My name is Mandy Kendrick and I’m starting this GoFundMe on behalf of Annette and her family.

This family has always meant so much to me, and I want to do what I can to help ease the burden during this challenging time. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly toward covering medical expenses and helping them access the care she needs.

Help Annette Access Life-Changing Stem Cell Treatment

Annette has always been the kind of person who puts others first. Voted the Friendliest Person in high school, she spent over two decades as a pastor’s wife and later served as the director of a Crisis Pregnancy Center for 15 years. Her compassion and strength have touched countless lives.

In 2008, Annette was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). By 2012, the disease had progressed to the point of full disability. Despite everything, she still wears a bright, unwavering smile—a symbol of her enduring spirit.

The medications available to slow the disease suppress the immune system, leaving Annette vulnerable to constant illness. Worse still, recent MRIs have shown new lesions developing in her brain and spinal cord (both cervical and thoracic). MS is taking more and more from her, but Annette remains determined not just to survive, but to heal, regain her strength, and return to helping others.

After extensive research, we’ve found a promising path: stem cell treatment. This cutting-edge therapy offers real hope for slowing and possibly reversing the effects of MS. However, the treatment comes at a cost, $14,650, which they simply cannot afford on their own.

We’re asking for your help. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to giving Annette a second chance, not just at health, but at purpose. Her dream is to get better so she can once again serve and uplift the people around her.

If Annette has ever touched your life, or if you believe in the power of hope and healing, please consider contributing or sharing this message.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
