When someone asks me where the idea for the New Hope Healing and Resource Center came from, I can’t help but smile to myself. I guess that’s because it’s kind of a long story. You see, it wasn’t an idea that was born in a second.
It was born after years of struggling with Lyme disease myself.
It was born after years of talking with people in an effort to try to help them with their battle against Lyme, and not really having any resources to offer them in their struggle. If I’m being honest, it came after much frustration and heartache. I would see Lyme patients, most of whom had become my friends, trying so hard to get well again. They were willing to do pretty much anything, and they were already doing pretty much everything in their power.
In general, the medical world had let them down. The CDC had let them down. They were struggling with difficult treatments that took their toll both physically and mentally. They were struggling to stay active in their lives and attempting to follow seemingly impossible diets in an effort to control symptoms with lifestyle changes. Then, perhaps the worst struggle of all, many were often being ignored or deeply misunderstood by those they were closest to. They simply couldn’t understand or fully comprehend what was happening to them.
As you know, Lyme doesn’t really care who you are. It doesn’t care if you’re old, young, male, or female. It doesn’t care if you’re healthy, strong, busy, lazy, or in love.
The people I knew who were fighting this battle came from all walks of life, and their numbers were, and are rapidly multiplying. I would hang up the phone or leave a support group meeting feeling like I had done everything I could that day, but still feeling like I had fallen so very short.
The idea of New Hope Healing and Resource Center came from that feeling-the feeling of knowing that we, in the Lyme community, could do better! I started thinking to myself,
“Why can’t we have a place that addresses all of these issues for patients and follows them through their treatment?”
“Why can’t we provide Lyme educated practitioners, nutritionists, mental health specialists, personal trainers, Lyme coaches and advisors?”
“Why can’t we help children and teenagers?”
“Why can’t we educate and provide support for the patients children, parents, or spouses?”
“Why can’t we treat people in every aspect of their lives that this disease affects, leaving no person left alone to fight this fight?”
Why didn’t we have that?
What started as a seemingly impossible wish quickly became a relentless dream that would not leave me. After much hard work and the help of many, it turns out, that dream has become a reality. New Hope Healing and Resource Center has a foundation of both hope and determination, that tomorrow will be a new and better place for Lyme patients.
