About Us.
ChronicWarriors.org is a Central Florida based non-profit that began with a single chronic illness warrior, Sadie, and a vision to help others.
What began as SadieStyle, inc. has transitioned to ChronicWarriorsOrg, inc – a collective of chronic illness warriors and healthy humans coming together to improve life and eliminate isolation for illness warriors around the globe!
Thanks to the shelter-in-place orders as a result of this global pandemic, healthy humans everywhere have experienced what it is like to miss out on life, have to cancel plans, and to be cut off from friends and family… a glimpse into the lonely life of an illness warrior.
We invite you to join us as we build projects that will connect and change the world for illness warriors everywhere!
Keep Up with the Collective!
