Up until it nearly killed her, Dr. Chantrise Holliman was not worried about the harm lupus could do to her heart.

The educator had been diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder when she was in her early 30s, after a doctor realized it was what had been causing the excruciating pain in her joints. But despite occasional flare-ups, Chantrise figured she was in pretty good shape. After all, she was running half-marathons and watching her diet. "I was eating the kale," she said. "And I thought I was healthy, until I almost died."

Heart problems are common with lupus, experts say. Lupus turns the body's immune system, which protects against viruses and bacteria, against itself, attacking the bodies tissues.

After Chantrise's heart attack, lupus complicated her recovery, her cardiologist told her. Her immune system fought off medications given to treat her heart attack. Her heart stopped and had to be shocked several times. Infection set in. She had already been dealing with lupus-related Raynaud's syndrome, which restricts the flow of blood. Doctors had to amputate her legs, and she nearly lost the tips of her fingers, ears and nose, too.

But to the amazement of her doctors, Chantrise pulled through. She now works as a contractor for the CDC, designing instructional materials, and retells her story as a volunteer for the American Heart Association.

She urges people with lupus to take care of themselves. "Don't wait until your body's falling apart before you go to the doctor. Make your appointments and keep your appointments. I was the queen of making appointments and then canceling them because I had, quote unquote, 'other things to do.' I did not take this disease seriously enough."

Today, we’re ashamed to see the House Agriculture Committee majority push through a Farm Bill that will harm kids by making it harder for families to make ends meet.

SNAP is designed to help families put food on the table, and the shortsighted cuts in the House Farm Bill will further limit its effectiveness.

As we continue to follow the developments, No Kid Hungry is committed to work with bipartisan anti-hunger champions in the House and Senate to advance a Farm Bill that supports families and kids by protecting and strengthening SNAP.

These two Red Cross Water Safety Instructors are heroes. 🫶🏾

While Askia Bashir and Kamau Hogan were working at a recreation center in Atlanta, Georgia, someone ran into the pool area yelling for help. A woman was choking in the upstairs auditorium.

Kamau was on duty as a lifeguard that day and knew he couldn't leave his post, so he immediately sent Askia to respond.

Askia went upstairs to find the 93-year-old woman slumped over in her wheelchair. She was playing bingo when she choked on an unknown object and passed out.

Everyone around Askia was panicked, but his training kept him calm and able to provide care. He cleared the woman's airway and she began breathing again and regained consciousness.

Thanks to their quick thinking and actions, Askia and Kamau received a Lifesaving Award for Professional Responders from the Georgia Red Cross. Join us in sharing appreciation and gratitude for Kamau and Askia in the comments!

The predicts that overall food costs in the US will increase by 2.5% in 2024. This comes on top of years of increases, including the country’s second-highest jump of ~10% in 2022, and a nearly 6% increase in 2023. These rising prices are straining wallets – and leaving already-vulnerable families even more susceptible to food insecurity.
