THE HS ANGEL NETWORK P.O. BOX 321 COATESVILLE, IN 46121

The HS Angel Network was created by sufferers and for sufferers of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). If you are having HS-related surgery, hard times, celebrating a special day, or whatever the occasion may be... we are here for you and would like to provide you with some extra support & inspiration. We are HS sufferers ourselves and we know what you are going through, we could all use a little extra TLC to lift our spirits from time to time, and that's what we are here for. Love is a powerful thing, and we have a lot of it to give. It is also our weapon, our strength, and our way of coping with this painful disease that has no known cause or cure. Hopefully one day there will no longer be a need for us, and HS will be a thing of the past, but until then we stand strong and will continue to be here for those who want us to be!
There are 3 of us that have bonded together for the same cause...to help support others who suffer from the same condition we do. Our names are not important, because being an HS Angel is not about recognition... and we don't want you to feel obligated in any way to thank us for anything we may do, all we ask in return is that when you see a fellow HS sufferer in need of a friend, or someone to lean on... reach out to them even if there is nothing you can say or do to ease their pain, sometimes just listening and letting them know you do care can mean more than you'll ever know!
HOW CAN YOU HELP THE HS ANGEL NETWORK? We send out snail mail cards to our members such as: Thinking of you, Get Well Soon, Surgery Related, Births, Weddings, Sympathy, etc. on a daily basis. Everything we send comes out of our own pockets and hearts, and with your help... we could reach even more of our fellow sufferers around the world! We are continuously in need of Postage Stamps, which are now up to 42 cents each. Stamps are like gold to the HS Angels, and if you would like to provide us with some, we thank you with all our hearts and you can send them to: THE HS ANGEL NETWORK P.O. BOX 321 COATESVILLE, IN 46121
Wondering What You Can Do To Help Others... And Yourself? There are so many wonderful ways you can get involved with your online HS Community. You can share your personal experiences with others, or if that is too big of a step, share them with only a select few. Sometimes what you've gone through can be a great deal of help to others and a great way of letting them know they are not alone. Say "Hello" to the new folks as they arrive as a new member of a group. Something short and sweet should be just fine. Ask around and see if there is a project going on that could use your help. There are no small parts at all when you have HS, and anything you can do is appreciated. Sign the petition... Pass it on to family and friends... Take a brochure with you to the doctor... Take a few more to leave in the waiting area. We could go on and on with this delightful way of sharing and making a difference in the HS Community. What ways can you think of? Yes, it will make a difference! We are all in this battle together, and together we can bond To Make A Difference! We challenge each of you to make a stand or come out from hiding and shout: I AM READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE... I AM READY TO STOP HIDING... I AM READY TO START POSTING... I AM READY TO SAY HELLO... I AM READY TO START HELPING MY HS COMMUNITY!
You can start right now by taking just a few moments to sign:
There are many wonderful places on the web where sufferers of Hidradenitis Suppurativa can find support, give support, and communicate with others who truly understand what it's like to live with HS. Did you know there are HS-related groups on the web that are state specific? Did you know some of them have get-togethers, plan events, and collect information in their states that may help others? Did you know that by joining a group in your state, you might make some new friends that you could meet face to face, who know exactly what you have been going through? We hope you will take this opportunity to join your state's group today if you haven't done so already!
