My name is Sasha and my friend's name is Rhonda. She doesn't know I'm doing this for her but she really needs the help.

I met her at the emergency room. I was in the waiting area with a toothache when she stumbled in with her 11 year old son barely holding her up on her tip toes. I heard her say she couldn't take another step. A nurse rushed her a wheel chair and there she sat next to me quietly crying and shaking in pain.

My heart hurt for her so I asked what happened and she told me lupus was slowly killing her. She lost all her hair but it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the sores on her head. Her feet were in shambles, the skin on them was falling off and that's why she could barely walk. She said she has extreme nerve damage and is always in pain.

Before this she was a small business owner, a first time home owner, and she owned a car. Due to Lupus, she and her son lost everything. The house foreclosed, the business dissolved and her car broke down. She feels like she has no one but her son and this burden shouldn't fall on him he's just 11. If you can, even if it's a dollar, please donate! Thank you!
