Unite with us in our mission to uplift and empower the Lupus community through education, advocacy, and unwavering support.
Our Mission
We as the Lupus Lotus Warriors strive to help the Lupus community as a whole through our multiple ways of outreach such as social media via Facebook and Instagram. Through these different modalities, we post daily inspirational posts that make our forum unique and special. We host monthly support group meetings via Zoom that have a different topic each month while fostering a safe space and friendship that knows no limits! Lastly, we send out a quarterly newsletter with various topics, information, and fun tidbits that make it a unique piece of literature. Although we are based in the greater Pittsburgh area, we would like to believe our impact is on a global scale for anyone whose life is affected by Lupus!
Our Vision
As the Lupus Lotus Warriors, our goal is to impact the Lupus community by educating, advocating, spreading awareness, supporting, and helping others through our ongoing ways of outreach. We hope to raise money to help Lupus warriors and their families with daily living needs through the help of our fiscal sponsor. We plan on continuing to spread hope and positivity as we impact and help as many people as we can.

Why the Lotus Flower
The lotus flower not only has a very beautiful story but also a very meaningful story behind its symbol. As the flower rises from muddy waters to fully bloom in all its glory, it represents strength, resilience, perseverance, and hope. In this sense, the lotus flower is much like the butterfly, a symbol of Lupus we all know well. Like the butterfly, the lotus flower represents a transformation into something beautiful and the arduous journey it endeavors along the way.
As the lotus flower is a day-blooming flower, it emerges every day after submerging in the depths of the dark, murky waters. We take this symbolism as having to rise each day with strength, resilience, and perseverance as a Lupus warrior! It is never easy, but we continue to fight with grace and hope and that is why we are the Lupus Lotus Warriors!
