The NC Lyme Disease Foundation (NCLDF) is delighted to announce that we are offering five (5) grants of $600 to members of the group to help with diagnosis and treatment of Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses. The NCLDF was given funding from a generous donor for this purpose, and we have added additional money from our budget to be able to assist a total of five (5) low-income individuals who live in NC to finance doctor visits and medical procedures as prescribed by a physician with a written prescription to treat tick-borne illnesses.  These funds are available to low-income, North Carolina residents, with a goal to make the funds available starting October 30, 2024, and spent within a year. Low income is defined according to the US Department of Education relative to the size of the household as follows: one-person family unit at $22,590; two-person family unit at $30,660; three-person family unit at $38,730; and four-person family unit at $46,800.
