"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane." Martin Luther King, Jr.

That is why I founded Advocacy for Patients with Chronic Illness -- to combat this shocking and inhumane inequality that exists in the health care system in America today.

Like Mike, I have Crohn's disease. In April 2001, I had major surgery followed by a run of staph infections, three more surgeries, and a very scary autoimmune response to a drug I tried. I almost died. I knew that my life would never -- could never -- be the same. So I quit being a trial lawyer and started Advocacy for Patients with Chronic Illness. We provide about $1 million in free services to patients with chronic illnesses every year on a budget of under $200,000 -- how's that for a return on your investment?!

We help people find health insurance, we fight with insurance companies to get things covered, we help with Social Security disability, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, laws that apply to schools -- can you imagine a school hiring a lawyer to fight a request for an anytime bathroom pass for a child with ulcerative colitis? -- we do whatever patients need.

As the economy takes a downswing, we get more and more requests for financial support, help with medical debt, help with foreclosures. We do what we can. But these are tough times. When you see insurance companies deny medication to a college student with multiple sclerosis -- I sometimes wonder if they sit there and figure out that paying for a wheelchair for her would be less expensive -- there's a lot of heartbreak in the work we do.

And that's where you come in. You are TOTALLY AWESOME and then some. I can't tell you how much it means to our little organization to have your support. You will help us to keep helping others and have fun in the bargain. I am so looking forward to meeting all of you at Sweet Jane's on June 27th. We're closing the office early -- Pearl Jam being in town ought to be a State holiday, after all -- and we'll be there hanging with you, getting ready for what I know will be a GREAT show. I can't wait to meet all of you.

If any of you have questions or need our help, or just want to say hi, my email is patient_advocate@sbcglobal.net. But even better, come to Sweet Jane's on the 27th and say hi in person. I can't wait. THANK YOU!!!!

Quilt Art on Display

Is it 21+ or all ages?

Stephen Flow

Hey Laura, I'm def going to this show but not sure if I'm taking the day off for it... If I DO take the entire day off I will help out with the fund raiser... If not I probably won't be able to. I'll let you know for sure once I flesh out my vacation time a bit more.

PatrickBateman

I am going to try and get to SJ's after work/before the show
