Save Glorias Life-StemCell Treatmnt

Donation protected


Gloria was admitted to the Emergency Room at Hoag Hospital Last month from another MS ATTACK. She and her family are deeply concerned on how they are going to deal with all of the ongoing expenses due to this her situation.

We would like to ask for your help with any donation amount you can provide.

The Money raised will go towards Stem Cell treatment expenses which can be in excess of $400,000. Unfortunantly inusurance does not cover this procedure since it's not FDA approved in the United States.

100% of the money raised, minus the 5% gofundme fee, will go directly to Gloria.  This is not a Non-profit where only a 10% portion of the funds go to the cause.  The first $25,000 will enable Gloria the First treatment she needs to start the process.

Gloria was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 2005. Her symptoms of not being able to type on the keyboard and numerous falls and accidents led her family questioning if she was a young healthy 55 year old Woman/Mother/Sister/Aunt/Provider. She was just telling herself and others… "Well, I’m not a young spring chicken anymore!" That was her reasoning from not being able to do the things she was once able to do. Since then her M.S. has progressively worsened to the point where she can no longer walk without a walker. And when she does walk with a walker, it's at short distances while being very cautious with her surroundings.  She is a very slow walker due to her stiffness and numbness feeling both her legs and full body. It feels like there are 30 pound weights attached to each of her feet. And since one wrong little move can put her on the pavement, not knowing when her last day on this earth is, she is extremely cautious and also needs constant human care to prevent her from falling. Along with that, her speech and cognitive ability to communicate properly is worsening. She can no longer cook or clean for herself or even work. She wants to be able to pick up her little granddaughter (while sitting,) to squeeze and hug her but everyone is afraid that she’ll drop her due to her uncontrolled spasticity and shakiness in her arms and hands. She feel like she's a burden to everyone in her family and hopes that one day She will be back to being a spring chicken to help raise her grandchildren. Stem cell Treatment can help transform her back into a “spring chicken” again. She is a lover of life yet this disease has ripped her out of enjoying life to the fullest. She would give anything to be able to have her life back enjoying it with friends and family the way life is meant to be lived.

We would like to ask for your help with any donation amount you can provide.  

If you can find it in your heart to give to this very unfortunate situation knowing that these circumstances must be very difficult to deal with.  Helping financially will enable her to focus on receiving the right type of treatment to get rid of her MS Symptoms. 

Gloria has been a dedicated and hardworking Single Mother/grand Mother from day one.  Because of her medical situation she cannot get back to enjoying life until she completes her stem cell treatment.  Everyone misses the Gloria she used to be with, Angelic and Glowing personalitly that was a true servant to anyone in need.  She brought cheer, laughter, and love to anyone she touched.
