Until Avery was 5, her family had no idea that the little girl’s life was in danger. Her rare immune deficiency, NFKB1, caused by a genetic error she was born with, showed suddenly one night. The family was out to dinner when Avery complained of neck pain so severe, the little girl was in tears.
Neither antibiotics nor surgery could successfully treat Avery’s serious and painful lymph node infection. But the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the NIH and your unwavering support, which has given Avery and her family a second home at The Children’s Inn, promised hope for Avery.
