Help Kayla Get Medical Treatment For Lyme Disease

1 / 1
Hello everyone. To those of you who don’t already know my daughter, Kayla; she is 31 years of age and has been suffering with lyme disease for the past 7 years and is now in stage 3 lyme. She had just finished her red seal welder ticket when she first contracted lyme. Lyme disease affects every aspect of a person’s health from neurological, physiological to mental health. It can be quite debilitating. Kayla has been in and out of emergency and doctors’ offices on a regular basis; sometimes a daily occurrence. Many of her lyme symptoms include: weakness, numbness, extreme fatigue and vertigo, heart palpitations and chest tightness which feel similar to heart attack, irritable bowel syndrome and colon infections, immune deficiency causing various lesions, chronic viruses and flues, brain fog and crunches (brain constricting and expanding), trouble thinking/focusing, etc. It has been frightening at times. Despite everything that Kayla is forced to endure with this disease, this woman remains to keep a positive attitude and never asks for hand outs. She forces herself to get out of bed when she shouldn’t and when she ends up on the floor due to vertigo and fainting; she gets right back up and continues to push through – a true display of inspiration, strength and courage. We have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on Canadian treatments, including natural path that haven’t been successful. We lost all hope until we finally found a treatment program that has a high  success rate to cure lyme disease but it is $51,000 in Germany, plus her flight. I feel helpless as I, nor Kayla can afford this treatment and ask that you find it in your hearts to send Kayla to this amazing treatment so that she can get cured and live out a long healthy life and purse her work and other goals.
For those who are not familiar with lyme disease and what it is, the following is some information to explain the disease. It is a tickborne caused by borrelia burgdorferi. Early lyme can cause symptoms of fever, fatigue, headaches, arthralgias, myslgias, and erythema migrans rash. Untreated, it can also cause lesions, cranial neuropathy, lymphocytic menigitis, radiculoneuritis, atrioventricular block, and oligoarthritis. It’s a disease that affects the neurological pathways causing seizures and other neurological disorders, as well as compromises the immune system, causing the body to attack healthy cells, gradually making the person at risk of immune system failure and can shut down a person’s organs and eventually die. Thank you for your time and any help you can provide to this worthy cause.

My daughter is the beneficiary as it is for her treatment. It is easier to do less transactions. We set up a savings account specifically for this treatment and the fundraiser will remain open until we reach the goal or can afford the difference to send her to treatment. Thank you for your support we couldn't do this without you ❤️
