My Nonprofit Reviews

Our daughter was diagnosed at four-and-a-half years old with Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM), a rare disease without a cure. It was an extremely confusing and frightening time for our family. We didn’t know anyone else with the disease and we didn’t know where to turn. Then we found Cure JM. Cure JM, which happens to be the only organization focused exclusively on Juvenile Myositis, was an absolute lifesaver. Cure JM gave us what we needed most: access to the latest information and research and connection to other families who have experience with JDM and who understood the challenges we were facing. Most importantly, Cure JM provided us with hope. Through the tireless commitment of the staff and community members , Cure JM has raised considerable funds and is now able to provide research grants to world class physicians seeking a cure. Today we have a ten year old daughter (with the disease in remission!) and we can hold onto our dream that one day there will be a cure for her and other children like her.
