These groups are part of an expanding range of Arthritis Foundation resources that provides personalized help & support to parents who have a child/teen with a childhood rheumatic disease.

Hi,
 my only hope is that people really hear me because I really need support. My daughter was diagnosed while I was deployed and now that I'm home trying to get her the care she needs is hard. She's struggling and wants to meet kids her age that are going through the same struggles. She's 11yr old and in 6th grade. Does anyone know of resources or groups near Tulsa? Just text me please and reach out because we're both tired of crying. 9184087469. I'm  Arielle .
