Review for LAM Foundation, Cincinnati, OH, USA
After being told there was no treatment and no cure for LAM, I was devastated. There was so little, and such outdated information on the internet. When Sue Byrnes called me one evening it was such a relief to learn there really was help for me at the LAM Foundation! Where there still was no treatment and no cure, there was patient support and science working for the answers! Now almost 10 years later, I have participated in the LAM Foundations efforts and events and know that I am not alone in this struggle, that eventually an answer will be found! The staff is first class excellent~ I have called with many issues and problems over the years and they are always there with me until the matter is resolved. I thank God for this organization!
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The cheerful attitude they have as they try to help save lives.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Beyond helpful
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Invest it in a treatment and eventual cure for a very cruel lung disease called Lymphangioleiomyomatosis or LAM for short.
Ways to make it better...
If there could be more staff. I see the same small group of people covering such wide areas. All non-profits are really stretching every dollar these days. This small staff shows such love and compassion in their work!
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Consistent funding. It's easier to raise funds for something a lot of people have (like cancer). LAM is so rare....even very few doctors have heard of it. It doesn't seem that important- till it happens to YOU!
One thing I'd also say is that...
When there is no treatment, no cure...... HOPE is all that a person has. For women all over the world, this support comes from the LAM Foundation. They are our 'BREATH OF HOPE'
