More details
JIA is a painful disease that causes children to be affected everyday of their lives. As parents is exhausting and distressing seeing your child in constant pain and struggling with simple everyday tasks, other normal kids don't have to even think about doing. Having to fight for a benefit for your child and prove their eligibility is unfair when you have the medication, professional diagnosis and substantial photographic and video evidence to support our claim.
