Chelsey's Hope for Lyme in Arizona

Chelsey has been struggling with Lyme disease that has been officially diagnosed for the past 4 years, and it has progressed to late-stage Lyme, with neurological symptoms and loss of feeling in her extremities. She also is experiencing heart issues, vision loss and arthritic joint pain due to the Lyme. Despite seeing multiple specialists, she hasn't seen any improvement. Envita Medical Centers in Scottsdale, AZ, specializes in both cancer and Lyme treatments, and they have offered Chelsey a treatment plan that could potentially improve her condition. However, the treatment will require Chelsey and family to travel from their home in Florida to Arizona for 8-12 weeks, and they need your help to cover the costs of housing and travel.

As a compassionate and caring community, we want to support Chelsey and her family during this challenging time. The treatment at Envita Medical Centers, and the costs of housing and travel are significant. That's why we are reaching out to you, our generous donors, to help us raise $40,000 to assist in covering these expenses.

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will go directly towards covering the costs of Chelsey's treatment and care. Every dollar counts, and your support will bring Chelsey one step closer to healing and recovery.

Let's come together as a community to support Chelsey and the Rahtjen family during this difficult time. Your generosity will not only improve Chelsey's quality of life but also bring hope and healing to her family. Thank you for considering supporting Chelsey's Hope for Lyme in Arizona.

Chelsey and Family are trusting in God for healing and are hopeful that this treatment will greatly enhance her quality of life. If you are unable to support financially would you please commit to praying together during this time for wisdom from the care team and supernatural healing?

Psalm 34:4-7 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

Update #1

April 29th, 2025

We are so blessed by the support of our community! As of today we officially have a start date for treatment! Chelsey will start treatment in Scottsdale on May 19.  Thank you for your continued support and prayers.  Will you pray that all of the details of the cross country relocation will go smoothly and that God will continue to sustain Chelsey's health over the next 3 short weeks? 

Chelsey had 14 vials of blood drawn today to continue to get updated labs so that the Doctor and Care team at Envita can tailor her treatment plan to best attack this disease.
