In honor of
Michelle Brown
From Robin Brown
heart
My wife, Michelle battled bravely all her life with HSP (Henoch Schloen Purpurra), a rare autoimmune disease which took both of her kidneys at age 29 and eventually her life at age 49. I am so grateful to God for AKF and all the Healthcare people who helped us in her journey which has been our journey. I hope my small monthly gift will help in this fight
