Salathiel Deloach, known as Lent Warrior in VR, faced the challenge of living with lupus—a condition that affects not just the body, but the spirit. Despite the constant joint pain and fatigue, she channels her resilience into founding the Deloach Lupus Foundation, a pillar of support for others battling lupus. Her story is a testament to finding meaning and purpose in pain. Beyond the surface, Salathiel's narrative encourages us to look deeper, as everyone carries battles invisible to the eye.

In a heartfelt exploration, personal stories shed light on the impact of a lupus diagnosis, where dreams and aspirations can feel abruptly stolen. These personal accounts highlight the profound journey through identity loss, healthcare struggles, and ultimately, rediscovering faith. By embracing acceptance and empathy, our experiences become a spring of strength, inspiring support for others in their battles. Through such transformative journeys, the importance of not judging others by appearances becomes crystal clear, as unseen struggles often forge the strongest spirits.
