My Nonprofit Reviews

Hello, I am a Lupus Nephritis survivor. I was diagnosed about the same time that LFNC was started, about 30 years ago. I immediately looked lupus up in the encyclopedia where I found the words, "life expectancy is 5 years." Luckily my neighbor knew a woman who was involved in the Lupus Foundation. I called her and I immediately went to a meeting of lupus sufferers like myself. I ordered pamphlets and any information I could to understand this disease I had contracted. The issues of the Lupus Foundation that came twice a year and the newsletters from LFNC I read and studied and I believe that it is because I learned about my disease that I am still living today. The internet didn't exist then and had it not been for the Lupus Foundation where would I have gone? I learned how to communicate with my doctors and how to cope with living a life that was so different from the life I had imagined. I know that LFNC helps people like me everyday and I am proud of my membership and I will always stay a member.
