Description
Dear friends,
My name is Olivia, and I am a single mum to a lovely little boy. Since 2021, I have been suffering from Lyme disease, which has radically changed my life. Because of this debilitating illness, I have been unable to work for a long time, and my financial situation has consequently become very difficult.
The symptoms of Lyme disease are particularly severe for me. I have suffered from facial paralysis, severe fatigue, concentration problems and persistent headaches. With these symptoms, it was impossible to get through a normal day, let alone look after my little son and myself in the way I would like to. My facial nerves have recovered by 75%, but unfortunately the severe fatigue, headaches and concentration problems are still very much present. I hope to be able to undergo the necessary tests to improve my symptoms by at least half.
Through this crowdfunding campaign, I hope to receive the necessary support to continue meeting our basic needs. Every contribution, no matter how small, means the world to us. It will help us get through this difficult time and fight for a better future.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank everyone who makes a contribution or shares this story. Your support gives us hope and strength.
With love,
Olivia
