Since 1987, we have reached over 125 million people internationally with updated, accurate, state of the art information regarding Lyme disease and other tick borne illnesses, including Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis, which are becoming "rampant" in the Lyme community.
We have accomplished this via the radio, newspapers, various newsletter, our own cable T.V. program, email, lectures, seminars etc. This together with published articles in various magazines and the support group has assisted many. No one has ever called or sent a request for help, literature and not received the information requested. I have "personally" replied to them without exception. All of this has great financial costs. The printing, returned phone calls, faxes, postage etc. has overwhelmed us!
No one has ever taken a salary. Guests on the show have been provided food and shelter in our home as well as Lyme patients. I can no longer financially afford to continue with this out-reach as I am $80,000. in debt, out of pocket expenses used to keep this "Federally Tax Exempt Foundation" up and running! One hundred percent of all donations go directly back into the work set before us.
Some have said "Compromise"! That is; apply for Federal and State grant monies rather than "private donations"! I can't do that. Why? Because if I choose this route I will be forced to send information that I believe is not accurate. I could not, in good conscience, do such a thing!
This is a "LAST DITCH EFFORT" to keep this organization running future tense. If you have been assisted, NOW is the time to assist us. No donation is too small. Send any donation you can afford to:
