Help Elle Fight Lyme Disease
Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
My name is Pranav and this is my friend Elle whom I study with, as many of you know, she's been suffereing from an illness for 2 years that was recently diagnosed as Lyme Disease. The good news is that she FINALLY getting the treatment she needs. The bad news is, it's not cheap.
Elle has a specific strain of Lyme that is not recognised here by the Australian Government, even though she caught the strain IN Australia. Not only that the strain she has is recognised by the REST OF THE WORLD. Hence why we need your help.
She is also in alot of pain due to her treatment. She has had to be on an army of pain medications and antibiotics along with the drugs used to treat Lyme.
Many of us have pitched in and done what we can to help her in her time of need , because as many of us know, it's not cheap trying to live and study.
On top of study she now has to pay for medical bills and supplies which is costing her almost $2,000 a fornight!
So I've decided to help in my own way and help her with this fight for her health by starting this campaign in her name. All proceeds will go directly to Elle so as she can fund her treatment and get the supplies she needs. Her preliminary treatment will last 6 weeks and we hope to reach our goal in that time.
After this time a PICC line (a special type of tube that goes from her arm to her her heart) will be inserted which will be followed by 6 months of treatment. Possibly even meaning she'll have to drop out of her degree.
Help does not need to come in monetary form either. Elle's GREATEST NEEDS ARE IV equipment and supplies. If you work in a hospital and can get your hands on IV sets and bags (even if it's just 1 or 2) that would be TREMENDOUS help!
She also needs to be on 24hr seizure watch, the treament Elle is receiving has some devastating side effects! If you have day to spare and can accompany her to Sydney for a day whilst she gets her treatment, that would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly flyby or frequent flyers for fuel dockets or groceries. This girl needs to get places...well the hospital mostly and she also has to eat. Every little bit that you can spare counts
If you don't know how much to donate, $6.20 is a good start, as this is the amount for prescription medication.
I study radiography with Elle, in the past 2 years I've worked in various hospitals and clinics and have gained a newfound appreciation for the bravery of someone who is facing their own mortality. I also I know what it's like to face your own mortality, as I was in a near fatal car accident 3 years ago. It's a very scary thought and you learn to appreciate the life you have. My experiences have made me want to do what I can to help those in need.
Elle is an intelligent, caring and bubbly person with mountains of bravery. She somehow manages to put a smile on her face everyday and we all want to see her finish her degree and go on to become one hell of a radiographer!
Please help her with whatever you can spare, whether it's your time, money or supplies.
