1. 2021 Board Fundraiser
In our previous fundraiser, we aimed to raise $25,000 for Ben’s Friends communities. Because of your support, we have surpassed our goal and raised $30,600. Thank you!
Let us change more lives this year. Spread the word about our GoFundMe fundraiser so that we can hit our goal of raising $30,000 to help rare patients and their family. Please share this link to your friends and contacts.
2. Ben’s Friends launches its Caregiver Support Community
Caregivers who provide care for a loved one affected by a rare disease now have their own Ben’s Friends community. This will help them navigate through the unique challenges of caring and advocating for a loved one with a rare disease.
3. Even kids and teens can get Psoriatic Arthritis
Many people are not aware that kids and teens can also suffer from arthritis. We’d like to change that. That’s why we’re sharing this information to our members.
4. Members supporting us via Patreon
As of November 1, we have already raised 1914.95 USD from contributions via Patreon. We have also received our first batch of video testimonials from members and will start sending a monthly newsletter to our patrons this January.
