I have never done this before, nor have I ever even met Dr J. However this really spoke to me and feel it's imperative to bring to everyone's attention.
As most of you probably know, Dr J, who is considered by many to be one of the top pediatric LLMDs presently here in the country, has been in the throes of a very messy and equally expensive legal battle with the state of CT, etc. for a number of years now basically over his treating children for Lyme Disease.
This man deserves our help. His willingness and dedication alone, as well as the many little lives he has saved is worthy of some gesture of thanks from the community, given that he has made our plight his plight, too. And at a very, very high cost, too.
For anyone interested and willing to make a donation, there is information at the bottom of the page indicating exactly how to do that..
Here is a link to his site that gives the synopsis and recent update to things. All can be found on the left tab for "financial assistance"
Hoping all of you who read this find it in your heart to make a contribution, if possible. And let other's know, too.
Thank you Robbie

Bless your heart!
Yes, we do need to remember Dr. J and the daily battle he is faced with just to be able to treat the children with Lyme. Thank you Robbie for pointing this out to all!
I do want to note that the page to visit to learn about his struggles (nice write up by Kris Kraft) and make a donation can be found in the section "Legal Battle".
I did send money since I thought "This can't happen in America today."
and I am one who can help to speak up and make a difference by sending a check
make my opinion known to the world - it is one way to empower that which is good and true
