WHY I’M ASKING FOR HELP:
For 16 years, I’ve fought this battle of Chronic Lyme Disease with diminishing resources. My husband bears the entire caregiving burden alone. We cannot pay medical expenses and rent on our income while I’m in year 3 of disability appeals.
I’m not asking for a cure – I know that may not be possible. I’m asking for QUALITY OF LIFE:
✓ Reduce pain enough to hug my grandson without crying
✓ Stabilize blood pressure so I can leave bed without fainting
✓ Reduce seizures so I’m not a danger to myself
✓ Clear brain inflammation so I can think clearly
✓ Repair cardiac damage to prevent another heart attack
✓ Detoxify my body so it can heal instead of declining
✓ Regain enough function to shower independently
✓ Give my husband a partner again, not just a patient
✓ Spend time with my grandson while I still can
✓ Have HOPE again
HOW YOUR DONATION WILL BE USED:
Every dollar goes directly to:
Advanced therapies (ozone, plasmapheresis, exosomes)
Weekly detox IV infusions
Critical diagnostic testing
Medications not covered by insurance
$5K for physician testimony for disability appeal
Follow-up monitoring and lab work
I will provide FULL TRANSPARENCY with receipts and updates.
A MESSAGE OF HOPE:
President Trump and RFK Jr. recently held a roundtable acknowledging Lyme disease exists. That’s a start. But 476,000+ Americans diagnosed annually still can’t access treatment because insurance denies coverage.
We need:
Mandatory physician training through ILADS.org
Updated insurance coverage policies
Federal funding for treatment access
Streamlined disability approval
Until systemic change happens, I’m asking my community for help.
PLEASE WATCH “BRAIN ON FIRE” starring Chloë Grace Moretz to understand neurological illness and encephalitis. My story mirrors that film. The brain inflammation is real, medical, and treatable when the right interventions are available.
I don’t know how much longer I have if I can’t access these treatments. What I do know is that I want to fight. I want to be here for my grandson. I want to reduce my suffering. I want a chance.
PLEASE HELP ME GET THAT CHANCE.

FAQ:
Q: Why doesn’t insurance cover this?
A: Insurance companies use outdated guidelines that assume all Lyme is cured with 2-4 weeks of antibiotics, despite scientific evidence proving chronic Lyme exists.
Q: Why can’t you work?
A: 15 migraines/month, can’t drive, POTS leaving me collapsed or at stroke risk, severe circadian rhythm disorder, Crohn’s requiring immediate bathroom access, chronic pain, brain fog, seizure disorder. No employer can accommodate unpredictable medical crises multiple times daily.
Q: What about disability?
A: Year 3 of appeals. Need $5K for doctor testimony. Even if approved, SSI is minimal and doesn’t cover $60K+ annual medical costs.
Q: Have you tried other treatments?
A: 16 years of antibiotics, herbals, medications, diet changes, supplements. I use infrared sauna at home twice daily. My case requires advanced clinical interventions.
Q: How do I know this is real?
A: I can provide documentation (with personal info removed) and will post regular updates with receipts showing fund usage.
