One of the biggest sources of support for families when their child receives a diagnosis of JIA is receiving a Little Box of Hope pack that our volunteers put together and send out.
Here's 8 year old Leo receiving his box.

"Arthritis that develops in children is called childhood arthritis (or juvenile arthritis).
Childhood arthritis begins when the immune system becomes overactive, leading to joint and body swelling.​"
