John's MS Stem Cell Treatment

Donation protected
My Dad John Charbonneau has been battling Multiple Sclerosis for the past 17 years. He has been in a wheel chair with only his left arm working properly since early 2000s. We are very excited for him to get this stem cell treatment with hopes that he will feel much better!
I am asking for donations for my Dad’s procedures in California. On April 18th 2015 he will be travelling to California to get the stem cell procedure called MSC. What they do is remove stem cells from your body fat, process them and infuse them back in where they migrate to the damaged parts of his brain and spinal column and start repairing them, this is also proven to help very much with inflammation in the body. He will also be getting the angioplasty called TVAM which will simulate the autonomic nerves to help his symptoms. Dr. Arata in California has been doing this for the last 6 months with zero complications! This is the doctor who did my dad’s first procedures in California back in December 2010 and because he is a returning patient he is willing to wave his fee, however these procedures together are still costing $10,000 US and that is not including travel expenses and rental of medical equipment. The approximate cost of this trip is around $20,000 CAN. Canada has approved doing similar trials but unfortunately they are only doing them in people up to the age of 50 and you have to relocate to Ottawa or Winnipeg for at least one year! If you are wondering the outcomes of this procedure then look at the remarkable recovery of Gordie Howe using stem cells. If you wish to donate anything is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!
