Make a Gift of Hope Today: Benefiting Cure JM in honor of Vela!
As we prepare to feast during this holiday week, the Moodras are hoping to raise soup-pot-fulls of $$ for the Cure JM Foundation. Vela's quick diagnosis and excellent care have been made possible, in part, by research funded by Cure JM and we are incredibly grateful!
It's time for our annual ask, but we have a twist this year. We want to make it more impactful and fun for you AND yummy for others. For every $100 we raise, we will make a big, nutritious, yummy pot of soup for the Ronald McDonald House in Chapel Hill, where many families stay while their kids are getting treatments for all kinds of diseases. That could mean a lot of soup and I am so ready to cook it up!
Right now, all donations are matched by the Coffey Family fund too, which means your gift has a triple impact (counting the soup, that is).
We know you have lots of asks piling up in your email, social media feeds, and actual mailboxes. Thank you for considering adding Cure JM to the mix - our support for their research may help V and kids like her to live better with this chronic disease.
Your gift gives children hope this holiday season.
Like most rare diseases, juvenile myositis research is only made possible by friends and families like you.
Juvenile myositis is a run-away immune response where the body attacks itself.
The treatments currently used are life-saving, but can often be worse than the disease itself. Treatments used are steroids and chemotherapy, causing years of nausea, days spent in the hospital, and harsh side effects.
You can give children a better future.
Please make a gift to help us reach our family's fundraising goal.
Gifts will be matched by the Coffey Family Match:
- Click "donate now"
- Checks can be made out to Cure JM and mailed to Cure JM, P.O. Box 45768, Baltimore, MD 21297, with our family's name in the memo
Your gift will be put right to work to:
- Find new treatments with fewer side effects, including baricitinib and other new drugs
- Help patients get the best care
- Educate doctors, parents, and patients on the latest in treatments and care
- Fund innovative new research, including investigating a new type of gene therapy and a groundbreaking new study to determine what is happening inside individual cells, to better target treatments
Thank you!
Your gift gives children hope this holiday season.
