My wife has been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome April 2022 till now, a neurological autoimmune disorder that affects just 1 in a million people. This disease is so rare that many go misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, and tragically, others perish without ever receiving the right care. For my wife, it has meant living in constant agony and steadily losing her mobility, making even the simplest daily tasks incredibly difficult.

After exhausting all other options, we learned that an autologous stem cell transplant offers hope for her recovery. Unfortunately, despite the promising research behind this treatment, our insurance has denied coverage, leaving us with no way to afford the procedure on our own. All funds raised will go directly to her transplant, covering medical bills, hospital stays, and related expenses. This treatment is her best chance to regain her health and overcome the challenges of Stiff Person Syndrome. Vivian cannot walk, is progressively debilitating and is chair bound. We need your help.

Thank you for saving my wife's life and helping eliminate this disease from her future. We are humbled by your generosity and deeply grateful for any support you can offer. Every dollar counts—there is no such thing as a small amount. Your kindness means everything to us during this difficult time.
