Help Ben Beat LYME Disease!

Donation protected

Hi,
My name is Ben Kosiek and I’m 20 years old...some of you may know me , some may not. If you do know me than you probably know my story. I have been suffering with LYME disease for the past 10 years of my life. It has slowly robbed me of my mobility and now its started to affect my brain and vision. There is so much I could write about this disease that it could  be a novel.  
In short I’m in constant physical pain...every joint in my body hurts and is inflamed and swollen. It  has deteriorated my joints to the point that my right elbow is fused solid my left is not far behind , both my knees swell to the size of softballs and are slowly creating a valgus in both areas. Both my ankles are swelling and fusing solid . My neck is stiffening with lack of mobility left or right. Now it is starting to effect my brain...I have memory loss and severe brain fog at times. It is also affecting my vision.
There are so many of us suffering from this disease in this great country of ours with no real help. Because of the lack of attention this horrific disease gets here in the States, myself and many others are left with no choice but to seek alternative help in other countries. 
I have been to India to combat this disease...spent 3 months in New Delhi.
The treatment I received there helped me greatly however the treatment is not available any longer and was not extensive enough. 

We have found a specialist in Mexico that we believe can help with this battle.
LymeMexico is the name of the clinic. They specialize in this disease with many cutting edge treatments that I believe can help me heal.

This has been the greatest challenge for myself and my family that we have ever had to face.
Physically , emotionally, mentally and financially.
In life, one of the hardest thing to do is asked for help...especially for me.
I don’t want to burden anyone with what I’m going through , however I don’t have a choice we need help. Insurance will not cover these treatments and my family and are financial drained. 
Please if you could help in any way we would greatly appreciate it.
In advance Thank You! for taking the time to read this and helping me and my family on this journey to find healing!
Many blessings,
Ben
