Hi, my name is Karen and I am posting on behalf of my sister Trisha.

Trisha is a self employed 29 year old mother of 3 boys.

A 22 month old and 8 month old twins.

Trisha has been diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease.

Her illness is so debilitating she is housebound and has full time care in the home as most days is unable to walk without aids as she is suffering from severe joint and muscle pain as well as the many other debilitating issues that come with this disease.

Due to the severity of this illness Trisha has been forced to close her business and unfortunately is unable to get treatment in Ireland and therefore will have to travel to Germany for a month.

As you can imagine it’s absolutely horrific to pull a mother away from her babies.

We are hoping to raise €50,000 to cover her treatment cost.

Any donations to help Trisha and her young family will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
