Meet Simplisa

Simplisa is a girl born with Giant Congenital Nevus, a rare skin condition characterized by dark patches that grow with the body and can lead to melanoma. JHI has been supporting her treatment since 2019. 

Laser therapy didn't alleviate her pain, we've since found specialists in Chicago who are now treating her, thanks to the generosity of JHI supporters.
