Mindy Harris is the kind of mother everyone wishes they had and the kind of friend who is utterly mortified to be the center of attention or to ask for anything from anyone. Because she is a GIVER. But life has thrown her so many curveballs that it’s a miracle she is still alive to raise her five incredible children, ages 1-15. She was hit with Crohn’s Disease, Thyroid Cancer and Lyme Disease as a young adult  and has been battling them for the past 25 years. Doctors, medicines, infusions, injections, food restricted diets, more doctors, many surgeries, plus alternative doctors, supplements and treatments have kept her alive, but barely. Then she was in a head-on car collision that she miraculously survived but she has not been the same since. She can’t digest food, can barely walk and her surgical wounds from her colostomy won’t heal. She has been on very restricted diets for years because she has so many intolerances and suffers from malnourishment severe enough that twice this month, she crawled upstairs with her baby to put him down from a nap then laid down herself but woke up without the energy she needed to even be able to raise her eyelids. Her mouth could barely say a word or two with great effort and she couldn’t open her eyes or wiggle anything no matter how hard she tried. It was terrifying for her and her family. 

BUT THERE IS HUGE HOPE!! Some of her friends pooled their money and paid for a small amount of stem cell therapy which cost $4200 and she instantly started feeling wonderful healing changes occurring! She noticed within 24 hours that she had more energy, less pain, and her wound started healing instead of getting worse like had been for months. Over the next week, she started being able to walk and carry her baby again! Her eight year old son remarked, “You’re not using your I’m dying voice anymore!”It was the miracle she had been praying for for many, many years!

She texted the following to a friend who gifted the whole family with a first-ever theme park trip. She had to ride in a wheelchair but this day would have been unimaginable two weeks ago: 

“Spending the day with you and my kids was a highlight for the memory books! Oh my goodness! It felt SO good to be living my life again instead of waiting, waiting, waiting for my health to be better, for my body to get strong enough to walk again, for enough money, health and energy to do the things I want to do! It was just sooo NICE and soooo FUN!!!! I drove home lighter than a feather even though I should have been exhausted. It just felt sooooo GOOD to do something, anything, fun with the people I love most! I feel a renewed sense of hope and victory!!! I’m sooooo grateful that after all these years and all the things I’ve tried, I finally have a direction. I finally know of something that can help! The only way I can describe the new sense of vitality I have now is to say that it feels like I’ve grabbed hold of the Savior’s robe. I’ve been bleeding internally without hope of medicinal rescue for ten weeks. But, oh! The feeling I feel now! I can FEEL my body healing for the first time in over a decade! It feels like I’m being given my life back!!!!” 

A full treatment costs $17.5k (2 treatments are recommended) and we are trying to raise that money plus enough to see an integrative MD so our total goal is $40K. 

Her equally hardworking, supportive, and loving husband has his own hurdles since he fractured his skull six years ago. With a serious traumatic brain injury that he is still working to recover from, it is challenging for him to work. He does it anyway whether he feels well or not, but the money to pay for true healing for Mindy is just not there and now is when she needs it.

Mindy and her family are the most fun and light-filled people you will ever meet! She has wonderful children who are so kind and loving to everyone.  She is irreplaceable as a mom and a friend, and we, her friends, are overjoyed to have found a treatment for her that actually WORKS! We would be so grateful for any help you can give. Even small donations can make a big difference!
