Cross-Cultural Education
PandAid is dedicated to reaching underserved and marginalized communities with reliable information about PANS/PANDAS. By hosting educational seminars covering the causes, risks, signs, and symptoms of PANS/PANDAS, PandAid has increased the accessibility of available PANS/PANDAS resources. PandAid strives to act as a bridge, ensuring information is both clear and culturally sensitive.
In the past, PandAid has partnered with Caritas to host seminars for marginalized families in Hong Kong. Seminars were translated into Urdu and Nepali, reaching over 150 children and their families.
Fundraising & Advocacy
At PandAid, we believe in fostering a supportive community for families affected by PANS/PANDAS. We support nonprofit organizations dedicated to raising awareness, advancing advocacy, and improving access to care.
Each year, we raise funds for the Look. Foundation through its annual Look. Walk, an event that brings together families, advocates, and supporters from across the PANS/PANDAS community. Through this initiative, we hope to strengthen connections among families and foster a greater sense of understanding and support.
Arts
At PandAid, we believe in cultivating a supportive environment for healing. Through our crafts and gift projects, we strive to bring comfort, encouragement, and a sense of community to individuals and families facing health challenges. We recognize that healing extends beyond medical treatment and that small gestures of kindness can cross language and cultural barriers.
In total, PandAid has created close to 700 handmade crafts and gifts, each designed to spread hope and positivity. We hope to remind families that they are not alone in their journeys and foster a community of compassion and connection.
