Bertahan Bahagia
Hadir untuk menemanimu berdamai dengan kondisimu dengan memastikan kamu punya tempat untuk didengar, teman untuk berbagi, dan komunitas yang mengerti.
Kadang yang paling berat bukan hanya rasa sakitnya tapi semua yang datang bersamanya.
Receiving a life-altering diagnosis can feel incredibly lonely. Suddenly, so much changes: your routine, your plans, and the way your body works. And in the midst of it all, lies another heavy, unseen burden.
It’s the isolation of feeling like no one truly understands what you’re going through. It’s the discomfort of pity—the lingering stares, the shifts in tone, and the changes in how people treat you that inadvertently make you feel weaker than you actually are. And then there are those moments of sheer exhaustion—tired of fighting, tired of pretending to be okay, and quietly wondering: how much longer?
We don’t have a magic cure for any of this. But after two decades of supporting Odapus (Lupus survivors) and friends with low vision, we know one thing for certain: the burden feels so much lighter when you don't have to carry it alone.
Bertahan Bahagia hadir untuk menjawab semua itu bukan hanya rasa sakitnya, tapi semua yang datang bersamanya.

What do they say?
Ardinal Purbowo
Person with Low Vision
At SDF Bandung, I have experienced a 'mentarimorfosa' (metamorphosis) from the old Bowo to the Bowo I am today. I have participated in various trainings such as aromatherapy massage, talking computers, plant cultivation development, and business workshops Alhamdulillah, kini saya mampu menjalankan usaha pijat dan kos-kosan. BriCane adalah hadiah terindah dari SDF untuk saya karena BriCane merupakan tongkat yang selalu saya impikan dan sangat berarti bagi saya. Harapan saya, SDF terus berjaya dan semakin maju dalam mengembangkan alat bantu bagi tunanetra.
Abelda
Person with Lupus
SDF means a lot to me. Since I was diagnosed with lupus, my parents introduced me to SDF. Thanks to SDF, I always felt full of hope during my treatment until I was declared in remission after almost 5 years. Thank you SDF, may you always spread kindness and inspire lupus warriors.
Prita Maharani
Person with Lupus
I am very happy to be a part of this autoimmune community, where we support and motivate each other as fellow autoimmune survivors. Through this community, low vision I also had the opportunity to teach English to elementary school students. This has been an amazing journey because I have wonderful, smart students who have a high spirit for learning English."
