Hi all,

I am a recovering lymie in westchester county ny. I was thinking that it would be really nice to be able to help children with lyme disease in my area. I am a recreation therapist and would love to be able to bring some enjoyment or fun into the lives of a child who is homebound by lyme disease. I'm looking to help and bring hope on a volunteer basis. If anyone has any ideas how i can get my name out there to volunteer or if anyone has a child with lyme in the Westchester or southern CT area and would like my help please let me know.
Thanks so much
Sincerely,
Dawn Simonsen

Go to SUPPORT GROUPS found in left-hand column, by country, then by state! Check 1st page to see where the various groups are located for your state. CLICK on link closest to you.

Read carefully if support group leader wants you to call them or EMAIL! Many are very sick themselves; so be patient in getting a response from them. Thanks!

SUPPORT GROUPS .... LYME FOR ``YOUR'' STATE! See below!! 8-19-07

You might be interested in joining your online state yahoo group. All are set up the same way with the state name and lyme run together as one word, http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/STATENAMELYME, e.g.
newyorklyme,

except for 4 states which have a hyphen between the statename and lyme, e.g. southcarolina-lyme. Those states are SC, WY, ND, SD.

The groups were set up by Phyllis Mervine of CALDA, Calif. LDA, to help create an infrastructure for the Lyme community for patient support, local resources, and political action. thx Phyllis!
