My son, Eli, was diagnosed with COL6 Muscular Dystrophy, a rare genetic condition that affects every aspect of his mobility. Simple things many take for granted—walking, standing, even everyday movements—are challenges Eli faces with incredible courage and determination.
Despite these difficulties, Eli continues to smile, dream, and inspire everyone who meets him. He’s a bright, kind soul who deserves every chance at a fuller, more independent life.
After extensive research, we’ve found an experimental treatment at Swiss Medica Clinic in Serbia that offers real hope for improvement. This treatment focuses on regenerative and cellular therapies that may help restore muscle function and slow disease progression. While it’s not a guaranteed cure, it could be life-changing for Eli’s quality of life and future.
The costs associated with treatment, travel, accommodation, and aftercare are significant — far beyond what our family can manage alone. That’s why we’re asking for your help.
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings Eli one step closer to this opportunity. Your kindness and support will not only help fund his treatment but also give our family hope — something that means more than words can express.
If you can’t donate, please consider sharing Eli’s story. Spreading the word makes a huge difference.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us fight for Eli’s future.
