Help Audrey recover from Lyme and a brain injury.

Donation protected
My daughter, Amy and I, would like to help our friend Audrey in her process of recovering from a traumatic  brain injury. Audrey has had dyslexia all her life and in the fourth grade she was at a first grade reading level. She worked very hard and then graduated high school as valedictorian in her class. Audrey entered college hoping to become a flight nurse. During her first year in college she was dropped on her head in a theater class and sustained a brain injury. Over the past 10 years her family has spent over $100,000 in medical expenses trying to help her regain use of her brain so she can get back to school. Audrey deals with daily pain, nausea, dizziness, extreme fatigue, cognitive issues, verbal impediments, and paralysis on the left side of her face.
During the 10 years she has been recovering, Audrey started a nonprofit for brain injury education and she has an internship with a nonprofit called OneHitAway. This is a nonprofit that helps athletes when they sustain a brain injury. When the Director of OneHitAway heard Audrey’s  story she had Audrey tested for Lyme disease.Audrey’s test came back positive for Lyme. She also tested positive for Babesia and Bartonella; these are heavy metal and mold poisoning. It is likely that the Lyme disease was able to travel through her blood to her brain as a result of her accident . Additionally, she has learned this week that she also has CIRS, mass cell activation disorder and very high levels of Epstein-Barr virus. Both of these affect the immune  system making recovery much more complex.
As a result of much research on her part, she has discovered Bee Venom Therapy. This seems to be a breakthrough treatment that the Lyme community has been waiting for. For Audrey to get into this therapy, she first needs to clear her body of the mold and metal poisoning. At this time she is going through a number of intense doctor prescribed cleanses. She has had to sell most of her belongings as they are all contaminated with the mold and mildew.  Audrey is in the process of searching for a mold and mildew free place to live. This is proving to be extremely difficult.
Audrey’s  medical expenses are about $1000 a month. She will also need to raise money for her Bee Therapy.
We would like to help give Audrey a hand up in her life. Get her life back on track. Get her back to school so she can realize her dream of being a flight nurse. If you would like to learn more about Bee venom Therapy you can read about it  online at,  the healhive.com
Thank you for reading her story and for any help that you may give her.♥️♥️
