Healing Journey with Apex Brain Centers

Donation protected
I have cerebral palsy which occurred at or near the time of birth due to a stroke I had. I developed brain damage due to a lack of oxygen to the brain when my heart stopped beating for 5 minutes. Fast-forward 32 years I am able to walk I'm able to talk I am able to think for myself and do everything a person without a disability can do except with limitations. I can walk on my own but my gate is impaired to the point where it is unstable. I can talk but there's slowness in my speech. I cannot drive due to spasticity movements caused by the cerebral palsy. Having watched Lauren and Luke, who are the couple that went viral after his accident and the treatments received by Apex brain centers of North Carolina I decided to reach out to the brain center regarding my condition. They said that they might be able to help me with some of those goals that I want to achieve. These goals are:
Improved mobility

Fewer to none startle reflex responses so that I may be able to drive and become even more independent

Improved speech, such as clarity and faster speech

I am asking for help to cover the expenses of this medical treatment, which my health insurance will not cover. The medical treatment which costs about $5000 plus travel and accommodations for the week.

I am committed to achieving a better lifestyle for myself and for others. Thank you for your consideration and giving.

About halfway mark there are videos of me walking in the 5k Gate River Run and playing the piano and riding my bike with my friends.
