Get involved

Nobody fights lupus alone. Not on our watch.

Whether you have ten minutes or ten years of lived experience, there's a way to stand with someone. Choose how you want to show up, and we'll make it easy from there.

A warrior by your side. Or be one.

The Lupus Buddy program pairs someone who is newly diagnosed, struggling, or just tired with a warrior who has walked the road. Buddies check in weekly, help prep for appointments, and show up on flare days. Warriors are screened, trained in listening and boundaries, and supported by our team. Nobody gives medical advice. Everybody gives understanding.

If you need a buddyTell us a little about where you are. We match within two weeks and introduce you by phone or in person at the Café.
If you'll be a warriorTwo-hour orientation, a background check, and a commitment of one check-in a week for six months. We've got your back too.

Peer support, not medical care. We never ask for diagnoses or records on this form.
