My name is Cynthia and I am reaching out for support to help my daughter access life-changing PRP therapy for her hip. She was tragically hit by a car while riding her e-bike on February 20, 2025, resulting in a severe tendon tear that connects her hip and leg bone. Despite undergoing physical therapy, she has reached a plateau and her progress has stalled. Her doctor emphasized that without PRP therapy, her recovery will be severely limited. We have exhausted all avenues in pursuit of financial assistance, and her inability to work has resulted in significant lost income. Without this treatment, she will be forced to rely on crutches and a wheelchair, hindering her aspirations. As a dedicated student in the vet program, she is eager to complete her internship, but her current mobility issues threaten to derail her dreams. If she fails to accumulate the necessary hours by next spring, she risks losing her spot in the program. This devastating situation is a direct result of someone else's negligence and lack of adequate insurance coverage. We have depleted my PIP benefits, and her insurance refuses to cover the procedure. Her attorney dropped her case due to the defendant's lack of assets and insurance. We are desperate for your assistance to provide Alicia with the treatment she so desperately needs. Alicia is a bright and compassionate teenager with a strong sense of empathy, always willing to lend a helping hand. She has rescued animals in need, including adopting a dog from the pound and rescuing five bearded dragons. Her ultimate goal is to establish a sloth and reptile rescue. With a remarkable 4.28 GPA, she has excelled as the sophomore president of her school and is an active participant in the lighthouse program. Her determination and focus are inspiring, but her mobility issues have diminished her hope of achieving her dreams. Your support would be a beacon of hope for Alicia, empowering her to overcome this adversity and pursue her aspirations.

UPDATE: We're forever grateful to each and every one of you who has donated! Your kindness means the world to us, and we're so inspired by your generosity. Thanks to your compassion and support, we've reached our first step and can now cover the cost of her first appointment. Her appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday, and we'll be sure to update this post as soon as we receive more information. We've just learned that her doctor will be using a groundbreaking approach, harnessing the power of her own bone marrow to gather stem cells, which will then be injected into her hip. This innovative procedure involves three office visits over the course of a week, and we're filled with hope and anticipation.

UPDATE: June 11, 2025 Alicia received a powerful dose of encouragement yesterday after visiting her doctor, who performed an ultrasound that unveiled more about her condition than her MRI in March, revealing a more complex situation than initially thought. To further pinpoint the issue, another MRI is necessary, but her doctor is confident that with the right treatment, Alicia will rise above her challenges and regain the ability to put weight on her right leg and walk on it. Meanwhile, she's facing lower back problems due to compensating with her left leg, but her doctor's optimism is a beacon of hope guiding her forward. Her MRI is on Friday. Next week we will go back to the Dr and find out her next steps. Thank you to everyone for your unwavering support and generous donations. We are eternally grateful and thankful for everything everyone is doing to support our daughter. We have received an overwhelming outpouring of support, but we still have a long way to go to get her the treatment that she needs. We appreciate anything and everything.
