In our culture food allergies have been growing at an exponential rate for quite some time. As of now, 1 in 12 children and 17 million Americans are affected by this condition.

Two women who have taken a stand are Kim Hall and Elise Bates.

Both of these women are moms who have children that are affected by food allergies.

Together, Hal and Bates founded End Allergies Together Inc. (E.A.T) in January of 2015. Since being founded they have chosen to make the overall focus of this establishment on raising money in order to fund research that will go towards finding a cure for food allergies.

As of now, E.A.T. is the only independent organization solely focused on raising money for a cure.

Today E.A.T. kicked off their social campaign #Just10BucksToEat with the hope that they can raise a total of $450 million. They believe that if everyone gave just $10 researchers would be able to find a solution to this growing problem.

With May being the National Allergy Awareness month there is no better opportunity to give to this great cause.
