Help Emma get the stem cell transplant she deserves ❤️

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

I’m writing this on behalf of my dear friend Emma, someone I admire deeply for her strength, resilience, and the way she keeps showing up — even when life knocks her down.

Emma has been battling Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a progressive disease that affects the nervous system and slowly chips away at mobility, independence, and quality of life. After a long journey of research, she found a ray of hope: a stem cell transplant. This procedure has the potential to stop the progression of MS and give her a real chance at getting her life back.

Emma was doing everything she could to save for it, even while dealing with the daily challenges of MS. But life took an unfortunate turn.

In 2023, Emma explanted after struggling with breast implant illness — a decision made for her health and peace of mind. Because the implants may have played a role in triggering or worsening her autoimmune symptoms, removing them was necessary. After explanting, she chose to get a fat transfer to her breasts to feel whole again and regain some much needed confidence after everything her body had been through.

Hoping to preserve funds for the stem cell transplant, Emma went with a more affordable option for the fat transfer and follow-up procedures. Tragically, both surgeries were botched. Instead of healing, she was left with physical complications — and now she’s facing the emotional and financial burden of saving for costly revision surgeries, just to fix what went wrong.

To make matters worse, her most recent MRI showed extensive MS disease progression — more than ever before. It’s heartbreaking. We believe the immense physical and emotional stress from the failed surgeries, along with the strain of constantly having to fight uphill battles, has played a major role in this rapid decline.

That’s why I’m helping Emma start this GoFundMe — because she shouldn’t have to give up on the stem cell transplant, not after everything she’s already endured. I’ve seen firsthand how hard she has been trying to do this on her own. Emma has never asked for help lightly. But this is one of those moments where community can make a real difference.

If you’re able to donate, share, or even just send love her way, it would mean the world — to both of us. Every single bit helps bring her closer to the treatment that could truly change her life.

Thank you for reading, thank you for caring, and thank you for helping my friend keep fighting.

With gratitude,
