Give Denise a Chance to Stand and Walk Again

Hi, I am putting this together on behalf of myself and our immediate family. We are in need to raise money for a procedure that can help my sister Denise have more movement in her legs, hands, fingers, feet, to potentially stand up or even God willing walk again. My sister Denise, was in a terrible car accident in November of 2016, leaving her Quadraplegic, fracturing her C5 and C6, during her first surgery to help repair, metal plates were placed on her C4 all the way to her C7. She is considered a incomplete spinal cord injury, which gives us so much hope in medicine to help her feel more movement within her body. My sister Denise has two children, Arthur 12, and Gianna 9, it's been a difficult time for her and her kids, both physically and emotionally stressful not being able to be hands on with her children. This new procedure we came across, is the most advanced stimulator for spinal cord injuries, called Medtronic Intellis. The device is placed on the posterior structures the spinal cord, where it supplies electrical currents that connect nerve signals from the Braine to the spinal cord tissue below the injury level. This allows the possibility of voluntary movement and the return to normal of various involuntary body functions such as the improvement of autonomic functions, gross motor skills, muscle mass, tone and strength, improved function in lower limbs including the ability to stand, and walk with support, as well as bowel and bladder function.

Because the amount is extremly high, The Dr. suggests trying the stem cell procedure, stem cell injections on the site of injury is known to help regenerate and repair damaged tissues. This procedure is only done outside the US. The Cost of the treatment with is $23,000, Our family including my sister would do anything for the miracle of having her stand up, walk and help herself like we do on a daily basis, better use of her hands to be able to cook, feed herself, and use the restroom, is a wish she longs for. ANY amount truly helps get her to this goal. Thank you for your love and support.
