Hi, I’m Gene, and I’m fighting to reclaim my life from chronic Lyme disease. This relentless illness has stolen my energy, independence, and joy, leaving me physically and financially drained. After years of struggle, including homelessness, I’m on the verge of a new chapter: a studio apartment where I can find stability, focus on my health, and grow closer to God. But I need your help to get there.

Advanced testing and proven treatments for Lyme disease—critical steps to understand and fight this disease—are beyond my reach. Insurance doesn’t cover these costs, and as someone on disability, I face constant financial strain. Your support will fund essential tests ($5,000), effective treatments ($10,000), and basic living expenses ($5,000) to help me stabilize while I heal.

My dear friend shares what Lyme disease has taken from me: “Gene was once a vibrant, passionate drummer, full of energy and heart. We worked together conserving California’s natural resources, inspiring youth, and bonding over music and resilience. Today, Lyme disease has dimmed his spark, bringing debilitating pain, fatigue, and mental fog. Yet, his spirit remains unbroken. With proper treatment, Gene can reclaim his health and passions. Please help this kind, talented soul find hope and healing.

With your generosity, I can afford the medical care I need and build a stable life in my new home. Every dollar brings me closer to health, independence, and renewed purpose. My faith keeps me hopeful, trusting that with God’s grace and your support, I can rise above this challenge. Thank you for giving me a chance to live fully again.
