It has come to our attention that one of our Beacon Hill families is in need.
Over the last ten years Dan and Linda Bergeron have been searching for answers to the gradual decline of their son Alex’s health. Starting around the age of 12, Alex had been dealing with an unexplained illness and pain.
After misdiagnoses and paying for costly medication hoping for some relief, they have found a doctor that determined Alex, now 23, has Lyme disease and other infections associated with Lyme. Because Alex has gone so long undiagnosed, treatment in Canada is no longer possible.
Linda has explained that Alex is now at the point where he is no longer able to work due to suffering classic Lyme symptoms (anxiety, brain fog, extreme joint pain, etc…)
It has been determined the best course for treatment is in Plattsburgh, NY.
A gofundme page has been created to help the family with this costly treatment in the US.

“Where’s the Food” A Community Food Assessment Toolkit
We need your expertise! It is well known that the GEFC’s mission is to collect, purchase, and distribute food for needy persons in North Gloucester, and we do that for over 2,000 people every month! But did you know that, according to our Mission Statement, it is also to support and encourage discussion on reform and social change that would eliminate the need for emergency food assistance?
In order to develop a clearer picture of the food situation in our community, we are embarking on a community food assessment”. A series of community dialogues, called “Where’s the Food” will be held in the next few weeks. This is a special invitation for you to participate in one of the sessions! Together we will highlight what our community is doing well, and identify ways that we can take action to enhance food services and resources that are available.
