Hello
Welcome to The For Isla Foundation
We are a local charity, based in Essex, raising money to support babies and young children who are being treated for Ultra-Rare paediatric cardiomyopathy diseases at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The For Isla Foundation
The For Isla Foundation was set up in May 2024 by Carl and Natalie after tragically losing their 13 month old daughter Isla. Despite showing no symptoms, Isla passed away due to an ultra-rare heart condition called Histiocytoid Cardiomyopathy.
What started as a JustGiving page as an alternative for flowers at Isla's Celebration of Life, Natalie & Carl were blown away by the generosity of others as the page was flooded with donations from around the world.
This inspired them to create a charity in Isla's memory and so The For Isla Foundation was formed.
