Help Andreas Heal: Stem Cell Treatment Journey

Donation protected
Our son Andreas’s journey changed forever on March 20, 2025, when he suffered a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an accident. Since then, he has faced cerebral palsy-like symptoms and a long road of recovery. Every day, Andreas shows incredible strength and resilience, inspiring us with his determination to heal and grow.

After months of research, consultations, and hope, we found that Dezawa stem cell treatment offers the best and safest chance to repair and replace damaged brain cells. This treatment involves a five-day process of administering stem cells, followed by a week of intensive therapy (2 weeks total). The doctors have been incredibly supportive and have confirmed that Andreas is a strong candidate for this treatment, giving us renewed hope for his future.

The funds raised will help cover the cost of each round of treatment, as well as the necessary travel and lodging expenses. We are hoping to pursue at least two to three rounds to give Andreas the best possible chance at recovery during this critical window of healing.

We want to begin by saying thank you—from the bottom of our hearts—to our friends and family who have stood beside us this past year. Your love and support have carried us through some of the hardest moments, especially during the time we spent living between the hospital, hotels, and Ronald McDonald homes. We truly could not have made it through without you. More than anything, we want to give Andreas every possible chance to heal and thrive. This treatment is such an important step forward, especially while he is in this critical window of recovery where his little body is still so capable of growth and healing. We’ve poured our time and energy into researching, asking questions, and having virtual meetings with the doctors who would be caring for him. They have been incredibly kind, patient, and thorough—giving us hope and reassurance every step of the way—and have confirmed that Andreas is a strong candidate for this treatment. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful and blessed we feel to have made it this far. Watching Andreas fight, grow, and show his strength every single day has been nothing short of a miracle. And every bit of support, love, and help we’ve received from all of you means more to us than we could ever express. Thank you for standing with us, for believing in Andreas, and for being part of his journey. We love you all so so much. God bless!!
