Contrary to popular belief, arthritis not only affects the old, but many young people suffer from the disease too - it causes one’s joints to become inflamed, making it hard for sufferers to perform any form of physical activity and affecting their work, relationships and even the ability to carry out daily tasks such as eating and sleeping.It can happen to anyone, especially those between 25 and 50, like Nina, an arthritis patient for over 20 years now.Soon after the birth of her son, Nina discovered she had Rheumatoid Arthritis."I could not even hold up a plastic bag of bread, I could not lift up a glass of water, the whole experience was him [her son] seeing me in bed most of the time in pain.''She lamented, “I don’t have a lot of memories of doing a lot of things activities that mothers typically do.”Another mother, An Na, with a 9 year-old arthritic daughter said, “My biggest fear is the side effects of taking strong medication to cope with her condition."Effective treatment with minimal side effects is available for patients like An Na's daughter and Nina, but it can come at a cost of more than $30,000 every year. Many require access to such medication for years. However, for most families in Singapore, this is something they cannot afford, even with government subsidies like Medisave, Medifund, MAF and MAF plus. National Arthritis Foundations' Patient Subsidy Care Fund supports arthritis patients who cannot afford it. There are over 45,000 people in Singapore like Nina, Ryan and An Na’s daughter who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis.You can support NAF's efforts to help these patients by contributing to its fund. And since NAF is an IPC-status charity, you will also receive a 250% tax rebate if your donation is $50 and above.Your gift will go towards changing the lives of many like them and to also help NAF further its objectives in fighting arthritis.
