Alright so there's this new contest happening online called My Giving Story. People vote on the charity that has been the most giving, and first place wins $10,000. I have nominated a charity called U. R. Our Hope.

They're a registered, 501 (c) non-profit that works with rare and undiagnosed patients to provide resources, emotional support, and help navigating the medical system. Before I had my hEDS diagnosis, they held my hand and kept my sanity intact every step of the way. They even helped me get a Marfan/TAAD panel when I had no income and no health insurance. They maximize every sparse resource they have to help as many patients as they possibly can. But as their client list grows, so too does their need for resources.

Simply stated, what I want you all to do is . . . vote! You can do it without even leaving your bed. By the way, I won't see any of this money, as it all goes directly to them.

Voting does NOT does require you to purchase anything, provide any information (personal or otherwise), or sign up for anything.

So PLEASE VOTE! Sharing on social media would be a bonus. I want U. R. Our Hope to ☆WIN☆ so they can help as any patients as possible. It could change lives!! ♡

Thank you!

Edit: I polished up the clarity and flow, as I was on mobile and very sleep-deprived when I first wrote it. I still mean every word of it, though!
