Lifewire - Hong Kong’s very first crowdfunding platform for children with rare diseases

Founded in 2014 by Chun Wo Development Holdings Limited, Lifewire brings together patients, charities, donors, and medical experts into a tightly-knit community to provide a channel for those in need to receive help.

By documenting each patient’s story through text and video, we strive to share their narrative with the public to:

● Raise funds to provide urgent medical care for children with rare diseases and to support patients’ long-term medical needs
● Promote an inclusive society by increasing public awareness of rare diseases through community education

The dilemma of patients and their families includes insufficient funding and support、exorbitant medical expenses、social stigma......

Lifewire helps relieve the difficulties faced by rare disease patients and their families
