Support

No one should have to navigate these diseases alone. We will try to connect patients and caregivers with support groups, mental health resources, and treatment information. Whether newly diagnosed or living with chronic symptoms, we’re here to walk alongside you.

Being sick (especially with something people don’t fully understand) can feel really lonely. That’s why one of our biggest goals is to create a place where kids, teens, and families affected by tick-borne illnesses can feel safe, seen, and supported.

We hope to build online support groups where people can share stories, advice, and just be there for each other. I’d love to have a space where teens can talk honestly about what it’s like living with chronic illness without being judged or misunderstood.

In the future, we also want to partner with therapists and doctors who get what it’s like to live with these diseases, so we can share good mental health resources and treatment options. Support also means speaking up for better care, and we hope to advocate for fairer access to testing, treatment, and accommodations at school.

It won’t all happen overnight, but step by step, we want to build a community that listens, lifts each other up, and never gives up hope.
