Shari's Wish for her Son

20/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Jason, now 29 years old, has been sick unable to work outside the home his whole life. He is also not well enough to socialize and enjoy the things people his age expect to do. Even walking the dog around the block is a big challenge for him so he cannot do it often. This year he tried to take a Tai Chi class and got through it in part although it proved to be too much for him.

Jason was diagnosed with a seizure disorder last year and also has all the typical health issues that late Lyme patients have. This includes pain, muscle spasms, severe TMJ, digestive issues, food and chemical/enviro sensitivities, neuro issues and more. For years it was a regular thing to visit the ER as his liver was inflamed and his digestive tract would just shut right now. Although he is not functional, he is keeping out of the ER at least in recent years.

He needs: Cotton Pajama pants- size XXL Cotton socks- extra large ones- not the typical man's size. Boots- size 10- light winter - easy to walk in. Money for treatment from local Naturapath and Cranial Sacral thereapist that was helping.

Colloidial Silver CoQ10 Essential Oils -out of most- and Young Living brand blends all have appealed to him. and Diffuser Water Ozonater Air filter replacement filters for Air Tech. Charcoal- hepa

Propolis D3 K2 B vitamins Digestive enzymes Milk Thistle Anything from Bruhner, Cowden or Dr Jernigan that people may have extra to gift as he is open to trying different approaches. Grounding bed sheet- or pad/ "Earthing", aka grounding supplies as his wrist band broke and he has been finding staying connected to a grounding cord helps while sleeping. He has been doing this for 5 years now. Books so I can help him get better- he does not read much now but can absorb parts. I do research and share with him, then he reads the parts he feels he needs most. 1) Why Can't I Get Better by Dr Horowitz 2) Chronic Illness as an Access to Quantum Healing by Jenny Rush 3)Healing Lyme: Natural Healing of Lyme by Stephen Buhner Jason love crystals and dipping beeswax candle- and would welcome anything like that. Thanks dearly to anyone out there who gets this message and sends it to where it can help my son.

Mom's Plea of Help for her Daughter:
Please help my daughter, Destiny. We may not be able to cure her chronic Lyme disease or help her get relief from the constant pain from Fibromyalgia but I want to at least get her 4 wisdom teeth and 1 root canal taken care of. One of her wisdom teeth's root is so close to the nerve that it could cause seriois damage. During this time of goodwill to others please help with whatever you can. Every bit counts. If lots of people give a little we can reach our goal.

​ Please share this with others.

​The Situation:
​
I totally hate asking for help but I really need some help. In the last year in my life I have lost my father, my sole financial benefactor to a stroke and been struggling with basic needs lately. My father foolishly left nothing to us kids other than his debt. I am also not able to pay to see my lyme literate Dr and pay for car repairs to my suv to get to the dr. Not to mention that I ended up being homeless more times than i can count. I really dont have a ball park for my wish but i will gladly appreciate any and all donations. I really hope someone can help me and that all of your wishes come true this year and years to come.

If you would like to help David by sending him a card or  making a donation, please Contact us Here.

* David has at least one donation on it's way.

The Stiuaion:
Hello, I am hoping that you can help us. My name is Kelly, my husband Brian contracted Lyme almost 20 years ago but went undiagnosed for 17 years. he got very sick in 2009 and it took until 2012 to get a diagnosis but to get that we had to go to the US, we are from Canada. Brian is currently not only fighting Lyme he is also fighting Cancer, we are in great financial need. I am the only one able to work but the strain on our finances is great with battling both diseases. 

We have three amazing children who are all teenagers.  They are handling all of this unbelievably well. The only thing that they really want for Christmas is their Father to be here. There names are Judy (19), John (17), and Mary (13). 

I am attaching a link that a friend set up through GoFundMe. The link is in my name as it is a friend from work that set it up to help our family out. The link is https://www.gofundme.com/26d5cu8c
​

If I have not answered all of your questions please just email me back and let me know.
Sincerely,
Kelly Russell

The Situation:
I am embarrassed to ask but I am doing it anyways. I am not as flush as some may think- actually struggling like the rest of us all. I am wondering if anyone can help me get an ozone machine? Or knows of an affordable one. I heard it costs 3 grand. Thats kinda way outta my range these days. I had ozone once and it really hugely helped me, so I always wanted to save up to get a machine, but life happens and you don't have the money cause you need a root canal etc...just putting it out there, once again I feel extravagant for asking, so forgive me, if I sound that way. Thx all!! I really hope you all get what you too have asked for!! Olivia .

A Wish for my family to be functional & WELL!

My Mother, my sister, and I, have chronic Borreliosis (lyme) and multiple co-infections. We acquired our infections in different places (even different continents), at different times, and likely from different vectors.

I wish for my Mom-the love & glue of our family-to get her memory, energy, and 'self' back before it becomes too late. We now know that dementia, and specifically the threat of Alzheimer's, is very real.

For my mom to receive more in depth treatment, I have to finish mine. Financially this has taken a toll on my mother, but she is dedicated to seeing me through these tough times, even if this is what is needed (asking for help). 

The ultimate goal is remission. Then I can help her through treatment. If I maintain remission, hopefully I can get some of my independence back, possibly re-join the world of the working, and have some *life* back!

I also wish for my sister. She is unable to take many antibiotics, and really needs to see an LLMD who can work with alternatives, but has no money for this type of care. I have some Doctors in mind who I think she could work well with to get the infections under control, then meet her goals.

My family has been through medical mysteries/rare diseases, and disease very severe and traumatizing at critical ages. We had already been through hell and back prior to Lyme & co-infections, and we fight the best we can.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We have a GoFundMe campaign that has already helped pay for medical costs. We have a long way to go, but every bit counts!

The Situation:
Hi, I've been battling Lyme disease, CFS, FIbro, Major Depressive disorder, severe anxiety, agoraphobia, chemical sensitivity, chronic migraines for 19 years. I am a wife and Mom who just wants to be well. This disease has wrecked havoc on us financially. We are on food stamps and do not have anything extra after bills are paid. So it has made treatment near impossible for many years. I've been doing Bee Venom Therapy this year for 7 months now and have not had the miraculous results some others have had. I have never been able to afford an LLMD, so I've had to do all my own studying and reading and trying my best to treat this complex illness.

I need $$ for supplements. I would like to try the Cowden protocol. But even with the financial scholarship I would qualify for, making it $100 a month for this year. I do not have that much $ to be able to do that. 
If anyone could donate any amount of $$ or gift cards to help me be able to get the cowden protocol and some other needed supplements and homeopathics for pain , depression and digestion and sleep, that would be so very helpful. I feel bad for anyone dealing with this heart wrenching disease. I pray for a cure one day. Until then, pray for the strength to keep making it one day at a time. 

Wishes:
Cowden Protocol supplements and cash donations.

Thank you for any and all gifts and prayers,
Much gratitude and thanks,
Carrie

Hi ive had Lyme Disease for several years. It has caused me to become chemical sensitive. I developed MCS
and am having a really hard time day to day with this issue. I would love to get an air freshener that helped
clear the chemicals in the air but cannot afford one. I would appreciate any help towards getting one.
They have one that looks good at Sears which is near me and I could go pick it up.
​So any Sears Gift Certificates would be appreciated.

I have been fighting what I now know as multiple systemic infectious disease syndrome for 22 years.  I was bit by a tick 22 years ago and that started the battle of my life. I was too sick to attend any school functions for my daughters when they were in school and all their sports races. I basically missed them growing up. That hurts my heart so much to this day.

I have not been able to work since Feb 2014, after a year of being ill. It was 6 mos, after a tick bite, before I was diagnosed with RMSF. 10 days of doxycycline did not do the trick! But that was all the doctors would give me. I tested negative for Lyme and wasn't tested for any other co-infections.

After months and months of research, reading, and talking with others I decided I had to treat myself. What treatment could I employ with zero income? Enter Bee Venom Therapy! Yes, I sting myself with live bees 3 times a week. It is the absolute best pain reliever and brain fog lifter that I've ever experienced! It is extremely economical at about $50-$100 per month, including some supplements too.

If I have bees delivered every two weeks, bees cost me $36/month. If delivered weekly it costs $56/month. The problem I'm having and why i am asking for your help, is that I have no income and depend on my sweet son to provide the finances to purchase my bees. Sadly, his income is not enough to cover the household bills and my treatment needs. If you can spare a few dollars and your heart moves you both myself and my son would be so very grateful! I've had to stop therapy a few times before because of financial issues and each time I have to start over, its much harder on me.

I have a GoFundMe page if you would like to contribute that way.

He is like an infant to a four year old.  No speech. He also has mild cerebral palsy. But when he is not in pain from the dystonic spasms he is happy. We need to have an MRI done on his legs. Donations for that would be appreciated. We both spend days inside and are in need of pajamies.  Please note the amnt of money you see posted on my gofundme has been spent on medicine and drs. Etc.
