”My name is Sabeen Faraz. I am 48 years old and a warrior living with Von Willebrand disease. While this condition has presented many obstacles, I have learned that difficulties do not exist to stop us; they exist to teach us how to manage, how to persevere, and how to truly live.
I am a married woman, an online Quran teacher, and the owner of a clothing business. I work for myself and take immense pride in living an independent, happy life. My journey is proof that your diagnosis does not define your destiny.”
A Strong Message to My Friends
To my dear friends and fellow travelers on this journey called life:
Strength is Not the Absence of Pain: True strength is found in the way we rise after the hardest days. Having a condition like Von Willebrand disease might change the way I live, but it will never change my worth or my will.
