About APC-DMV 2025
About APC-DMV 2025
The 7Q Foundation was established to support families navigating the challenges of special needs, inspired by the experiences of Zidan Ali, a spirited young boy with a genetic deletion on chromosome 7Q. The 7Q Foundation is dedicated to addressing the gaps and needs of families navigating special needs by creating programs such as day and weekend services with inclusion support, webinars, conferences, community events, and diverrx.com, a resource hub for the community. Through these initiatives, the foundation fosters support, education, and connection, promoting inclusion and equal opportunities for all.

The organization provides critical emotional, financial, and educational support to family members while connecting caregivers to additional resources. Eliana's Light also advocates for whole health approaches to care in pediatrics, regularly organizing volunteer programs that foster community, connection, and raise awareness about these families and their healthcare needs. By addressing gaps in the nation's support systems, Eliana’s Light collaborates through its unique "C.A.R.E" model with medical centers, healthcare providers, housing assistance programs, and other specialists to co-create "Constellations of Care" alongside families.
