Stem cells therapy for Maya
Donation protected
Thank you for visiting Maya's profile.
I am trying to fund my daughters stem cell therapy. Also I'm hoping to help my daughter Maya to boost her physical and intellectual development.
Maya is a wonderful 6 year old little girl from Lancaster, UK. She was born in London.At first she was assumed to be fully healthy, however after further investigating and a lot of tests, unfortunately she was diagnosed at the age of 6 months with Cri Du Chat genetic syndrome. This disability heavily affects the physical and mental development of the affected child. It also comes with many other other smaller illnesses like Reflux, Muscle contraction, insomnia, food digestion problems, constipation, heart defects. Our little angel has been affected by all of the above. From a very early age Maya has had rehabilitation, she's being taken care of by a physiotherapist, OT and speech and language. Despite all that it's still not enough, she still needs more rehabilitation to bring out her full potential.
Maya also has a loving brother aged 17.He loves play with her.They enjoy playing hide and seek.Hes very caring of her and he helps out a lot with taking care of her and her rehabilitation.
From birth Maya has very serious sleeping problems, for the first 4 years she, as well as us barely slept until she started taking medicine which would allow her to sleep. She also ate extremely little which caused her doctors to suggest tube feeding, and or PEG. We decided to make this our very last option and we faught for her weight without the assistance of any artificial feeding machines. This was a great decision as now she eats anything and everything.
Shes currently sleeping in a special swaying bed which assists her sleep, besides the fact that she still takes the sleeping medicine mentioned before. She's also very hyperactive and momentarily aggressive towards herself as others around her. She cannot speak, which we believe causes her stress and frustration. As she understands a lot, however she cannot communicate with us, finally resulting in aggression as said before. She's also unable to walk by herself, and so she's uses a specialised buggy.
She's able to make a few steps by herself however her hyperactive nature as well as the muscle tension and poor balance make it very difficult for her to walk, and these things make it very hard for her to make progress.
Maya's extremely social. She's very friendly and likes to say hello to everyone. She loves playing with other kids. She also enjoys going to the park and playing on swings. One of her hobbies is drawing on paper, as well as listening to music. Her doctors always say that she has enormous potential however in order to show that, she needs constant intensive rehabilitation.
We're raising money for stem cell therapy, as well as professional intensive physiotherapist. Stem cells are a new form of therapy in the world of medicine, injecting these cells is meant to positively affect her motor skills, attention span, calm down her agressive tendencies as well as sleep. During the therapy, Maya needs to be intensively rehabilitated in order for the therapy to have the best outcome.
Please help us make a change in Maya's life.
