Help Chris get a Epidural Stimulation Treatment!
Donation protected
"Hello, my name is Christopher Sambulá, I'm from Honduras, and I am 37 years old. Six years ago, I had a car accident that left me tetraplegic. I suffered a cervical injury between the fifth and sixth vertebrae, resulting in an 80% loss of mobility in my body.
I am seeking to afford a treatment, which consists of: Epidural stimulation treatment. The first step of the treatment is surgery to implant a spinal cord stimulation device in the epidural space of the spine. It acts as a "bridge," amplifying interrupted brain signals and directing them to areas responsible for motor function below the level of the injury. The device emits an electric current, which produces voluntary movements and muscle contractions. Then, a specialized physical therapy team works to program the stimulator, adapting the intensity and frequency of the current to each patient's body and individual needs. During the minimum stay of 35 days, patients work to learn how to train their bodies to move again and thus become more independent.
I hope you can support me, and I would greatly appreciate your help in significantly improving my life by allowing me to move freely without further risks of harming my body and facing unnecessary barriers. Thank you very much."
