Helen's stem cell treatment

Hi. My name is Helen. In 1990 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and have been battling it ever since. I took a self-injection every day for 15 years. But the disease has taken it's toll on me. And I am no longer on any medication since I have progressed to the next level, secondary progressive. I was forced to retire early on disability. I need a walker to walk, a bench to take a shower and I have many other problems associated with MS. I have been accepted for treatment with a medical group for stem cell treatment. The treatment cost is $15,900. for 3 days of treatment. Plus airfare for 2, and expenses for 3 days, all out-of-pocket. None of this is covered by insurance. It is the first time I have had hope since being diagnosed. I know it's a lot of money, and it's a long shot. But it's a shot I have to take. I raised my 2 children by myself. I'm no quitter. If this turns out as well as my children have, I'll be well on my way to recovery. I'm not used to asking anyone for anything. But this is overwhelming. I had to admit that I do need help with this one. Anything you can do to help with this will be greatly appreciated. By the way, treatment will be with StemGenex Medical Group in San Diego, CA.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. And thank you, in advance, for any help you can give.
