When I tried to donate to LymeNet and clicked on "Make a donation" I got a notice from PayPal that donations could not be made through them.
Further exploration came up with the fact that LymeNet is short of funds.
Jenifer of LymeNet has not been responding. Anyone. know why? Hope she is okay.
One possibility would be a Go Fund Me drive for them. What do you think? Any other ideas of raising funds for LymeNet?

Maybe try Jenifer again.
She responded the other day to reported post so she is still involved.
I think GoFundMe is a super idea.

Anybody have a good idea as to how we can help keep LymeNet going strong?

Thanks for initiating the discussion. We'd like to reach Jenifer about this.

Please do. Thanks, Robin

Sure would this best, longest-lasting incredible site when some fundraising might save it.

Why are we questioning the future of lymenet? Has something been said/posted about shutting it down?

To my knowledge, efforts to reach anyone about the status and/or lending support have gone unanswered to this point, unfortunately.

I miss the days where this was the #1 resource for Lyme on the web. When I was first diagnosed in 2010 this place was such a tremendous resource and amazing, supportive community.
Seems folks are all over reddit, facebook, etc now. And very low traffic here.
I think I hear crickets if I listen closely enough.
