Long Covid Families is a nonprofit that focuses on helping caregivers, children and individuals with long-term complications from COVID-19 and other triggered illnesses.
We are amplifying the voices of those lives have been changed by Long Covid and Post Covid Conditions.
Our team has put a lot of thought into how we would like to tell patient stories. We believe it's important for the public to understand the seriousness of the illness, and that we do need support, but we want to stay away from portraying our population as helpless victims. This illness is nasty and can be relentless, but we are strong.
For this reason, we feel it's important to talk about the strengths and likes of the individual and end with what we need from the community, or our "wish list."
We are open to sharing anonymous stories as well since COVID has been so heavily politicized.
