Nice Guys DO Exist! How To Find Them On Match.Com With Kristine Brennan

Do you think your life needs to be perfect to find love? This is not true, and today's episode will prove otherwise while instilling hope in humanity and changing your negative beliefs around online dating. Sometimes life throw's so many things at you that it's impossible to handle them on your own, and when you think things can't get any worse, you can catch a break, and an amazing knight in shining armor can ride up on a horse because you swiped right! This week's guest is my oldest friend Kristine Brennan, and her journey and love story are unbelievably inspirational. In this week's episode, Kristine shares tips around online dating and all of the mistakes she made until she finally got it right!

Kristine Brennan is a full-time nurse and a divorced mother of three who grew up in a coastal town called Hingham, just outside of Boston. Kristine had no idea she had Lyme disease when she was pregnant with her children until she passed it in utero to her kids. Her oldest, Delaney, has been dealing with debilitating symptoms for most of her childhood. She's spent years on crutches and in a wheelchair and has suffered too many procedures and hospitalizations. Kristine has taken her all over the country, trying to get Delaney well while paying out of pocket as a single mother. These trips for treatments forced Kristine to be on her fourth family medical leave. Lyme disease has deteriorated and weakened Delaney's immune system; she only tolerates her hydration and nutrition through a feeding tube. Delaney's younger brother and sister also have congenital Lyme and are treated by a homeopathic practice in California. Insurance does not cover Lyme Disease, which creates havoc and financial hardship in your life. A Go Fund Me has been established to help the Brennan family, and I will share details later on how to donate. 

During all of these incredible challenges, Kristine kept going, searching for a cure, and finding love online throughout all of these personal challenges. I'm excited to share Kristine's unbelievable story of love, strength, and resilience!

Please contribute to the Go Fund Me fundraiser on behalf of Delaney's Journey. Kristine and Delaney are traveling for treatments in the hopes that this will finally put an end to the debilitating symptoms that she has been suffering for most of her childhood. All of these costs are out pocket as Lyme Disease is not covered by medical insurance, and Kristine is on her fourth (unpaid) medical leave. I hope that we can ease some of the financial burdens that has been accumulated over the past decade. We appreciate any support you can give – no amount is too small. You can make donations at www.gofundme.com and search Delaney's Journey. And with your help - one day we'll be able to say Delaney is cured by your caring and kindness. The Brennan family thanks you in advance from the bottom of their hearts.
