San Antonio - Military & Veteran's Connect Group

Hello Gabriela D.,

My name is Viola and i just joined.  I live in Taft, Texas.  Its a small town.  Population of about 3,000+.  I am about 30 miles north of Corpus Christi, Texas.  I am so happy to be part of this group.  In my town, I know of quite a bit of people who have an auto immune disease.  I wish I could start some kind of support group in my town and meet with these people at least once a month.  When I see these people at the grocery store or around town (of course, before covid), we would always share the same stories about our illnesses and how people or some family members don't quite understand this disease.  It would be nice to be able to have such group and share our stories the person with this immune disease know that they are not alone and that it is okay to feel what we feel.  It is not a psychological thing with pain.  

Thank you for your time and am glad i joined.  Hope you are having a pain free day! Stay Safe!  #KeepTheFaith     Viola T.
