The CTV Good Neighbour Fund is a registered non-profit charitable organization that has operated quietly and efficiently in Edmonton and North Central Alberta since 1993. The volunteer Board of Directors gathers monthly to review applications for assistance. There are few criteria except that the applicant must have exhausted all other avenues of funding through existing sources and they must show that they have some level of financial stability. Most applications come to the Good Neighbour Fund from social workers familiar with the system, who understand the limitations of existing funding sources, and who recognize that help from the CTV Good Neighbour Fund would move this individual or family forward and lead to their future success as strong, contributing members of our community.

Lupus is a very complex disease that can be difficult to diagnose and can affect people in many different ways. It is an autoimmune disease which causes inflammation of body organs when the immune system, which normally protects the body, turns against itself and attacks it. Lupus can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, heart and kidneys. It can affect men, women and children. There is no known cause and no known cure. People with lupus often have no visible signs of the disease, making it difficult for others to understand how someone who looks so good can be so sick. The BC Lupus Society is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those living with lupus in British Columbia.
