LymeAid 4 Kids Provided $399,400 in Grants Since 2004

About LymeAid 4 Kids (LA4K) – The Lyme Disease Association started LA4K fund in 2003 and has distributed monies for  children all over the U.S.since 2004,  Developed with the help of author Amy Tan, the fund is for children who do not have insurance coverage or receive reimbursement for Lyme disease treatment/diagnosis and whose families have economic difficulties. Donations can be made on-line to LDA to help the LA4K fund, as there are so many applicants in the U.S.that the fund does run out of money frequently. (In 2005, LDA awarded monies to two families in Canada, but there are so many families in need in the U.S, that LDA limited it to U.S. families only).                                                                              Click here for application
