My name is Nicole Johnson and I have the pleasure of being the older sister to Natasha Benitez. My little sister is the kindest and strongest person I know. When she was 16, she was diagnosed with lupus. Since then, it’s been a constant battle getting sick over and over again.

In the last month, she had to be hospitalized once again. The doctors have already informed us she is in kidney failure as well as heart failure. Our family is doing everything we can to help her get through this and we have faith she can recover.

Natasha is working with doctors in order to try a different treatment for her lupus and organ failure. It has already proved to help her condition, but it is a very costly treatment. In order for this treatment to be effective, she needs to have multiple rounds as well as be in an environment where she can heal. This not only comes with a lot of effort, but also a lot of financial strain.

I would do anything for my little sister. Not only is she my best friend, she’s also my son’s best friend. We need her. Please help us by either sharing or donating as much as you can. Your prayers are also always welcome.

Thank you with all my heart.
