Help Shawn receive Stem Cell Therapy

Hello Friends & Family,

As some of you may know, I’ve been living with back pain for years. In 2019, I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease in my thoracic spine (mid-back) and was told the only solution would be an intensive surgery. I decided to manage the pain without surgery, but unfortunately, things worsened in 2022.

That year, I was involved in a head-on car accident caused by an uninsured motorist who ran a red light and fled the scene. The crash left me with whiplash and a bulging disc at C7-T1. Since then, I’ve tried everything: physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and medications. Despite these efforts, the pain has only worsened.

Recently, I sought help from a pain management clinic, where new imaging revealed additional issues: bulging discs from L2-L3 to L5-S1—nearly my entire lower back.

Living with chronic pain is incredibly difficult. Every day is a struggle, and while some days are better than others, this condition impacts not just me but also those I love. I can’t fully be the husband and father I want to be. The pain limits my ability to engage in activities with Kaylyn and our kids or to help out around the house as I should. This weighs heavily on me.

Thankfully, there’s hope. Advancements in medicine have made Stem Cell Therapy an option. It’s a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses stem cells to target inflamed, damaged, or dying tissue, promoting regeneration and healing.

Unfortunately, this therapy is not covered by insurance due to regulatory restrictions, and it’s only offered at certain clinics. The cost is entirely out-of-pocket, but the potential for a better quality of life makes it worth pursuing.

My goal is to raise enough funds to afford this treatment and reclaim my ability to fully enjoy life with my family. Any contribution you can make would mean the world to me, and I am deeply grateful for your kindness and support.

If you’d like to know more or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for being part of my journey. Your support means more than I can express.
