11 year old Sylvia was diagnosed with Lupus Sle and Nephritis and is currently undergoing chemo therapy to put it into remission. Sylvia is a remarkable young lady who has taken this diagnosis by the horns and created ways to help others in her situation. Sylvia has created a support group for other children with Lupus @lupuskids on Instagram. She has also started Protecting Our Butterflies, where she collects sunblock to give to there children fighting Lupus who have sensitivity to the sun.
Sylvia has personality that goes on for days and she had us all in tears with her jokes- one right after another. We are blown away by this girls enthusiasm for life and are honored to share Sylvia with SNS.
