Thank you for visiting my website and taking the time to read my story in short and why I am raising money.

My name is Don, 38 years, and I am born and raised in The Netherlands. For over 14 years I’ve been battling a very persistent form of neurological Lyme disease which has prevented me from living a normal life. Due to heavy migraines and other neurological disorders, having and maintaining a social life has been very limited these years. And for many years in the past I wasn't even able to work. Not to mention the other aspects of life, where I couldn’t develop myself as I had hoped and desired for. 

I did everything in my power to overcome Lyme and getting my health back on track which has costed me all my savings. Thankfully by doing so I was able to save my life and able to work again. Unfortunately, the core of my symptoms never went away which, after so many years, still results in not being able to live to my full potential being hindered continuously by Lyme. 

Unfortunately, Lyme is still a very poor recognized and accepted disease in my country. Next to that it’ requires complex treatment and that’s why you need a Lyme literate doctor who understands this matter from it’s foundation. Recently, I found a Lyme literate doctor in New York who’s able and wanting to treat me which I am very thankful for. 

In order to make this long time cherished dream possible, I hope to raise €20.000 Euro's. Depending on where you live, this might sound as a lot of money to you. However, the costs for health treatments in the United States are extremely expensive and will in my case not be covered by my health insurance. To put things in perspective, my first consultation costs 1800 US Dollars and there it just starts. The money I raise will therefore be used for consultations, (IV-)treatments, bloodwork, medications, travel expenses and other health related expenses. 

Your donation means the world to me and will make a huge difference in my life’s perspective by becoming healthy again. Therefore I will do everything possible to achieve this! 

Thank you so much for your contribution to my health! If you are unable to donate, I would also be very grateful if you could share my website.
