Advocacy Organizations
CaeAli foundation
As an NMOSD patient, my mission is to give hope and offer support through the giving of flowers, at hospitals, infusion centers and various charitable events. My vision is to reach early career physicians, neurologists and ER staffs and be there at their ceremonial/graduation events and give celebratory flowers and educational tools around rare diseases.
