Let's Get Julianne to Panama!
Donation protected
Five years ago, Julianne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Since then, she has undergone numerous treatments and tried every possible medication. But her body has not responded to any of them. She is set to undergo further testing to determine if she has an extremely rare form of MS or if it is another disease that mimics MS.
Neither diagnosis is good: the treatments are extremely tough and her doctors don't think her body will be strong enough for either. They have begun to tell her she'll need to begin making choices about the quantity or quality of her life.
Those choices aren't good enough for me. As a mother of four, Julianne should not have to choose between the two. She should be thinking about both quality and quantity of life!
The only option she has yet to try is stem cell treatments. There is an institute in Panama that has seen some success in treating patients with MS and other autoimmune disorders. But it is expensive: $19,000 plus travel expenses. She'll need help covering her trip (and she may need more than one treatment). Let's get her to Panama!
