On behalf of the foundation I started to help autoimmune disease patients and/or autoimmune disease research (Find the Common Thread Foundation,) I have donated $500 to Jetmir.
Hopefully that starts the ball rolling.
Peace.

Marta, thank you. You are awesome. Wow. There is a Facebook group that also is beginning to engage in fundraising efforts for individual vasculitis patients, as well as for research and awareness. I've been wanting to make them aware of you and the things you do but had sort of lost track. So I'm glad to see you back on the forum, and I'll share with them the good news of your donation. You've made my day and I'm sure Jetmir's and Bing's (Scott's?) as well. Big hugs!!!

Yup, I'm Scott, and I just spoke with Jetmir on Viber, it's about 530PM evening time where he is, and he could not believe it lol. He has been very depressed, and this has lifted him up!!

I'm so glad Scott. We all know that feeling of complete despair at diagnosis, and I can't even imagine what it must feel like in his position. I was born in Bulgaria, and have a friend who has WG there, it's right next door, and the language is almost completely the same, so I've sent her an email with his gofundme page in case she wants to reach out to him and even have their doctors confer. I credit this site (here) with saving my life in the early days, so I'm glad I can do something small to pay it forward. I'm glad he has someone like you in his corner too. After diagnosis, we have to dig deep to look for our lucky stars, and your friendship is definitely one of his.

Hi Anne,
As of my last flare, I have killed, I say that with pride, all of my social media. All of it. And it feels so darn good. I'm no longer on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, or anything else. It's absolutely astounding how much time gets eaten up with that, and also the weird emotional buttons all that stuff is designed to mess around with - guilt, victimhood, pride, and all the other yucky ones, and it steals your precious time to boot. People can contact me through the foundation page, or just look me up. Old school.
You're too kind. I haven't done anything. I was actually going to nix the foundation after my last flare, but have since decided that might have been a rash decision based on being ill. I'm keeping it going, but doing less physical stuff, and hopefully more keyboard activities that might reach further and have a greater impact, like my initial work on creating an app, and other crazy ideas. This year PJ Day in Jasper was almost a non event, but others in town are now jumping in and taking some initiatives, so there was still something small and we still managed to raise about $1000 without doing anything. This is why I had no problem sharing this unexpected financial boost with someone who needed it more than a bank account.
I'm glad it made your day. If only I could do it daily.
Peace,
m

My pleasure. Glad I could help in some small way. Money comes and goes, health and peace of mind on the other hand is much more precious.
Best of luck. Vsichko Nai Hubavo. Zdravi i shtaslivi!!!
