Update on Nick Risden Lyme disease fundraisers - Page 1

Where else can a $10 raffle ticket give you a chance to win $700 in gift cards, AND help a good person in his fight with multiple tick-borne illnesses?

The cut-off time to purchase tickets is 12:00 PM Eastern time on Saturday, November 18, with the drawing to be done live on the "Silent Auction to Support Nick Risden" Facebook page.

Just look at all the different gift cards included in this basket--think of how many holiday gifts this would get you off the hook for! Or, of course, you could just use them to treat yourself after you've run ragged taking care of everyone else's holiday needs, too!

Nick was able to meet his goal of pre-paying for his antibiotics for the full course of the treatment with the help of his fellow members of the 'Tribe of the Dog' like you and I, and now the push is on to raise the remaining USD$40,000.00 to cover the other expenses he will have to meet over the course of the next 10 months--things like doctor, hospital and home health care supplies, utilities, feed for the animals that are still with him on the farm, as well as food for himself, and other associated costs of living that go on despite him being physically unable to perform the work of his profession as a dog trainer and boarding kennel operator. Any help with this is sincerely and humbly appreciated by Nick, his friends and his family.
