While attending Seattle Pacific University, my sister Martha suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 1987. She was transported to the hospital and in a coma for three days. Martha has suffered from depression and suicidal ideation since the accident. Shortly after this accident, Martha began taking psychiatric medication to treat her depression and suicidal ideation. She has tried numerous medications and electric shock treatment, which have only been beneficial for short periods. She is unable to function for weeks or months at a time. Despair and misery are words Martha uses to describe her current condition. Despite all of this, Martha continues pushing forward. She works as a pet sitter when she is well enough.

Her doctor recommends Ketamine treatment, which treats Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD). There are amazing results with Ketamine in treating patients with depressive disorders. There are six initial treatments and then boosters when necessary. Unfortunately, the treatments are expensive and insurance does not cover Ketamine. Your support will help cover the cost of the Ketamine treatments and ongoing boosters, offering Martha hope for relief from her depression.

Please consider making a donation to help Martha achieve these treatments, which work in a completely different way from traditional antidepressants. Your generosity can make a real difference in her journey toward healing and hope.
