Join us in supporting Rumbi on her Lupus journey! In 2017, Rumbi's health took a turn, leading to a journey filled with tears, pain, and praises. After struggling to receive a diagnosis, she was eventually diagnosed with Lupus, an inflammatory disease affecting various parts of the body. Rumbi's treatment includes medications with challenging side effects, constant joint pain, fatigue, and other symptoms that interfere with her daily life. Despite the hardships, she perseveres, supported by her colleagues and employer, Robbie Ragless. Now, Rumbi needs our help. She requires a CT scan called Peripheral Angiogram to address potential artery blockages affecting blood flow in her legs. The test is scheduled for December 21, 2024, but with winter approaching, she can't wait. We're reaching out to raise funds for Rumbi's test at a private hospital before winter sets in. Your contribution, big or small, can make a significant difference in Rumbi's journey towards better health. https://lnkd.in/d6ZirR8t #lupus #viral #people #help #donate #run #immigration
