Hi my name Bridgette. My husband Mark and  I live in Wisconsin.  Mark is suffering from  stage 4 COPD. Mark is ready for his 2nd round of stem cell  treatment for COPD.  My husband has been living with COPD for 5 years. He struggles everyday. Simple things are a real struggle. He has no real quality of life. This is our last hope, and unfortunately health insurance will not cover any of it. We have to pay up front . The treatment is promising and has already helped so many. With this life saving treatment, he will be able to walk again, and get around 30% lung function, now he only has 7%  They seperate your stem cells from your blood, and the stem cells are put back into him close to his heart. They go straight to his lungs where they are trapped . Then they begin to grow new cells, and start repairing the lungs. I struggle to keep my  household going. I'm the only one working, and taking care of my husband.  This treatment is on the cutting edge of technology. This funding is the only way I can pay for it. Please help, even small donations will go a long way. This treatment is in Tennessee.  All money raised will be used solely for his treatment. The sooner we raise funds, the sooner he can get his life back. I always go above and beyond for people that come into my life. I've helped so many strangers  over the years, never realizing how much help I now need. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
