Help Finch Fight Chronic Lyme Disease
Donation protected
Finch is a 65 year old amazingly talented and loving human being. She lives in Shrewsbury PA, and is a member of a loving community of friends near and far.
Finch is an artist of many genres beyond the work of the ordinary imagination. Her work has been featured in exhibits in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
It is likely that Finch was infected with Lyme doing what she loves best-exploring trails near and far. Finch was diagnosed with Lyme disease in May of 2018, after numerous false negatives. By this time Finch’s body was infected with Bartonella, Babiosa, which has led to arthritis, bone loss, cognitive difficulties, and depression.
Upon requesting her medical records last week, Finch was horrified to see not one, but two positive Lyme test results on her record, both of which she was never notified of!!! She could have been treated years ago!!
Late stage, chronic, Lyme disease treatment is extremely costly, and not covered by insurance. Since Finch hasn't been able to work she depends, solely on her Social Security to cover her living expenses. Unfortunately the cost of her treatment is high and she has had to choose between meeting her monthly expenses, utilities, rent, car ins, etc or getting the medical care she needs.
Late stage, chronic, Lyme disease treatment is extremely costly, and not covered by insurance.
Finch has tried to be positive, however, the financial strain placed upon her, feeling so ill for days and weeks at a time, has left her feeling, at times, hopeless. It is after much nagging on my part that Finch has acknowledged that she needs help.
Here is an informative article, “10 Things to Know When Someone in Your Life has Lyme Disease”; https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/10-things-know-when-someone-your-life-has-lyme-disease-annie-dance
Any contributions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
