Help Me Fight My Chronic Illness: Lyme and MECFS

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Sydney. not many people know, but I have been extremely ill for the past 2 and a half years after catching covid twice. This left me with heart issues and myalgic encephalitis as well as bringing out Lyme disease and Chronic EBV and mold and metal toxicity in my body. These illnesses come with so many different symptoms and I am no longer able to leave my bed, spend time with my family, work or raise my 4 year old boy. A little over two years ago I found my triplet brother lifeless and got sick a couple months after. Things have just never been the same since. Life just seems to keep throwing everything at us. I had to put a pause on my career in becoming a neuroscientist as well, and my family just can’t seem to catch a break. I  am reaching out for help in hopes that I can get medical treatment done to be able to live and thrive again. Right now I am doing everything I can to just survive day by day. The medical treatment is very expensive and not covered by insurance. We will need funds to pay for the treatment, doctor’s visits and other medical expenses that are crucial in managing my conditions. As well as funds to support my family in the mean time while I am on my road to recovery. I will be getting treatment done at the Gordon Medical Institute https://gordonmedical.com/ in San Rafael, Ca. My first appointment is the 15th of next month. It is not covered by insurance, so it is extremely pricey. I appreciate every single one of you. If you can’t help, I would love all the prayers I can get for my family and for my healing. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and considering a donation. Your support means the world to me, and I am so grateful for any support you can provide. 

With love,
Sydney and Family ❤️
