Please chip in for my beautiful friend Fran! Fight Lyme Disease!

My fabulously fantastic friend Fran has been diagnosed with late stage Lyme Disease.
She has no health insurance.
She's been fighting this for years now.
Finding treatment has been a nightmare. She was misdiagnosed. She's gotten much, much worse instead of better.
Millions of people are without health insurance in this country, and they're screwed- not only is it difficult to find any decent health care at all; if and when you do, you're treated abominably.
I lived without health insurance for over ten years of my adult life and was fortunate enough not to suffer worse than some very bad 'flu and strep throat. The Lyon-Martin clinic helped me out. I was lucky my needs weren't more severe.
Not everybody is so lucky.
Fran needs $5000 to get the treatment that will enable her to live. And I mean that literally: her very life is at stake. Loved ones recently busted ass to throw a fantastic benefit for her, and we're still short.
Even a couple dollars will make a difference!
