Claire D is 22 years old and suffers from Chronic Lyme Disease. Even though she has been sick her entire life, it wasn't until she was 18 that she was finally diagnosed. Here is an excerpt from her letter, addressed to a Lymie in need of support:

"The truth is that Lyme disease is one of the most difficult adversities that a human being could experience. Lyme is commonly all encompassing, meaning that it will impact every ounce of your life. And at some point, you’ll find that you’ve been changed forever and that there is no going back to the person you were before. The day will come that you’ll glance at yourself in the mirror and you won’t recognize yourself. That first day of sudden realization will be met with tears and grief, but with time will be transformed to acceptance, gratitude, and hope."

💚 This Giving Tuesday, we’re standing with the children and families affected by Lyme disease.

Lyme doesn’t just impact adults — it affects kids at some of the most important stages of their lives. Children are among the most frequently diagnosed, and for many families, the journey is filled with uncertainty: missed school days, misunderstood symptoms, emotional stress, and the struggle to find knowledgeable medical care.

At LymeDisease.org, we hear these stories every day. We see the parents fighting tirelessly for answers. We see the kids who want nothing more than to feel healthy enough to go to school, play sports, hang out with friends, and simply be kids again.

💚 Your Giving Tuesday support helps us protect and uplift these children by:

✅Advancing research to better understand pediatric Lyme and long-term outcomes
Providing families with trusted information they can rely on during diagnosis and treatment
✅Advocating for policies that recognize the reality of pediatric Lyme and ensure kids get the care they need
✅Raising awareness so teachers, doctors, and communities can spot the signs early and respond with compassion

Behind every statistic is a child who deserves to thrive — and a family that deserves to be heard and supported.💚

✨ This Giving Tuesday, join us in fighting for the youngest members of the Lyme community.

Together, we can build a future where no child’s health, education, or childhood is disrupted by this complex and often misunderstood disease.
