Help in Grayson's Journey: Stem Cell Therapy
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
We are reaching out for my sweet nephew Grayson. Grayson is a bright, loving 4 year-old who has been bravely navigating the challenges of autism. While you see a happy smiley boy on social media it’s actually quite a different story day to day. (Mom and dad just know how to get the shots ) Grayson brings so much joy to everyone around him, but daily life can be overwhelming for him, Christina and Ryan. They want to give him every opportunity to thrive, and that’s why we are seeking regenerative stem cell therapy—a treatment with incredible potential to improve his quality of life.
Grayson has worked so hard and undergone extensive therapies, including Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), which is one of the most intensive treatments available. While each has provided some benefits, progress has been slow, and we are still searching for something that can truly help him break through the barriers autism has placed in his way.
Grayson’s treatment will take place in Franklin, TN, which is 2.5 hours away from home. He will need five separate procedures, beginning with an initial stem cell extraction, followed by three infusions and a final follow-up appointment. This means five trips to Franklin, extended time off work for his dad, Ryan, and multiple hotel stays—adding to the financial strain on their family.
Unfortunately, this groundbreaking therapy is not covered by insurance, and the total cost of treatment, travel, lodging, and lost income is upwards of $30,000 out of pocket. My goal is to raise money to ensure Grayson gets the care he needs without the added burden of financial stress.
Every donation, big or small, brings Ryan and Christina one step closer to giving Grayson this life-changing opportunity. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Grayson in your thoughts and prayers means the world to us.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Let’s come together to help Grayson reach his fullest potential!
