIRST.

EI stands for Epidermolytic Ichthyosis, a form of ichthyosis. It is a very rare genetic skin disorder that occurs only one in every 300,000 births. It is characterized by scaly, thick and blistering skin, making the child highly susceptible to trauma and infection. There is no cure.

100% of the proceeds from the sales of this poster will go to directly to EI Research.

Evan, my grandson, has EI.(EHK) He will  Second Grade this fall. Despite his handicaps, he remains optimistic and enthusiastically involved in all his school activities. He drew this smiling face self portrait. I was so impressed that such a happy self-image could come from a child who lives with so much pain and disfigurement on a daily basis.

Until a cure is found, Evan and children like him will have to continue to endure the painfulness of EI. He still needs a full time health aide to assist him and help prevent any occurrences of skin trauma and infection, an air conditioned classroom and a wheel chair for the days when his feet are so blistered he cannot walk. Any donation is appreciated to help find a cure.

There is no cure for EI,(EHK) and very few people have even heard of it. We didn't until Evan was born the one, in 300,000.

I have created this poster "Smile FIRST" to Educate, Inspire and Connect people to help fund research for a cure for EI.(EHK) It is an "orphan" charity because it is so rare, it gets very little attention or funding for the much needed research.

By purchasing this poster or print you will help Evan and other precious children, like him.
You will be helping to find a cure for EI. (EHK)
