Our Therapy Fund will provide mental health services for Black women based in Los Angeles County who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic illness affecting the central nervous system. There is not yet a cure for MS, a disease that disrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. By helping this demographic come to terms with their diagnosis, we are equipping these women with the life-saving tools to feel empowered along their wellness journey, enabling them to evolve from MS survivors to MS thrivers.
