Help Izzy Find Her Voice

Izzy is our beautiful 5-year-old daughter. Just before her third birthday, she was diagnosed with autism. Like many children on the spectrum, she started off developing typically—laughing, playing, and discovering the world. But then we noticed something heartbreaking: her speech wasn’t progressing, and her social interactions were regressing. We hoped it was just a result of Covid isolation, but it soon became clear that something more was happening.

While Izzy has made progress with the incredible support of her kindergarten teachers and therapists, she still isn’t speaking and struggles to connect with her younger siblings. As parents, we can’t just stand by and hope for the best—we need to explore every possible avenue to help her thrive.

That’s what led us to stem cell therapy. A growing body of research shows that children with autism can experience remarkable improvements through stem cell infusions. Unfortunately, these treatments aren’t available in the U.S. After extensive research and careful deliberation, we found a medical facility in Panama, the Stem Cell Institute, that offers this groundbreaking therapy. While we are doing everything we can to make this happen, we need help.

Like so many families, we worry about the future. What happens to Izzy when we’re gone? Will her siblings be able to care for her? We just want to give her the best possible chance to live a full, independent, and happy life.

We know times are tough for everyone, and asking for help is never easy. But if you are able to contribute—whether by donating or simply sharing our story—you would be giving Izzy the opportunity she deserves.

Your contribution will be used as follows:

Treatment - $17,000

Travel and Lodging - $5,000

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
