Children's Skin Disease Foundation

CSDF was started by a 16 year old girl who at the age of 11 suffered a severe and life threatening skin disease called pemphigus foliaceous that eventually claimed most of her skin.  It took her four years to recover.  Many other children have skin diseases so severe that they need to be bandaged several hours a day just to stay alive.  CSDF sponsors kids for free for a summer camp (Camp Wonder in Livermore, California) where “no one looks twice” and gives parents a much needed respite.

Children's Skin Disease Foundation (CSDF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation which focuses on the unique problems of young people who suffer from skin disease and the families who care for them. Diseases of the skin affect thousands of American children each year. These diseases cause discomfort, pain, disfigurement, disability, dependency or death. These diseases affect not only the children but also their entire family. Even worse, the physical and emotional hurt caused by childhood skin diseases can last a lifetime.
