To offer legal support, we count on a few collaborators at this moment, as we don’t have a program of collaborators yet. The legal support is essential to recently affected people and their relatives because people often don’t know the rights and guarantees their new condition brings. Here we have a video so you can learn more about this.
Another serious problem is when the person living with Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy – LHON suffers some kind of discrimination or goes through situations in which the new condition prevents them from achieving something. At these moments, the accompaniment of a lawyer is very important to keep fighting. Do you have any story that you would like to share with us? Go to our affected and relatives’ stories sector. This can help us know which types of professionals we should select to collaborate with Reconvexo apart from lawyers.
To better perform this activity, we would also need a team to create the program, to select the collaborators – because we want quality people supporting the affected and their relatives – and, finally, to establish a system of approach between those in need and those that are helping.
