New year, new goals—but when you live with autoimmune hepatitis or liver disease, it’s important to pause before adding supplements.

Our latest blog, “New Year, New Supplements? Safety Tips for AIH & Liver Disease,” explains why “natural” doesn’t always mean safe, highlights supplements like turmeric and ashwagandha that may raise liver risk, and reinforces why talking with your doctor first is essential.

✨ Be hopeful.
✨ Be informed.
✨ Be cautious—and protect your liver.

💙 THANK YOU for making December extraordinary. 💙

To everyone who made a donation to the Autoimmune Hepatitis Association in December, your generosity went even further than you imagined. Thanks to our TWO SPECIAL MATCHING donors, every December gift was matched twice, turning each donation into THREE TIMES the impact.

Your support helps strengthen our community, expand resources, and advance awareness for everyone affected by autoimmune hepatitis. We are deeply grateful for your belief in our mission and for standing with us.

Thank you for helping us start the new year with hope and momentum.

✨ Happy New Year from the Autoimmune Hepatitis Association! ✨

As we step into a new year, we’re filled with gratitude for this incredible community—patients, caregivers, advocates, donors, and supporters.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we’re building more awareness, more support, and more hope.

🌟Not every gift has to be big to be POWERFUL.🌟

As the year comes to a close, we’re inviting our community to take part in something simple and meaningful: a $10 contribution that goes further than you might expect. Thanks to a generous matching donor, every $10 gift is automatically increased to $30—tripling the impact at no extra cost to you.

For those giving for the first time, balancing multiple causes, or working within a limited budget, this is an easy and practical way to support our work. When many people give what they can, even modest amounts add up to real, measurable impact.

If you’re looking for a purposeful way to close out the year, the Power of $10—now with a $30 impact—is a strong place to start.
