Brick Angels is an SJLUG charity project, in which the South Jersey Lego User Group designs and creates unique Lego sets along with instructions, and then works with it's members, collectors and the general public, to collect enough parts to create a number of sets based on their design. The sets are then produced, the instructions printed, and the sets are shipped to recipients from the current chosen group that we have chosen to feature. The club decides by vote at it's regular meetings on the next project and the next group to be benefitted from the sets.
Interested in donating parts? Here's the current parts list - and how many of each part is needed for the Current Set we're looking to produce!

Benefitting: Kids & Adults with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - Medical Zebras
It's no secret that the President of SJLUG, Kristie, and her son Kaedin, both have Type 3 Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that causes (among many things) chronic joint instability, joint pain and a whole host of related comorbidities. EDS-3 affects some one in 3100-5000 people. Unfortunately, because many of the symptoms of EDS can easily be mistaken for other, much more common health problems and because of the disorder's complexity, many patients are often misdiagnosed (some multiple times!) and a proper diagnosis can take as long as TEN years or more! Because doctors are taught "When you hear hoof beats, think Horses not Zebras" in medical school (AKA - Symptoms are most likely caused by the more obvious cause) - this has lead to people with EDS to be known as "Medical Zebras" - since our complicated but often common symptoms are caused not by simple "growing pains" or strains and sprains - but a VERY complex and often VERY painful, complicated medical condition that can be completely debilitating.
EDS was once thought to be a really RARE condition - is finally more in the public eye, and the EvansFamilyLegoProject - the name for the Evans Family as they worked towards gaining recognition of the disorder and spreading awareness - was the beginning of creating the collection that eventually turned into the creation of the South Jersey Lego User Group. As a result - it was natural for our first project - and it's benefactors - to be those with EDS as well.
