Struggling to afford Lyme disease testing or treatment? There may be help available. 💚
The Northeast Lyme & Associated Diseases Resource Foundation (NELAD) offers financial grants for Lyme disease testing and treatment with a simple pre-application process, no age restrictions, and support extending beyond the Northeast to families across the United States.
Grant support may include:
🩺 Lyme-literate practitioner visits
🧪 Testing grants
💊 Medications & supplements
🌿 Integrative therapies
🧠 Mental health support
💚 Additional treatment-related expenses
Pre-application deadline: June 15, 2026 ⏳
If you or someone you love is struggling to access care, this may be an important resource worth exploring.

NELAD was created by a family deeply impacted by Lyme disease and is supported by passionate advocates and board members dedicated to helping patients access care. Importantly, all donations go directly toward grants for patients and families — not administrative overhead.
