Hi, my name is Sherry, and I’m raising funds to help my husband, Ron, take the next step in his recovery after a life-altering stroke.

On October 17, 2024, Ron’s—and my—world changed forever.

A massive stroke left him with left-sided paralysis and a mountain to climb.

But Ron is a fighter. Through months of therapy and sheer determination, he taught himself to walk again. Each step was hard-won. Each moment, a quiet triumph. Yet his left arm and hand remain almost entirely immobile—a silent barrier that affects the rhythms of everyday life:

It’s the kind of independence most of us don’t even notice—until it’s gone.

Now, there’s a breakthrough.

A medical device called Vivistem could be the key to restoring Ron’s mobility and independence.

What Is Vivistem?

Vivistem is a wearable neurostimulation device designed to reawaken communication between the brain and nerves after a stroke.

It delivers gentle electrical pulses to the affected arm, stimulating the nerves and encouraging them to “talk” to the brain—essentially retraining the body to move.

For Ron, Vivistem could mean:

✅ Regaining movement in his arm and hand

✅ Dressing and bathing without assistance

✅ Cooking, writing, and embracing life with both hands

It’s not just a device—it’s a lifeline.

A chance to reclaim the simple joys of daily living.

Unfortunately, Vivistem is not covered by our insurance.

So I’m reaching out—hoping for help in bringing Ron closer to the life he knew before the stroke.
