We have reached a place with Robbie’s illness (Chronic Neuro Lyme Disease of 7 years) where he currently requires upwards of 16 different medications to even get out of bed in the morning, and try to live a version of his life we never imagined would be the case at 38 years old. I work full time and then some and my income plus Robbie’s disability payments simply don’t cover everything he needs to survive, let alone thrive in any way. Our families are either unable or unwilling to help, or would rather travel the world or buy an additional house or a tesla or whatever the fuck, than simply inquire into the ongoing nature of what is going on with us and what we might need. So we are yet again in the position of having to ask friends for help. This sucks for us, because we know all of ya’ll are working your asses off and probably struggling too, but we are at a loss of what else to do. It doesn’t have to be much, a little goes a long way. To give you an idea, it is $60/month on average for one month of just one of these medications, most of which have to be compounded at special pharmacies to accommodate all of Robbie’s severe allergies, and insurance pays for none of these. For those of you who are unfamiliar with chronic lyme disease or who have been told it isn’t real, please watch this incredible documentary called The Quiet Epidemic. Here is the link to the trailer and streaming options are linked underneath the video.

Thanks for giving this a read.

Peace and Love.

Robbie and Rachel
