My Name Is Jasmine—and I Need Your Help to Heal

I’ve always been a nurse. A caregiver. Someone who shows up in the most vulnerable moments of others’ lives to offer care, comfort, and compassion.

But today, I find myself on the other side—no longer able to work or care for myself after surviving a brutal act of domestic violence that left me permanently disabled.

What Happened

As a result of the violence I endured, I suffered four strokes and a traumatic brain injury (TBI). These injuries have left me with:

Right-sided weakness

Wrist drop and frozen arm

Foot drop

Loss of independence

Inability to work or perform daily tasks

I now live alone in a hotel room, without access to the care I once provided so freely to others.

There Is Hope—But I Can’t Do It Alone

After months of research and prayer, I found a breakthrough treatment that could offer me a second chance: Stem Cell Therapy at the Cell Performance Institute (CPI) in Tijuana, Mexico. This therapy has shown promising results for people with similar injuries, and I believe it could help restore some of my mobility and improve my quality of life.

The Challenge: The Cost of Care

The total cost of the procedure, including treatment and related travel expenses, is estimated between $45,000–$50,000—an amount I simply cannot afford as a disabled, unemployed survivor.

How You Can Help

Please donate whatever you can—no amount is too small

What Your Gift Means

Your donation is not just helping me access treatment. It’s giving me a chance to live. To heal. To return to the world with dignity, movement, and a future that isn’t defined by pain.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping a nurse heal.

With deep gratitude,

Survivor. Nurse. Fighter.
