Help Us Build a Free Medical Clinic for Lupus Patients in Trinidad and Tobago

Your Support Can Make a Difference!

Dear Friends and Supporters:

We need your help to bring hope and healing to lupus patients in Trinidad and Tobago. The Voice of Lupus Foundation, under the leadership of our President and Founder, Reeanna Harrilal H.B.M. (2022 Awardee of the T&T's 3rd Highest Award, The Hummingbird Gold Medal), has been a lifeline for individuals living with lupus. For years, Reeanna has generously opened her home to serve as our base of operations, located in Flamingo Crescent, Pleasantville, San Fernando. However, the limited space prevents us from providing the free medical clinic services that our community desperately needs.

Our Vision: A Dedicated Clinic and Multidisciplinary Hospital for Comprehensive Lupus Care.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs and systems in the body, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to manage its symptoms and complications. With your generous donations, we aim to purchase land and establish a free medical clinic that will offer essential services such as:

- Vision Screening: Medications like prednisone and hydroxychloroquine, commonly used to treat lupus, can cause vision problems. Regular screenings will help detect early signs of vision loss, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.
- Diabetes Testing: These medications can also increase the risk of developing diabetes or exacerbate existing diabetes. Monitoring blood sugar levels and screening for diabetes is crucial to prevent further health complications.
- High Blood Pressure Screening: Lupus patients are at an increased risk of developing hypertension, which can lead to kidney disease and cardiovascular issues. Regular screenings and management of high blood pressure are vital to maintaining overall health.

Why Your Donation Matters

By providing these basic services initially, we will lay the foundation for a holistic approach to lupus care. As the foundation grows and gains more resources, we plan to expand our services to include specialized care in rheumatology, nephrology, and cardiology, offering even more comprehensive support to our patients.

Our Commitment to the Lupus Community

This initiative is a testament to our unwavering commitment to improving the lives of lupus patients. We believe that with the right care and support, individuals living with lupus can manage their condition effectively and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

How You Can Help

Your donation, no matter the size, will bring us one step closer to making this clinic a reality. With your support, we can provide the necessary screenings, monitoring, and preventive care to our lupus community, enhancing their quality of life and overall well-being.

Join Us in Making a Difference

We invite you to join us in this noble cause. Together, we can build a facility that stands as a beacon of hope and healing for lupus patients in Trinidad and Tobago.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Warm regards,

Reeanna Harrilal H.B.M.
