Hey ladies ... share this with your friends and family. Get a great gift AND support a Lyme Disease patient all in the same breath. First just look at it. It's beautiful. Second, it was designed with a special person in mind. This necklace was designed and dedicated for Jessica Stevens. Jessica is a 21 year old who suffers from Neurologic Lyme Disease in addition to Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. Alone, each one is painful, but together it's severely debilitating and painful. Jessica has spent the last 3 years of her life paralyzed. She is unable to sit or walk or even eat. Lately to battle these illnesses, Jessica has been in Mexico participating in a Ketamine study.
You can follow Jessica on her blog at: www.hopeforjessica.blogspot.com
Lymelinks is an etsy shop that sends profits to Lyme charties (and some pieces are made for Autism charities too), but recently decided to "adopt" Jessica. So for each one of these necklaces that are sold, the proceeds benefit the her so her family can pay medical bills. Later, there are plans to create a matching bracelet will also benefit Jessica. Lymelinks plans to adopt one Lyme patient each year.
Usually, the necklaces will ships within 2 to 14 days. Jessica's necklace is on a 19 3/4 " silver plate chain. It has a sterling silver awareness ribbon bail and a 22 mm swaroviski crystal pendant. Jessica's necklace is only $26.95 with a shipping cost of 2.50 to 3.00 to the United States. So for less than $30.00 you can not only have a beautiful necklace, but also a memento to remember Lyme Disease and help Jessica.

I know the family that created this etsy site in person. They are a wonderful family. The mom has Lyme Disease along with her two children. I met her at my LLMD's office shortly after I was diagnosed. Her children had yet to be diagnosed at that point.
