Hi, my name is Shannon, and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my brother, Chris.

For the past year, I’ve watched my brother fight an incredibly difficult battle with Lyme disease. It’s been heartbreaking to see someone I love so much go through so much pain — physically, emotionally, and financially.

Chris has always been a strong, hardworking person, but this illness has truly knocked him off his feet. He’s undergone extensive testing, multiple rounds of antibiotics, and even a lumbar puncture to rule out neurological complications. Despite all of that, he’s still suffering from crippling headaches, constant muscle spasms, intense neck and eye pain, and overwhelming fatigue.

He’s missed over three months of work due to the severity of his symptoms, and the financial strain is becoming impossible to manage. Between lost wages and mounting medical bills, he’s struggling — and that’s why I’m reaching out for help.

Your donation would go directly toward:

    •    Medical bills and treatments not fully covered by insurance

    •    Basic living expenses while he’s unable to work

    •    Access to additional therapies or specialists who may be able to help him finally start to heal

Chris is doing everything he can to get better, but this journey is long, expensive, and exhausting. If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, our family would be forever grateful. Even just sharing this page can make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for reading and for supporting my brother during one of the hardest times in his life. Your kindness means more than you know.

With love and gratitude,

Shannon
