Chase's potentially Life Changing Lyme Treatment

Donation protected
Hello friends and family,
 
It's Chase. I need your help
 
As many of you know, I’ve been battling Lyme disease for 5 years now. I can’t remember a morning when I’ve woken up and felt okay since I was a freshman in high school. Unfortunately, the disease has continued worsening, now to the point now where I cannot continue college. Every day I deal with a variety of symptoms from crippling exhaustion, to worsening cognitive issues and visual impairments. I also have a weakened immune system. I was sick with non-lyme related sickness for a total of 13 weeks in 2021 and I had COVID twice. Being sick for so long has been hard mental health and seeing my mom slowly get her life taken before her eyes makes me fearful that it could soon be me. I cannot let this disease destroy my life. All I want is to be in a place where I can be productive in society and attempt to follow my dreams but right now I can barely muster up the energy to get out of bed and through the day. I have tried numerous treatments, even some outside of the country but to not avail, my health continues to decline.
 
After spending this year searching for a potential answer, I am confident in a facility in Arizona called Envita Medical, which is a specialty medical center for these types of diseases. A Doctor quoted that (90% of patients see at least 50% improvement of their symptoms).
 
Unfortunately, there is an issue within this world. Lyme disease has no insurance coverage. The entire Lyme community pays out of pocket for their medical care. It messed up that a disease that affects millions of people isn’t covered but that is just where the progression of the disease is right now.
 
The reason I am making this video is that my parents just went through a financially devastating divorce and I don’t know how we are going to be able to pay for this treatment, this potentially life-changing treatment.
 
It is gonna take $55,000 for integrative care including unique IV treatments and plasmapheresis (this puts my blood through a machine and cleans it), and other protocols.
 
I truly believe this could change my life. 
 
Any donation would mean the world to me and for anyone who donates I will be updating them via a weekly newsletter. I’ll be including videos and updates on everything.
 
I’d love for you to be a part of my journey. I love you all. Merry Christmas. Thank you.
