Help my mom with her brain injury
Donation protected
On 5/16/16 my mother suffered a brain injury. She stopped breathing in her sleep but luckily my father was there to call the ambulance. The ambulance is suppose to arrive no later than 5 minutes when a patient is not breathing, unfortunately they arrived 10 minutes later. The time she spent without oxygen has caused significant brain damage. She is currently in a vegetative state, unable to move, walk or talk. Another side effect from the lack of oxygen is involuntary muscle movements, referred to as myclonic jerks.
There is no medication or treatment to heal brain injuries in the United States, but there is a solution in Mexico known as stem cell transplants. Therefore, I am raising money for 2 treatments of stem cell transplants, a known solution to combat brain injuries. She will first need to be transported from Michigan to California and from California to Mexico. Due to to the distance, her condition and the need for medical staff, medical transportation is $15,000 round trip and each treatment is $20,000.
My mother is my everything, and I tell her this everyday. I am 31 years old and she still has an ugly picture hanging up in her bedroom that I colored when I was 6 years old. I have the best mother in the world and there is nothing I won't do for her. I live in Chicago and drive home to Michigan every other weekend to spend the weekend with her where I visit for 12 hours straight and only leave her side for food. On the weekdays I call my father everyday and ask to speak to her. I pray for my mother all day everyday and ask that even if you cannot donate to please pray for her to come home. I miss her so much, please find it in your heart to help my mother get the treament she so deserves and needs.
