I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request as I prepare for the Lupus Foundation of America's annual Walk to End Lupus Now®.

Last year, thanks to your incredible support, I was able to raise $500 for this vital cause. This year, I am setting my sights higher. In memory of my dear friend Andrea Samuels (Dre), who tragically passed away in March 2022 due to complications from lupus, I am determined to raise $1,500.

Andrea's battle with lupus was courageous, and her memory continues to inspire me every day. I am committed to doing everything I can to support others who are living with this relentless disease. Your donation would mean the world to me and would make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by lupus.

The mission of the Lupus Foundation of America is truly life-saving. Every step taken and every dollar raised brings us closer to finding a cure for this cruel illness. Together, we can unravel the mysteries of lupus and provide hope to countless individuals and families who are affected by it.

I understand that times are tough for everyone, but even the smallest donation can have a big impact.

Additionally, I encourage you to inquire with your employer about their matching gift program. By participating in such programs, you have the opportunity to double your donation and further advance the mission of the Lupus Foundation of America.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for considering my request. Your kindness and generosity will not go unnoticed, and your support will be cherished by so many.

With warmest regards,

Annetta
