Help Jessica Overcome Lyme Disease

Hi Everyone,

I’m writing on behalf of my sister, Jessica—a compassionate, hardworking teacher who pours her heart and energy into her students every single day. Teaching isn’t just her job—it’s her calling, and one of the biggest motivators behind her desire to get better.

For months, Jessica has been quietly battling a growing list of persistent and painful symptoms: extreme fatigue, joint and muscle pain, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, memory issues, nerve pain, numbness, tingling, skin irritations, digestive and urinary challenges, and a worsening of her asthma. Despite all this, she continues to show up for her students with love and commitment. But behind the scenes, her health has been steadily declining, and she’s still facing the weight of it every day.

After many unanswered questions and countless appointments, Jessica’s primary care physician finally found the root cause: Lyme disease—a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks. When left untreated, Lyme can cause long-term damage to the nervous, digestive, respiratory, and immune systems. Sadly, Jessica is already experiencing the effects of that damage daily.

Her physician referred her to Dr. Ben Erlandson, a Lyme specialist in Wisconsin who has successfully helped thousands of patients recover through an intensive, integrative approach. You can learn more about his clinic here: www.erlandsonclinic.com. The treatment offers real hope—but it also comes with a price.

We’re hoping to raise funds to help cover:

- $4,000 for the full treatment program (including a $500 deposit)

- Travel to and from Wisconsin

- Lodging and accommodations

- Time off work during treatment

- Supportive therapies to help her body detox and recover, such as:

• Electro Lymphatic Therapy (ELT)

• IV nutrient therapy

• Sauna therapy

This journey has been incredibly humbling for Jessica. She is not one to ask for help—but we believe in the power of community, and in a God who walks with us through every trial. If you feel led to support her, here are a few ways you can help:

- Give financially—every gift, no matter the size, is a blessing

- Share this page with your community

- Pray for Jessica’s healing, strength, and peace

Thank you for walking alongside Jessica—your kindness, generosity, and prayers mean moroe than words can say.

“Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, acknowledging his name. And do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.”

— Hebrews 13:15–16

With love and gratitude,
