IT'S LUPUS AWARENESS MONTH!

What is Lupus?
What is Lupus? Our immune system typically defends against illnesses and foreign invaders. However, Lupus is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the body itself. It can impact various parts of the body, including joints, skin, and organs, and affects both genders, with a higher prevalence among women of color aged 15-44. The LupieGirl, Inc. is dedicated to offering a supportive environment that encompasses mental health well-being and financial assistance for those dealing with Lupus and other chronic illnesses. Our goal at The LupieGirl, Inc. is to empower individuals living with Lupus and chronic illnesses to "live their best lives." We emphasize the positive aspects and encourage them to pursue their aspirations that may have been discouraged in the past. We provide survivors with information and resources to help them return to work and build stronger relationships with those around them. During Lupus Awareness Month in May, The LupieGirl, Inc. organizes various events to connect with individuals affected by Lupus, including patients, caregivers, and their loved ones. |

Join us as we turn lupus into lemonade!
We're thrilled to extend an invitation to our impactful event on May 18, 2024, in support of The LupieGirl, Inc.! Join us for "Turning Lupus Into Lemonade," a movement to raise Lupus awareness and stand with those battling this challenging disease. Lupus affects millions, particularly women of color, with its unpredictable flare-ups causing significant disruptions in their lives.
Despite its widespread impact, Lupus is often misunderstood by healthcare professionals, leaving many feeling isolated. The toll can be severe, leading to organ complications and challenges accessing healthcare. However, our brunch event signifies hope and unity, bringing the community together to support crucial programs like The Survivor's Circle and the Lupie Carekit Program.
