SQUEEZE OUT LYME DISEASE!! #FERRANTE STRONG!

We are trying to help our baby sister raise funds to fight Lyme Disease.
Severe exhaustion, chronic joint pain, fevers, dizziness, brain fog, insomnia are just a few of the effects that LYME has on Janet. This debilitating disease is also very hard on her son Talon.
Lyme is an infectious disease commonly caused from a tick bite(others believe any blood sucking insect, may infect). The disease affects the brain, immune system, nervous system, heart, stomach, and the list goes on...It can also bring along with it tick borne Co-Infections and if left untreated it can be DEADLY!!
We had a previous campaign that raised just over $6000, and want to thank all that donated.  That money raised helped with the medical costs for her doctors appointments, prescriptions and antibiotics. The expenses keep adding up and it is depleting Janet. She continues to work 2 jobs, and is a single mother raising and supporting her son, Talon. She still does not have medical coverage or sick leave benefits, so NOTHING is covered.
She is currently on a multitude of antibiotics and natural supplements. The side effects that these have on her body are debilitating to say the least. If she isn't dry heaving daily, then she is fighting the extreme pain and exhaustion to keep going. She may not always look sick, but she always feels it. She puts on a strong front for sure! He son struggles to understand why she has to cancel plans, or put things off. He has always seen her as supermom! He has never seen his mom so weak. She just wants to feel normal again. We want her to get her life back, her smile back, her laughter back! She wants to run again, enjoy her time with her son and her family.
She is researching more radical treatments in other countries because unfortunately, Ontario does not do them or really recognize Lyme at all. Many others have had success with treatment in other countries. This is quite an expensive road to take and that is why people refer to LYME as the "rich mans disease". She is saving all she can, as she would be required to stay for some time and she would still have to care for her son here and continue to pay for her home and bills.
Please find the kindness in your heart to donate any little bit you can. Please share her campaign and help her GIVE LYME THE SQUEEZE!!!
Stay STRONG lil sis, we love you.
Thank you, Michelle and Jennifer.
