Nice to meet you!

We are so glad you signed up for our Wellness Challenge this round and are excited to support you in managing your lymphedema. At Ninjas Fighting Lymphedema Foundation, we love getting to know each and everyone in the lymphedema community.
So tell us a little about yourself and why you joined this program!
We're so excited to work with you!
Lymphedema affects everyone differently, both physically and emotionally. If you're open to sharing, could you tell us some of the areas of your life that are more challenging because of lymphedema right now? Are there any hobbies or activities that lymphedema is keeping you from enjoying?
No matter where you are in managing your lymphedema, we want to support you in finding or getting back to the things you love to do!
Thanks for sharing all of that!

Now you might have already told us where your lymphedema is, but for our application process to work it's best, we need you to go ahead and check off all the regions you have swelling in so we can make sure we didn't miss anything!

For your safety and in order to help you get exactly what you need for your lymphedema, we require everyone we support to be under the care of a lymphedema therapist. Are you currently working with one?
Yes!
I recently graduated from therapy, woohoo!
No, I need help finding one. (We can support you in locating a therapist however please note that any co-pays or other fees required by your therapist are not covered by Ninjas Fighting Lymphedema Foundation)
If you are currently working with a therapist or graduated therapy within the last 30 days, please tell us how to get in touch with your therapist here:
Include the first and last name of your therapist, their facility or clinic name, their phone number, and email address if possible. Not all therapists share their email addresses, so we understand if you can only give us their phone number right now!
Now that we know all about you and your lymphedema, we do need to ask some questions about your financial situation based on the rules and regulations of our non-profit organization.
*
Your insurance and income information do not immediately qualify or disqualify you for support from Ninjas Fighting Lymphedema Foundation, so please answer as best you can so we can make sure we have all the information we need to consider your application as a whole! We understand that caring for lymphedema (and any other health issues you or your family may be dealing with) can be expensive no matter what your financial situation looks like on paper!
