My son's medical fund, Lyme Disease
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Charlie Shew and my son Casey Shew has been battling chronic Lyme disease for over a year now and we need some financial help for his ongoing treatment.
Casey has done massive hours of research and has seen several practitioners in various disciplines and has tried countless potions and supplements to try and alleviate his symptoms.
He is still struggling with migrating joint pain and other neuropathic symptoms that at times become too severe to carry out day to day activities or sometimes even sleep. He has stayed committed to working full time to pay for the majority of his treatment, but is finding it very difficult to balance healing with working enough to pay for the steep costs associated with treating the disease. He is currently uninsured.
He aims to surmount the illness so that he can pursue his passions with education and apprenticeship in both ancient and emerging healing modalities, for both individual (preventative medicine, herbalism, nutrition, biohacking) and the collective (permaculture, educational modalities). His own health is the first obstacle to overcome towards this, and any assistance you provide here will contribute towards these goals.
Casey has lined up new medical practitioners that come highly recommended but are (of course) not cheap. I have only set a goal of $2,000 to make it not seem like an insurmountable goal to reach.
It is very difficult for Casey and myself to ask for monetary help in this way but in the current economic landscape, neither of us is able to take on these medical costs by ourselves.
We thank you all in advance for whatever you can contribute to this cause.
Thank you so much for your help!
