Joy's expertise in program development and implementation ensures that our projects are not only innovative but also sustainable and effective in achieving our goals.
Under Joy’s leadership, our charity thrives on a foundation of compassion, dedication, and a profound commitment to making a difference in the lives of those affected by MCAS. Her holistic approach, combining personal insight with professional acumen, drives our efforts to provide support, raise awareness, and advocate for better resources and understanding of this condition.
After years of helplessly watching her daughter suffer with a range of debilitating and unpredictable symptoms which impacted her life significantly, Joy's daughter was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Joy knows that they are fortunate to have a diagnosis and a supportive medical team and hopes by working to raise awareness and elevate the profile of MCAS, that others will find the support they need too.
Several years ago, Joy was diagnosed with MCAS. Joy's son has also been diagnosed with MCAS, PoTS and EDS, which has further inspired her to continue to support the MCAS community. Joy wants to do everything she can to support those living with MCAS and those caring for someone with MCAS.
Joy says
Living with MCAS is a daily challenge that can feel overwhelming and isolating. Through our charity, I am dedicated to ensuring that no one faces this journey alone. We are committed to providing the resources, education, and community support that are so desperately needed. My goal is to elevate the understanding of MCAS and advocate for better medical care and support systems. By raising awareness and fostering a compassionate community, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by this condition. Together, we can build a future where those with MCAS have the understanding, treatment, and support they need to live their fullest lives.
