My Nonprofit Reviews

My daughter was diagnosed with JPM in 2006. When you are told your daughter has a very rare autoimmune disease in which her body is working against itself, it is overwhelming. By the time of diagnosis, my daughter could barely walk, was in constant pain, and suffered from continual fatigue. JPM had taken so much away from her. The treatment was very aggressive, the drugs laden with side effects, and recovery was slow. A volunteer from Cure JM was often at clinic and she introduced us to organization. The support that Cure JM offers families is tremendous. Yes, the disease is rare and each case is very unique but we are not alone. Cure JM provides a community for families dealing with JM diseases. Above all of this, Cure JM and it's families raise funds to pay for medical research. This is key to finding better treatments, finding the cause, learning prevention, and someday finding a cure. I have chosen to join all of the other volunteers with Cure JM and dedicate my time to offering family support and helping to raise funds.
