Check with local churches. They may be willing to write a check directly to the doctor to cover his charges.
You will need to educate the church on the need to see this particular doctor and the high cost of the first appt. when lyme disease is involved.
Contact a church that is known for doing things for the community.
By explaining lyme disease to my church, they have been willing to help a few people with that first appointment fee.
Also, once she sees the doc, she needs to tell him to only prescribe meds that she can afford. I had a friend who did it that way and the doc was willing to prescribe meds with cost in mind.
