Just yesterday I read an article about a young woman with chronic lyme who has started a website that connects people with chronic illness to jobs that are remote and/or flexible. That's amazing!! The website is called Chronically Capable, and the URL is www.wearecapable.org

I have no connection with the website, but I went to BU so I just happened to see this article in our alumni magazine: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2019/lyme-disease-set-her-back-and-pushed-her-forward/

I hope that this website is a success, because I've seen so many people here who want to work, earn money, and feel productive, but can't find a job that is ME/CFS friendly. There's definitely a need for this service!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH US ALL!

I am not able to engage in any type of work at this time, but I spend a lot of time thinking about how I might be able to earn an income in the future. I will definitely check this out.

Thanks again!!!
