Cyndi Smith is a wonderful mother of 8 kids and 6 beautiful grandchildren. Cyndi was paralyzed in 2009 due to an unfortunate spinal cord injury. Through many years of physical therapy and stem cell treatments she was able to regain her ability to walk again. The extensive spinal surgeries and cervical damage is causing significant pain and threatening her ability to continue walking. Because of this and the bone degeneration, she needs to undergo another series of stem cell transplants, taken from her own bone marrow. This is being done in hopes of alleviating the symptoms and rebuilding bone mass . Due to the type of Stem Cell Therapy required, and FDA regulations, she will have to travel out of the country for this, making the cost even more extensive.
