Children’s Interstitial Lung Disease (chILD) is a group of rare pediatric lung diseases. There are more than 30 disorders included under the chILD umbrella. The mission of the chILD Foundation is to fund vital research to fight for the promise of more breaths. Such research offers children and their families hope, better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. chILD disorders are true “orphan” diseases, with less than 10,000 estimated cases in the U.S..
