Empowering College Students Confronting Chronic Illness or Disability through Scholarships and Emotional Support

About Bella Soul

Empowering college students faced with chronic illness, physical disabilities, and disease through scholarships and emotional support.

Bella Soul is trying to take a holistic view on health and disease by social networking young adults to share their experiences on what works and does not work for mental and physical well-being. The ultimate purpose for this organization is to help young adults feel in control of their body and situation no matter what circumstances they may find themselves in. Sickness can take away your body, but nothing can take away your Soul!

We want to emphasize that this site is not a replacement for doctors and/or medical professionals.

You are not alone in your fight! The world can be a tough place and life can knock you down, but do not give up. There are others here to help. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to get involved or want to share your story.
