I am putting this bracelet up for auction to help with my travel expenses to Washington DC, May 19th for the Lupus Advocacy Summit. The bidding will begin at $50.00. The highest bidder wins of course. Please comment your bids, that way everyone will know who is the highest bidder. Whoever wins can then pm me and I will let them know how to pay and give me their address. After receiving payment, I will ship the bracelet.
This bracelet in pinks and grays could almost be a statement piece. This is one of my beaded bracelets and is made with a variety of Czech glass rondelles in pinks and grays, along with Czech glass fire polished rounds. It has a base of Miyuki silver glass seed beads. It is actually 3 layers all beaded together to make one beautiful piece.
It is 7&1/4 inches long with a silver “fishes” toggle clasp. Free shipping.

Please everyone share this. It is very important that I raise enough money to be able to go to Washington DC in April. This is not a scam. You can go to the Lupus Foundation website to see it. I’m not sure about this being tax deductible, I don’t think so, but I am raising money to attend this event and the Lupus Foundation is certainly tax deductible.
Lupus is such a devastating disease. It can affect any part of the body, and the damage it does is painful. If you’ve ever had an infection, where the area was swollen and painful, imagine the same thing throughout your body. Help me get our state representatives to raise more money for research and education. Thanks so much.
I have a GoFundMe account, but you can also pay through PayPal @ NoraPreston@JewelryDesignsbyNora.

Today would be Daddy's birthday. If he were still alive, he would be 106 years old. For Daddy's birthday, I am asking that everyone donate $20.00 to help pay my travel expenses to go to the Lupus Foundation, Lupus Advocacy Summit. My page is Donations for Lupus Advocacy Summit in Washington DC. I have a GoFundMe account set up, but if you prefer you can PM me and I will give you my address or you can donate through PayPal @ Nora Preston@JewelryDesignsbyNora. Please reach down in your pocket and help, so that I can help others with this devastating disease. Thank you for your help.

I just want to say this is a very important summit. It is organized by the Lupus Foundation of America, in order for those who attend to learn from experts in the field about the latest in lupus research, connect with hundreds of their fellow lupus advocates, and turn Capitol Hill purple by advocating for their members of Congress to join our fight against this terrible disease.
You might ask what a lupus advocate does. Well, we educate our elected officials about lupus' devastating toll and hold them accountable for supporting policies to accelerate the search for new treatments and provide compassionate care for people living with the disease.
As the engine behind everything at the Lupus Foundation, the advocates have pushed forward policy change on a massive scale and have generated more that $179 million in federal funding for lupus research and education.
But there is so much more to be done. Please donate to help me make this trip. If you do not want to use GoFundMe, please PM me and I will give you my address, so that you can donate by mail. Or you can donate through PayPal @ Nora Preston@JewelryDesignsbyNora.
Please don't let me down. I know you can do $10.00, you probably have that much in the couch cushions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Please don't scroll by without reading this. Over the next few weeks, while I'm raising money for Donations for Lupus Advocacy Summit in Washington DC to better learn how to be an advocate for lupus patients and their families, I will be sharing information about what lupus is, and how it affects patients, the treatments and research efforts.
Lupus is a very unpredictable and often misunderstood autoimmune disease. It is difficult to diagnose, sometimes taking years to be correctly diagnosed. Lupus is hard to live with, and a challenge to treat. Lupus has a wide range of symptoms and frequently strikes without warning. I know what living with lupus is like because I've lived with it for a while now.
Lupus is a complicated disease, and it affects different people in different ways. For some, lupus can be mild - for others it can be life threatening. And it can go from mild to life threatening in a split second.
Right now, there is no cure for lupus and there is only one drug that is designed to threat lupus specifically. But with continued research efforts a cure can be found, or at least, better drugs to treat it. As of now, there is not enough research going on and that's where you and I come in. By supporting me and donating to help pay for my trip to Washington, I can learn to be a better advocate. Being an advocate means that I will frequently speak directly with our state representatives regarding how they can support research and development of medications to treat lupus. I will also help in raising the public awareness of what lupus is.
Please help fund my trip to Washington, so that I can help others. Please be aware that this is not a pleasure trip, as we will be in seminars all day on Monday and then on Tuesday, I will be meeting with my State Representative and Senator.
Thanks so much for your time and your donations.
