My sister is very sick

Normally I wouldn't do this, and hope it's not inappropriate. My sister has Lyme disease and has taken a turn for the worse. She has lost around 80lbs to date and can barely walk now or function as a normal human being. She has had Lyme for around 10 years now and all the doctors say is "sorry about your luck". There are no good treatments of Lyme disease and the bastard insurance companies refuse to insure her because she has a pre-existing condition. So she's left to do what? Die because our country's medical system is so fucked that they don't care about people anymore? It's a shitty situation. On top of that we aren't on talking terms (for reasons really not understood by myself). I hurt her feelings at one point and now she won't talk to me. She won't talk to my parents or other siblings either, but I believe it's part of the disease. I've read about how it can affect your mind and cause you to basically go insane. She's in constant pain and it tear me apart. I love her and want her to get better.

So the point of this is: Her husband started a medical fund raiser for her on a website called Youcaring.com

I am asking for anyone who can to search their hearts and make a donation. The amount doesn't matter. If it's a dollar, that's better than nothing. I'm doing what I can as well and donating as much as I can. I am half way tempted to sell all my gear because it's a chance to save my sisters life.

Anyway, I just wanted to share and see if anyone could help. I've always shared this on Facebook and am trying to get as many of my family members as possible to donate as well.

Thanks all. I love you guys!

Donated and Mojo sent.

Such a bad situation. My wife and I both love the outdoors and it's crazy to think that such a tiny thing can have such enormous consequences.

Ugh, I hate ticks. Used to get em all the time in the NE Atlantic area. So glad I (and the dog for that matter) never caught Lyme's. Best of luck to all of you. <3

Sent what I could.

My sister had lyme disease for probably like 6-8 years untreated, we're not sure when she got it. She has had seizures for years, depression and just a whole host of behavioral problems, and she is still seeing the effects from it half a decade later. I totally empathize with you man.

Also sent something.
Man, I'm not fond of the health system in The Netherlands but your health system sucks so badly, it's beyond words, I'm sorry for that.
My sincere best whishes for your sister, you and your family.

Also id like to add that normally id make a tasteless joke about how "IM ALWAYS READY TO HELP OUT WITH SOMEONES SISTER" AND "IVE GOT THE MAGIC MEDICINE SHE NEEDS" but it would just be stupid. Having recently lost my own brother i got mad feels for you bro and i know if there were anything i could have done to help him i would have. Lets hope she gets better so i can hit on her someday.
