CONQUER CACNA1A
CARE FOR OTHERS

The Bee-lievers was founded by a Mandan Family to support a loved one who is diagnosed with a CACNA1A variant.  We all have 2 copies of the CACNA1A gene which is responsible for communication between brain cells.   If there is a change on a CACNA1A gene, individuals can experience lifelong symptoms including neurodevelopmental differences, epilepsy, ataxia, hemiplegic migraines, and movement disorders.

 

Currently, there are no targeted treatments or cure for CACNA1A-related disorders. 

 

We have a mission to CONQUER CACNA1A. 

We do this by spreading awareness & supporting organizations facilitating research for a targeted treatment or cure for CACNA1A - related disorders.  A maximum of 30% of our donations go to supporting this life-enhancing research.

 

We have a mission to CARE FOR OTHERS.

The individual affected by the CACNA1A variant is a sweet and cheerful girl who loves to help others feel happy.  For this reason, a minimum of 70% of our donations stay local for our Bee-Cause We Care Kits - given to local entities that help children; We Bee-lieve Therapy Scholarships - help with out-of-pocket costs for therapy; We Bee-lieve Equipment Grants - help with out-of-pocket costs for adaptive equipment.
