Join Us in Funding Rowan's Stem Cell Therapy

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We have created this GoFundMe campaign to support my best friends, Devoreaux and Dan, and their son, Rowan, as they embark on a life-changing journey to Panama for stem cell infusion treatment for autism. Devoreaux and I have been best friends for nearly 25 years, and I’ve had the privilege of watching Rowan grow into a bright and loving child. Despite the many challenges that autism has brought into their lives, Rowan continues to show incredible strength and resilience. Now, with this advanced stem cell therapy, we believe there is a real opportunity to make a meaningful difference in Rowan’s future.

Stem cell treatment has shown promising potential in helping children with autism by improving communication, social skills, and overall development. Unfortunately, this treatment is not available in the United States, and the costs associated with traveling to Panama and receiving the treatment are significant.

We are raising funds to cover the cost of the trip, the stem cell therapy itself, as well as any follow-up care needed afterward. We are incredibly grateful to Options for Autism, a local non-profit organization focused on supporting families like ours, who will also be helping raise money. Their support and guidance during this time mean the world to us, and we couldn’t be more thankful for their partnership.

Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign—will directly impact Rowan’s chance for a brighter, more independent future.

Devoreaux and Dan have been incredible parents to Rowan, and this treatment could be the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for. No donation is too small, and every contribution makes a world of difference. Please help us give Rowan the best opportunity to thrive.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness as we work together to bring Rowan closer to the future he deserves.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Bryal Hilton

On behalf of Devoreaux, Dan, Rowan, and their entire family.
