Ruby Red Lyme Disease Trust - get Ruby to the USA
We need to get Ruby back to the USA to be reviewed by her specialist.
Wellington
Ruby is required to be seen by her specialist every 3 years.
3 years ago we fundraised a lot of money as a small group and got Ruby to the USA.
We are continuing to fundraise but as Ruby's ongoing medical costs are between $1500 and $2000 per month, we need your help to cover her trip to the USA plus ongoing medical costs.
Every small amount given provides us with a greater opportunity to cure Ruby of this awful disease.

About us
Ruby was a 7 year old girl who went to Australia on a family holiday. She was bitten by a tick whilst patting a kangaroo. She has been diagnosed as having Lyme Disease, along with 2 awful co-infections.
Ruby is now 13 and requires ongoing medications at a cost of $1500 per month, plus ongoing ICU admissions due to seizures. Ruby is not able to lead a full and active life, and her and her family fight this ongoing battle everyday.
Ruby requires a Doctor who understand tick borne illnesses and treatment, and therefore needs to travel to the USA to get this technical expertise.
Ruby's Lyme Disease Specialist is based in the USA. Help us get Ruby back to the USA to see her Doctor.
Over the last 12 months, Ruby has had 8 ICU admissions, with many many seizures in between. Help us to help Ruby get the help she needs.
