Help Us Raise $50,000 and Double Your Impact!

At Connective Strength, we are passionate about helping Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) patients, their families, and the medical professionals who care for them. We’ve received an incredible pledge of $15,000 in matching funds for our end-of-year fundraiser, which means that every dollar you give will be doubled! But we can’t stop there—our goal is to raise $50,000 to ensure we can continue our mission into 2025.

Why This Matters

Your donations will support the completion of our next two books, Graceful Journey: Navigating Healthcare Resiliently and Graceful Days: Thriving in Everyday Life with EDS. These books are part of our Graceful Series, which has already helped countless patients and providers better understand and navigate the complexities of EDS. The first book, Graceful Strength, has been praised for its accessible approach and life-changing insights.

But we’re more than just a book publisher. Our all-volunteer organization runs 24-36 patient and caregiver support meetings annually, provides educational resources to healthcare professionals, and creates community awareness around EDS. Our work helps connect patients with the right care and support, empowering them to live fuller lives.

Where Your Donation Goes

Reaching our $50,000 goal will fund:

Printing and shipping Graceful Journey and Graceful Days
Cover and interior artwork, writing, and editing for the books
Community outreach and education programs for patients and healthcare providers
Operational costs that allow us to continue offering free and low-cost resources

Why Now?

Thanks to our $15,000 matching gift this year, your donation will go twice as far. By contributing now, you are helping us fund two books and securing the future of our educational programs and support for the next year.

We’ve made great strides but need your help to finish strong. With your support, we can continue making a difference in the lives of EDS patients and their families.

Together, We’re Stronger

Please consider donating today, sharing our fundraiser with friends and family, and helping us reach our goal. Every dollar brings us closer to empowering patients and educating healthcare professionals. Let’s make 2025 the year where EDS patients find the support and understanding they deserve.
