One of the saddest part about Lyme Disease, is how hard it is to stay afloat financially. This disease not only takes away your ability to function but you lose your friends, your family and your ability to work. Everyday we get asked if there are any foundations that help or if we have any tips on fundraising, or where people should have benefits. We will try to compile some tips here for you. This page will be ever growing so keep checking back for more help. I wish you luck!
Here are a couple of ideas that may help you if you should need to put together a fundraiser. If you have any other ideas or good suggestions on raising money that has worked please post in the comments below.

I make colorful and nature inspired jewelry. I sell it on etsy and occasionally in local shops and craft fairs. I have to hire help on occasion, because I can’t do it all alone, but it helps to bring in a little extra cash each month.
I would really appreciate your help with likes, follows, comments and shares.
