Help C.C. Heal: Support Her Stem Cell Therapy

I'm starting this GoFundMe for my mom, who you might know as "C.C." <3. My grandpa and I are splitting this total treatment cost of $15k to give my mom the chance at a normal life for the first time, which she so ridiculously deserves. ANYONE who knows my mom knows she has always dropped everything to be there for someone who needed her help, even when she physically couldn't and shouldn't have due to her chronic pain and fragility. My mom has spent her entire life being a caretaker for others, and now she needs help herself. So, I'm asking if anyone would be willing to contribute even a dollar. It would make mine, my grandpa's, and my mom's hearts warm and full of gratitude. My mom deserves so much, and this is the biggest lifesaver/opportunity for her ❤️. Anything helps, and thank you

(Her story below)

30 years ago this summer, I broke my neck and my jaw two weeks before my 14th birthday. Doctors decided to turn me into a pain medication patient for 7 1/2 years before finally having surgery, which at that point revealed the severity of nerve damage and disc degeneration that was already permanent.

I have herniated, bulging, slipped, and fractured discs from the skull to the bottom vertebrae, with severe hereditary degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, ankylosing spondylitis, stage 4 osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis.

I've had multiple spine surgeries, one leading to paralysis in my leg for nearly 2 years (2010-2012).

After that, I detoxed myself from all drugs and prescriptions, began a healthy lifestyle, and finally became a mom to my kiddo.

3 years ago this February, I was rear-ended and permanently damaged more, leaving me unable to work or really function outside of home. ‍

So, at birth, a full-term healthy baby is born with over 1 million healthy stem cells, which is what gives the body the ability to heal during its lifetime. By the time you hit 30, most people are depleted to a couple hundred to last the rest of your life. If you have issues, especially in your spine, that can deplete your stem cells tremendously.

So, my chiropractor, who has known me for over 20 years and helped me walk again in 2012 when I was paralyzed due to a spinal nerve stimulator implant and removal that messed up, has seen and witnessed himself heal with stem cell therapy. It is technically the only option left that will do any good for me.

He gets pre-COVID C-section umbilical cord stem cells, which usually come with 470 million healthy cells. We are going to inject over 10,000 into my cervical area and then 5,000 into my lumbar, in addition to PRP, which is protein-rich plasma where they take your own blood and bump it up full of proteins your bones need to heal. Those extra proteins basically prime your body to accept the stem cells strongly.

I'm fundraising to cover the costs of this stem cell therapy, which is my last hope for significant improvement.
