Help Angela Beat Lyme Disease
Donation protected
My cousins, Brett and Angela Otwell, live right across the street from me with their two young children, Carter and Chloe. Angela has been struggling with Lyme disease for over a decade. And she's spent years struggling to get diagnosed, but finally did in March 2013.
For the past couple of years, she has been doing standard antibiotic treatments. However, these treatments haven’t been successful and have contributed to her current state of decline. As her condition worsens, taking care of her children has become next to impossible nevermind fighting against this deadly disease.
To complicate matters, health insurance companies don’t pay LLMDs (Lyme Literate Medical Doctors). This means they have had to try to pay everything out of pocket, which makes the failure of these expensive treatments all the more disappointing and discouraging.
Brett and Angela, as well as family and friends have been desperately praying and searching for something that could save Angela’s life. We think we may have found an answer in Hansa Center in Wichita, Kansas.
Hansa is an inpatient treatment center that specializes in chronic illness by helping the body return to God’s natural healing design. They have experienced some incredible international success in dealing with severe and end-stage Lyme cases. We are asking and praying that we could send Angela there in July and that a solution could be found!
The cost of 6 months of treatment is roughly $30,000 dollars. We are asking and praying for big things and want to raise all of it. So, please send your donation. Every penny you give will go towards getting Angela the treatment she needs, and getting her children and husband the mother and wife they need. Please be an answer to many prayers.
Please Pray
Brett and Angela firmly believe that all the money and doctors in the world can’t heal. They are asking for your prayers.
Here are some specific things that you can pray for:
1. Healing and comfort from a host of cardiac symptoms:a racing heart (tachycardia), pulmonary hypertension, fluid built up around her heart and lungs (pericardial effusionpulmonary edema), and bouts of extreme chest pain.
2. Some neuro-symptoms include a loss of motor and speech skills, short term memory loss, and swelling in the brain (encephalitis) which leads to extreme confusion and even seizures.
3. She has had trouble keeping food down, and is currently about 30 lbs. underweight. Please pray that she could eat well and gain some weight back.
4. She has cracked 4 ribs from coughing in the last 5 months alone.
5. That she could have more strength to care for her kids.
6. That the doctors would be able to find a solution.
7. For renewed hope, and encouraged hearts.
A note from Angela:
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! To everyone - this is my/our last hope. It'll continue to be a long road, but we're so thankful for your overwhelming support. Please continue to keep my family in your prayers as we battle this disease.May God bless you all richly!"
Much love,
Angela Otwell
