A young Kerry woman with Lyme disease who set up a GoFundMe page to fund vital treatment abroad is "overwhelmed by people's generosity" as more than €66,000 has been donated in just a couple of days.
Secondary school teacher Karin O’Shea, from Kilgarvan, said her life has been destroyed because of the disease, which wasn’t detected early enough, and has spread to almost all her vital organs.
