Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th – October 15th)

THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTING EARLY WHEN LIVING WITH LUPUS
Recognizing the Disproportionate Impacts of Lupus on Hispanic and Latinx Communities

Women of color are disproportionately affected by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of lupus. SLE is a chronic, inflammatory disease that can result in permanent damage to major organs.[1] Notably, it is estimated that 21 percent of those living with lupus in the U.S. are Hispanic.[2] Patients of color, including Hispanic people living with SLE, also have significantly higher rates of lupus nephritis (LN), a potentially life-threatening complication of lupus, compared to White patients.2

Hispanic and Latinx individuals may also face distinct challenges that can impact access to healthcare that may make managing the disease even more difficult, such as language barriers.[3],[4]

Fortunately, early intervention with the use of FDA-approved medications can help reduce the risk of organ damage progression.[5]

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, on Tuesday, September 24, Guillermo Valenzuela, M.D. is available to discuss the effect of lupus on the Hispanic and Latinx communities. Dr. Valenzuela, who is the Medical Director of the Internal Rheumatology and Immunology Specialists medical center, can also discuss the unique challenges these communities face and the importance of early disease intervention.

CDC reports that an estimated 41% of U.S. adults delayed or avoided medical care during the pandemic.

And according to a 2021 article, breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer screenings dropped by more than 80% during the pandemic. While screenings have since improved, they have not returned to normal levels. These missed screenings mean people will be diagnosed at a later stage of cancer when it’s more difficult to treat, and experts have predicted these delays will result in an excess of 10,000 deaths from breast and colorectal cancer alone.

CDC urges Americans not to wait for symptoms when it comes to cancer, including breast, cervical, colon and lung cancers. The CDC Foundation and its Preventing Infections in Cancer Patients program developed a PSA, poster campaign, and a Cancer Screening Guide to help educate and encourage people to get cancer screening tests that can prevent or detect cancer early. Many of those resources are also available in Spanish.

In honor of National Cancer Survivors Day, CDC’s Dr. Lisa Richardson discusses the need for Americans to return to their routine healthcare appointments, cancer screenings, and cancer treatments.

Lisa Richardson, MD, MPH, is the director, Division of Cancer Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Dear Friends and Supporters of The Giving Back Foundation,First, we are delighted to tell you that the first Inaugural Gala of the Giving Back Foundation will take place in New York City at the Pierre Hotel on March 19, 2014.  The event is listed on our Website at www.TheGivingBackFoundation.net, and we will be updating you in a separate communication with all of the details very shortly!This is the last newsletter of 2013. We want to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful Holiday season as we give thanks for all of you who are involved in the journey of Giving Back. God Bless you all from Meera Gandhi and The entire Giving Back Foundation Team! The Foundation is thankful for the continued support of our partners and affiliates. An update of The Foundation’s global humanitarian efforts during the past few weeks:   November 8, 2013: NEW DELHI and LONDON: SKYPE EXCHANGE Between GBF Affiliate Schools in London and New Delhi The Giving Back Foundation coordinated and sponsored the first International Skype Exchange between two of our partner schools for youngsters, St. Michael’s in New Delhi and St. George’s in London. The first Skype meeting was held between students at the two schools to promote international cultural understanding at the grammar school level, and to offer an interesting exchange to the young pupils on the merits of philanthropy and “Giving Back.” The children even sang a song to each other over Skype, in Hindi and in English. One of the children from St Michael’s India said “We can’t wait for next week to Skype again, this was so interesting and fun.” Special thanks to: Rev Timothy Shaw, Sunita Rana, Erin Medjoubi and Alan Berry for making this happen.   October 25th 2013: PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY: HOPE 2013 The Giving Back Foundation’s CEO and Founder Meera Gandhi delivered the keynote speech at Hope 2013, a philanthropic event in Princeton, New Jersey on October 25, 2013. Kabir Gandhi also accompanied his mum to the evening. Two extraordinary teenagers, Rachel and Matthew Asir, hosted a special fundraising dinner for over 250 guests that included sitar music and dance performances by Matthew and Rachel, to raise “funds for justice” for young immigrants in the United States. The funds are used to secure legal help for very young people, who, through no fault of their own, are often without any legal representation.   October 13th 2013: NEW YORK CITY: CHILDREN’S HOPE INDIA For the second year, The Giving Back Foundation was delighted to participate in Children’s Hope India in New York City on October 13, 2013, by bestowing grants to South Asian immigrant students attending Bernard Baruch University in Manhattan.   October 12th 2013: LONDON The Giving Back Foundation participated in and congratulates The Clinton Foundation for a very successful panel discussion and Q and A in London on Oct 12th with President Bill Clinton, Mrs Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton. Many global humanitarian issues were discussed.   October 17th 2013: MIAMI The Giving Back Foundation is pleased to announce its new partnership with “Give to Colombia.” On Oct 12th, Angela Tafur Barco and her husband held an extraordinary gathering of like minded people in the Latin Community in Miami to support this cause. Angela Maria Tafur’s Give To Colombia (G2C) initiative, a US-based non-profit that creates and promotes alliances between international donors and colombian grassroots organizations; G2C delivers world-class expertise and services to colombian philanthropic activities.   October 12th 2013: LONDON Again, The Giving back Foundation and Meera Gandhi wish to thank and congratulate Mrs. Cherie Blair and her foundation for an excellent women’s event—bringing together women from all over the world in the English countryside to discuss global issues over tea. The evening concluded with a cookery demonstration where Mrs. Blair did mention that she herself enjoyed preparing meals for her family whenever she could. Bravo, to dear Cherie from all of us at the Giving Back Foundation.
