how you can help

Donate to our "Hope Springs Eternal" Fund 

Until stakeholders in government, the medical community, and within insurance companies respond effectively to the Humanitarian Crisis their policies have created, Emily's Place is seeking your help to end this crisis one afflicted woman at a time. Women who have lost hope under the tortures of neurolyme, who can't afford treatment, and who attempt to take their lives because they don't have access to funds to get better. Right now, we are running a COVID friendly $5 crowdfunding campaign to raise $50,000 for the treatment costs of Robin Adams-Hays, our first guest.

These small donations are so important because we are such a new organization that we're in the process of filing for 501(3)(c) status so larger donations can be tax deductible.

Donate To Our Chronically Thriving "Triumph"  Fund

The cost to participate in this program is $100 per person. The Triumph Narrative Therapy program helps women who are afflicted by chronic illness process their trauma and losses into their own path of triumph forward. We do not currently have a Chronically Thriving Edition for Children and Spouses. Donations to this fund will also assist in the development of these materials.

Donate to our "Team Dreamer" Fund

Help us to gather Dream Teams across the United States to help single mothers and their children get out of survival mode and onto a path of thriving. Right now we are running a COVID friendly $5 crowdfunding campaign for Courtney Atack, single mother of five children who has brain cancer and whose father already has three heart attacks.

Donate to our "Awareness, Education, and Family Triumph" Fund 

To create a survival guide for families, properly endorsed, which can be distributed to physicians and therapists specializing in Lyme Disease and Brain Cancer... so families can get the help and support and education they need before the bleak circumstances set in which contribute to so many divorces..

Share This Website With Those Who Are Afflicted

Share this information with your friend or family members who contract Neurolyme or Brain Cancer so they and their families can have hope again. I was forever the optimist, always trying new ways of doing things, but never able to maintain. During this COVID pandemic, where there are added responsibilities with regard to our kid's education, life can be even more difficult. It's difficult to hold a conversation with more than one person, without the brain beginning to shut down by increasingly debilitating degrees from the effort and if you throw strong emotions into the mix, it becomes extremely difficult to process--causing greater ST memory difficulties, memory recall, greater fatigue and collapse in quick succession. Why? because the mothers brain is always on overload. The crazy thing is that these mothers, fathers and children don't even know life could be any different! 

I didn't until Emily came and helped me.

CONTACT US SO WE CAN RECRUIT SPECIALISTS

Contact Emily's Place if you have a friend experiencing the difficulties that Courtney, Inger, and Robin have faced. We will work on developing a new Emily's Place in your area for single women without children and gather together a COVID Safe dream team of specialists for single mothers and families to evaluate their physical home environment so that it can be re-organized, simplified, repaired and remodeled in a way that lowers the load on the afflicted mom's already tortured sense's and lessen the load on Dad. This team will need to include a professional organizer who specializes in helping those who are chronically disorganized by virtue of brain functioning, a general contractor, handyman, space designer, health and life coach, and a marriage/family therapist who specializes in helping families affected by brain-involved chronic illnesses.

HELP US ESTABLISH PLANS FOR A 2-3 MONTH REPRIEVE

We will work together with this team to bring in a COVID safe daily assistant to do the things which make your loved one collapse by putting her body in so much distress that irritability. tremoring, tortuous tremoring, memory glitches, focus problems, extreme exhaustion and brainfog set in and puts mom out of commission. During this reprieve, once your loved one surfaces in personality again, mothers can regroup using the Award Winning Triumph Program: Chronically Thriving Edition. Give these tortured women, who mourn motherhood dreams passing them by, an opportunity to surface and be themselves again, and then reshape who they can be to thrive through their adversity.

HELP CHILDREN OF AFFLICTED SINGLE MOTHERS

BETTER COPE AND FIND THEIR PATH TO THRIVE

Children of single mothers with NeuroLyme and Brain Cancer experience trauma that is difficult to process in an thier home environment, because they need to be given the space to regroup and heal and find their own path of triumph. Since they also have to be a part of the solution and mom can neither train nor consistently followup with them, the New Vision Triumph Program, is best suited for their needs. There, they can process their fears and trauma and losses, and THE burdens that feel too heavy to bear in their daily lives. Imagine the hopelessness and overwhelm kids and afflicted mothers feel when they are left to figure things out on their own after fathers wear down and move on, or marriage relationships go into such distress that it feels like there is no other way forward. In addition to emotional support and healing, these children receive training in household management and team building. A professional, or trained extended family member, is imperative because moms don't have the energy reserves nor consistent clarity to do either. Instead of illness tearing these families apart, you can help them come closer together and set the children up for fulfilling and successful lives.
