Mission
DebRA of America's primary objective is to find a cure for epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare connective tissue disorder with many symptomatic and genetic variations. All variations share the common manifestation of extremely fragile skin that blisters and tears from minor friction or trauma. Internal organs and bodily systems may be seriously affected in the more severe forms of EB. Debra of America also provides supportive programs and services to those with EB and their families. We also provide educational literature and produce conferences for the patient population and the professional community to increase awareness of this rare disorder. In fact, Debra of America is the only national not-for-profit that supports research while providing supportive and educational services to the EB and professional community.
