We love to run in the fields, walk in park and occasionally jump with joy; we should be thankful that we live normal lives free from disease and illness because every part of our body is important.
Today, there are many patients who are suffering from arthritis and unfortunately this disease has become very common nowadays. This young ambitious student is a Lupus (SLE) patient for the past eight years. His financial background is very weak and his parents can’t afford his treatment. He was taken under the care of the Arthritis Care Foundation (ACF) which was established in 2001 in collaboration with Fatima Memorial Hospital in Lahore.
ACF bearing all his treatment expenses and is sponsoring his medication worth Rs: 200,000 (Two Lac) per annum. If he had not been treated in time he might have suffered from renal failure. He is now slowly and steadily recovering and studying again
The treatment is long but life has given him a second chance.
This has only been possible through the generous support of donors like you which enables us to continue with our mission.
The disease can strike at any time and without proper care can lead to severe
disabilities affecting patients for a lifetime. However, today through early
diagnosis and extensive treatment rheumatologists can significantly help
prevent disability and death in patients suffering from rheumatic diseases.
These stories give us hope and the strength to continue with our mission.
Please donate today and change lives.
