My Nonprofit Reviews

I turned to the Lupus Foundation of Northern California (LFNC) in 1997 shortly after the birth of my second child and being diagnosed with Systemic Lupus. The foundation was there for me with educational classes, reading material, support groups and a real community. I can credit this group with helping me live my best life and helping me cope with the challenges of living with an invisible, chronic disease. As time went on the foundation encouraged me to become an active volunteer. I now lead a lupus support group and have participated as a panelist, advocate and educator. The opportunity to give back has given me a sense of purpose after having to go on disability. I appreciate the LFNC for all they have done for me and the lupus community at large.
