For Christmas and the holiday season this year - Global Lyme & Invisible Illness Organisation will again be hosting the Blanket Fort Party for fun, games, and to have a place for laughs for those unable to leave home for Christmas..

We are also going to incorporate Co-Founder Lisa Hilton's, Christmas Wish-list into the "Holiday Seasons" Events.

This will involve:
1. Compiling a List of Children / Families who may not receive anything this Christmas as they (or their caregivers) live with Lyme & Co., and there is limited funds.

2. Compiling a List of Adults Wishes / Fundraisers they may have going for treatment / Living Expenses

3. Listing / Providing Links to patients selling art and craft for their treatment and living expenses.

4. Matching up people with those that may need items with those that have items to Give away.

5. Asking people to donate goods (wishes) or money / gift cards that will go to children / families that may have otherwise not receive anything.

We will be adding a page and making events for the Blanket Fort Party soon so stay tuned and check back please!

I am disabled with chronic lyme disease and have been for many years. I am on disability and have a very limited income. I am also limited in energy and "functional' time. But I used to be a jewelry maker and I was wondering if maybe I could make one or two items to donate to the cause. please keep me updated. I might also have a few things I could donate.
As far as things I need most, unfortunately they aren't one-time or material items. I don't have transportation to medical appointments. And we don't have a support group where I live. Those are things I need most. And I know the transportation is a huge problem for many of us. The bus is simply not an option. Any bus. They cause more damage than help.

Thanks for all that you do.

Hi April - Sorry to hear you have been so unwell for so long. It is awesome that you wish to use some of your functional time to help others. Thanks so much.

Re the transport to medical appointments - perhaps if we find out your location we can find a support group in your area that might be able to help with that.

Can you message us on our facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/worldwidelymeborreliosisassociation/

That way we can connect some more - and go from there.

Thanks again and may the day be treating you kind.
Karen, Co-founder GLiIO

Hi April, it is very nice that you want to help others that are in need. But we could also list some to sell so you can keep the money too since you are in the same boat as others. xo Let us know. If you have pictures we can get them posted for you.

My bame is linda and I have lyme disease and babesia. I am housebound everyday due to walking issues and the pain and fatigue from the lyme and babesia. I care for my son jimmy who is a brain tumor survivor. He was two whem he had surgery. He is very disabled. 23 now. Hes non verbal and like an infant to a four yr. Old. I am in need of treatment...I need help to cover the cost I must see my drs often and get my medicine. I would be so thankful as without treatment my disease gets worse and I cannot care for myself let alone my son. I cry as I write all this down because I thought id be on the giving side by now but it isnt so. Thank you and there are things we could use also. Gas cards for trips to drs. Pajamas for jimmmy and I.no buttons for him. Thank u again. Love linda n jimmy. Xo
