That video was so moving; so touching to me. I really just want to thank the whole Arlen family for teaching us about Lyme. We found out that 4 out of 5 people in my family have it; my mom, brother, sister and me. It is a really terrible thing to be living with and even though I can’t completely relate to Victoria, I still feel like I know. Anyway, just.. thank you SO much, Arlen family, for helping my family to becoming healthy again. God bless and good luck! (:

I cried when I seen this video. It’s people like you Victoria I keep fighting for better treatments, and testing. Your lucky to have such a wonderful family supporting you in your fight. I hope one day soon a cure will be found, and this disease will be nothing more then history written in the medical books. Bless you.

Victoria is an inspiration to us all. She has faced so much adversity at an early age yet has managed to keep an incredibly positive attitude and her wonderful personality. I am hoping and praying for her speedy recovery!!!

Victoria was in a dance class of mine, around 2005, probably when she was in 4th or 5th grade. I believe it may have been the last dance class she was able to be in.
She was a joy, an awesome story-teller, a wonder at making you laugh, and so enthusiastic about everything.
I learned to know Victoria’s enthusiasm. With that, she will be able to overcome once more (and for good). I think of her always.

My heart goes out to Victoria, her family and their extended family. What a horrible disease. Who knew it could be so debilitating? Why is there no cure? Public awareness is key. I was under the impression penicillin cured this disease.

Please God give this family your love and support. This child should not have to suffer… my heart is aching right now… but her soul and spirit are so bright! Me and my son also suffer from this disease… it is a shame…. She is just beautiful and my love goes out to her.

Beautifully done, what is her condition now? No one should have to suffer like this.
