A rare disease charity explains why its numbers show the same patients helped year after year. Many rare diseases run in families, so multiple relatives often need assistance. The organization prioritizes long-term support for ongoing treatment costs rather than one-time aid.

For the patients enrolled in our rare disease programs, we are often helping more than one family member because so many of these rare diseases are genetic. Um, and, and something else to note and consider is when you hear those numbers of how many people we've helped is often how we're re-enrolling patients year after year. So we're providing some of these patients, majority of these patients with consistent financial assistance for their treatment year after year.
