Share your story

Learn how you can get involved and share your own story to help support people living with PI and their communities.

Only you can tell your story

Because primary immunodeficiency (PI) is rare, you may not often hear stories like your own. But you can change that. Let others know about your experiences living with PI, speak about someone you love and care about who lives with PI, or share about donating plasma. Together, we can help increase awareness of PI and inspire others. 

We use these stories on our website, at events, in print materials, and for advocacy initiatives. You are making a difference by putting a face on a condition that most people in the United States don't even know about. And since it's estimated that 70-90% of people with a PI don't even know they have it, you just might be helping another person get diagnosed.  

Whether you choose to share in writing, via audio, via video, or in person, know that your story is uniquely yours and can inspire others. 

Your story. Your voice. Your impact.

Share your experience with immune deficiency and become a stronger advocate. After you submit your story and photo, the Immune Deficiency Foundation will create a personalized advocacy one-pager you can use when speaking with policymakers, community leaders, and others about the realities of living with immune deficiency.
