Giving Tuesday · December 1, 2026

Get Involved. Help Our Families Be Seen.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity. This year, our community is coming together to connect researchers, clinicians and RNU2-2 families, so no family has to face this diagnosis alone.

Donate now

$27,000

Our goal: reach $27,000 before the end of 2026. Every gift, share and conversation moves us closer. Your support funds awareness, family support and the connections that bring researchers, clinicians and families together.

Three ways to get involved

You don't have to give money to make a difference. Pick what fits your life.

Share our story

Post on your social media and tell friends, neighbors and coworkers why RNU2-2 research and community matter. Ready-made posts are in the toolkit below.

Ask your workplace

Many employers match donations or sponsor causes their people care about. A short email can double the impact of a gift.

Host a local fundraiser

A restaurant night, a bake sale or a coffee stand: small local events add up. We have simple ideas to get you started.

Why this matters

RNU2-2 was only recently recognized, and most families still find each other by chance. ReNU2 Foundation is new, built by families and volunteers who wanted something to exist when we were searching for answers.

Your gift helps us build the bridges between families, clinicians and researchers that make progress and hope possible.
