My moms stem cell treatment.
Donation protected
Well, hi. My name is Jake and I am the son of my mother Kristen. (as seen in the photo). We have lived in Phoenix Arizona for most of my life, when I was around the age of 11 my mom was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. This was a big hit for my family considering my mom is a interior designer/ contractor, she owns her own business and that's how we pay the bills around here. It has been manageable but it's hard every day to see her slowing down and getting worse, nothing that she can do about it. But let me tell ya, she is the strongest woman I've ever met. She won't let you know how she's doing she just pushes through it. She has tried everything from eastern to western medicine. Even shots which I could tell hurt her. It's hard to watch, it really is. But this stem cell research is an amazing thing that is a 1 time only treatment, but it comes at a very expensive price that isn't very affordable. It's around $20,000 USD. And it's not a guaranteed thing that it will work. But the factor of hope that pushes us to believe that it will and can. Thank you for your time and have a great rest of your day :D.
