Welcome to The Nathan Asher Foundation

The Nathan Asher Foundation for Children with Rare Disease is a Non-Profit Organization, registered in Trinidad and Tobago – Company #1787521.The Foundation was birthed from the experience of Nathan Asher Ellis a toddler who was diagnosed with a rare liver disease when he was 13 months old. The journey towards giving him a second chance at life and obtaining his life and obtaining his life saving liver surgery was achieved through the outpouring of love and support from the local, regional, national and international communities. The experience, opened the eyes of Nathan’s family to the real financial, emotional and other struggles that families/caregivers of children with rare disease undergo and the challenges that the children themselves can face. The question arose, “how can we assist other children with rare diseases in getting their chance at life?” Hence the formation of the foundation.
