ALS Therapy for Cesar

Donation protected

My story starts 2 years ago when, suddenly, after jogging a few km I started feeling weakness on my left foot. I thought it was just a bad day, but as the days and months progressed, I got weaker and weaker; so weak that I couldn't walk anymore. Around Christmas of 2016, after many painful exams, I was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also know as ALS. In short, the diagnosis was a sentence to a very painful death in less than 5 years. I took matters into my own hands and started a strict diet, exercises, therapies, and supplements to slow the progression. Today, I have severe weakness in my legs, arms, and torso. My mobility is very limited, and I cannot live my daily life without assistance. Now, after two years of living with this disease, I have found a very promising treatment: stem cell therapy. Doctors have had great success treating ALS with stem cells, but the cost is out of my reach currently, and I don't have the time to save for it as my health grows worse each month. I hope to start the therapy at the end of June, but I need help to get to California and to pay for the therapy. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and any and all help will get me closer to a possibly life saving therapy.
