Mrs. Grimes - Chronic Lyme Disease

Donation protected
Hello Everyone!
I am reaching out to all of our friends across the community. As some of you  may have heard, Mrs. (Dee Dee) Grimes has been batteling Chronic Lyme Disease for the past four years. Dee Dee is the wife of Mark Grimes and mother of Wendy, Audrey and Lyndsay Grimes.  

She has been to doctor after doctor to figure out what is wrong with her and all signs point to Chronic Lyme Disease.  She has had three posivite tests, which is what insurance companies require to cover the costs, and insurance is denying her coverage.  

The Grimes family has spent thousands of dollars on these treatments and they have more to come. 

She has reached a point where can no longer speak, eat or drink because of this disease. She needs to communicate with a board that she writes on.  

Mrs. Grimes has worked for Schalmont Central School District at Jefferson Elementary. Her family, friends and the children at Jefferson mean the absolute world to her.  

This is a great time for our community to get together and give back to a kind and giving woman.
