Depression

Cure4Lupus.org was created because of the dire need for Lupus Education, Awareness and Research. Lupus is one of the most misunderstood diseases in the world today! Kendra Isola, one of the co-founders, has suffered from life threatening Lupus since the age of 13. Kendra and her family have been appalled at the lack of advancement in the treatment of Lupus and decided it was time to do something about it. They started Cure4Lupus.org to assist them in spreading the word, raising funds for research and supporting Lupus patients and their families.

We are using our skills as the Internet generation to spread the word and let people know about this disease. Most people don’t even know what Lupus is and for a disease as common as Lupus, that is ridiculous. We are also building a network of Lupus patients, their families and friends as well as health care workers and people who are just interested in helping. This network is supporting each other in a new way. You will find literally thousands of people on our site who can relate to you no matter what your experience w/ Lupus. Thirdly we are selling Lupus Awareness Merchandise to raise awareness and to raise funds for Lupus research that is geared specifically towards finding a cause and a cure for Lupus rather than just more toxic treatments.

We offer hard to find, unique Lupus merchandise. Visit our Lupus Products page to view our products!

#388

I am a woman, a mother, an artist, a poet, a sister, a daughter, and most of all a part of humanity hoping to serve humanity. With 16+ years of sobriety after decades of alcoholic self-absorption, it is my goal to be of service, to help others combat crippling depression associated with HIV/AIDS, alcoholism, addiction, etc. By facilitating a positive, productive, esteem building outlet, I believe it is possible to help convert the “failed” human concern to a successful, more fulfilled one, at least for a while and without adding to or interfering with current medical prescriptions. At Urban Art Retreat, it is hoped that we can provide CarePlace and the many it serves with an additional benefit at no monetary expense to the organization or the population it serves.
