About Chronic Joy®
WELCOME!
Chronic Joy is a global resource ministry dedicated to compassionately serving all those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, and disability by providing accessible, easy-to-use, faith-based educational resources and publications.
We believe every life is precious, vital, and eternally purposed. Without even one, the Body of Christ is incomplete.
How is Chronic Joy relevant to you? Did you know that:
- over half of the world’s population lives with one or more chronic illnesses.
- many live with mental illness, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
- caregivers provide care for loved ones (spouses, children, and aging parents—often providing simultaneous care).
- too many children live with one or more chronic illnesses.
- every 40 seconds, we lose one precious life to suicide.
Chronic Joy is making a difference, one precious life at a time.

Pamela Piquette
Executive Director and Co-Founder of Chronic Joy®
Pamela, a leader and a visionary following God's call to inspire those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, and chronic pain, believes that every precious life impacted by illness is both vital and purposed.
Pamela is a wife of more than 35 years, the mom of three married children, and a grandma of six. She is diagnosed with chronic migraines and other chronic conditions. She enjoys baking sourdough bread and chocolate chip cookies, drinking hot tea, being outdoors, and reading (almost always more than one book at a time).
Cindee Snider Re
Author, Designer, and Co-Founder of Chronic Joy®
Cindee is married to the man she loves most in this world, mama to five adult kids, four of whom are married, and Lolli to an adorable grandson. Cindee and her five kids have Ehlers-Danlos, intractable migraines, and myriad co-existing conditions. While a life steeped in illness is not what she would have chosen, through it, she’s learning that the deeper the valley, the greater her capacity for joy.
Cindee is the author of Discovering Hope, Finding Purpose, Embracing Worth, and I Take You in Sickness and in Health.
