Hello and good day. 

I will try to keep this short and to the point.  

I am a 43 man, who not so long ago, was a very healthy and active, classically trained chef, that enjoyed outdoor, mountain/lake activities,  writing and creating. In 2019, I relocated from Portland, Oregon,  to Chattanooga Tennessee,  to be closer to my last, remaining family.  Not long after, I built a tiny home, in the forest and decided to slow down and recalibrate. Take a soulside journey,  if you will. I wanted to live a simpler,  more quiet life, as the life of a culinary an, isn't. Then it happened.  I was bitten by a tick, on my ribcage/back... Being from the west, I wasn't familiar with Lyme disease and after removing the tick, thought nothing of it. Well.... until a few days later, when I woke up and could barely move. I thought that maybe, I slept wrong and it would ease as the day passed, but it didn't. Gradually, things got much worse, bringing me inflammation and stiffness, that made the days very difficult. Being stubborn, I just pushed on through the discomfort and kept going, getting a job, learning new skills, just trying to exist. Most days now, I can barely take care of my four cats, let alone get up and go to work hard labor. About three months ago, I finally learned what was causing all my pains, memory loss and misery. "Late Stage Lyme Disease" A life changing event, from something as small, as a tick. It's an eye opener, really, but it's one, that has left me unable to work and make money, to survive, so I'm here, without pride, or ego. Just hope, for help and healing. I have to once again, start all over again, do to the mold issues, in the forest, I live in and the lack of proper ventilation, as mold, is a deadly trigger, for Lyme. Where I came to simplify my life,  things became so much more complicated and now, I really need help. So if you feel compelled to give; I thank you, with a gratitude, that the heavens, can see. My cats do too 🙏 

We have no money left. Literally nothing. I'm not sure, what else to do. Just thank you, to you 💚
