Roxanne's MS treatment in Ottawa

Donation protected

Today I want to bring to your attention the story of a wonderful person whom I've been honored to call my best friend for the last 18 years .
She has been my support system for as long as I can remember and today I would like to find a way to pay it forward with your help .
6  years ago she was diagnosed with MS after a drunk driver smashed into her car ,the doctors still can't confirm or deny if that is what triggered MS to emerge.
In the last 6 years I watched her turn from a vibrant 32 year old young woman into someone who can barely see or walk, not to mention all the other challenges she had to deal with being a single mother and raising 2 teenagers.
As long as I have known Roxanne she was and still is a true fighter at heart ,she doesn't give up easily and wants to kick MS's butt, but she needs our help!
Since she was diagnosed , she had over 15 MRI's and every time there were new lesions in her brain.
The Doctors changed her medications several times in hope of slowing down the disease , unfortunately a lot of those medications put her at risk as well (brain damage, liver damage, kidney failure and heart decease just to name a few.)
In January 2016 Roxanne  learn that she qualified     for a stem cell clinical trial that will take place in Ottawa,On. After everything she has been threw this news is more that we could ever hope for. Unfortunately this comes with expenses that she just cannot afford. Since the trial last for a year Roxanne will have to move to Ottawa for the duration of the treatment.Her children,Michael15 years old and Ylana 19 years old will have to stay behind due to school and that's where we need ur help. Roxanne will have to cover rent for a place in Chatham for her kids as well as a place in Ottawa for herself, which lets be honest is impossible when your only income is ODSP.Please help her raise the money so that she can finally get a piece of her life back

If each and everyone of you who reads this can open your heart and truly understand how horrible this disease is and help me get her dream to come true I would be eternally grateful.
Please don't just scroll down or close your hearts to her story , help me get my best friend back.
Thank you all for reading and remember there is no small donations every dollar counts.
