About CARE

At CARE for People with Chronic and Invisible Illnesses, we've chosen the swan as our mascot to represent the hidden struggles faced by those living with these conditions. The swan's graceful glide on the water's surface, while its legs work tirelessly beneath, mirrors the experiences of individuals who appear "normal" but are constantly managing symptoms. This elegant creature symbolizes the resilience, strength, and determination within our community. As we advocate, research, educate, and support those affected, the swan inspires us to create a compassionate, inclusive world where everyone's struggles are acknowledged and met with unwavering support.
