Review for Nevada Center for Biomedical Research, Reno, NV, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

WPI stands as our only hope for treatment for ME, for science that doesn't mix in psychobabble, for answers to so many of today's "mystery" illnesses. We are not lying on our couches and beds because we want to; most of us had active, fulfilling lives before we because sick with ME. I had just found a job I really loved and one I was ready to work for until retirement, as a claims adjudicator and benefits counselor at the VA, when I first developed chronic pain and a bit later, a terrible weakness and sickness. I hung on for two years, then cried my eyes out when I had to retire. For 12 year I felt hopeless and uncared for. WPI came along with their XMRV study and gave me the first hope, and I've held onto that hope, even though all the forces seem aligned against us. We will prevail but we need grants for more research. Please, consider donating whatever you can to WPI. Thank you to all. xoxoxoxo

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

giving us hope.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

make sure it had enough money to give treatment to any ME patient who wanted it.

Role:  Donor & I have a donation campaign for my birthday and I am donating a small amount monthly to WPI.
