"One of the things about EB, like many other conditions of its kind, is that it isolates us because of the pain, the bandages, and the travel limitations. That isolation itself—the loneliness that comes with it—is an injury. Having the community together and seeing that I’m not alone is the first emotional, fundamental safety net for the people at the [DCC]."
Dr. Jakub Tolar, University of Minnesota
"Being able to come [to the DCC], I feel seen. I’m with people who know what it’s like, and I don’t feel judged. I don’t feel that I should be hiding anything, and I don’t feel that there’s anything holding me back from what I want to do. It’s a week of freedom for us."
Kate W., living with EB
"We're about to start a fight with the schools because [my daughter with EB] is going to school for the first time. So, the DCC is giving us the fire and ammunition to be able to hit that head-on because we have to really advocate for her with the school system. It’s been a really positive, uplifting experience to give us the energy to go forward."
Mike, Dad to Maeve
