Nolan get DMD treatment
Donation protected
My name is Dontae Gardner and I am raising funds to help my son, Nolan Gardner, receive treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy also known as DMD. DMD is an inherited disorder of progressive muscular weakness, typically in boys. Most children with DMD will end up in a wheelchair by the age of 10-12 and most people with DMD are only expected to live into their mid 20’s. Nolan was diagnosed with DMD at the age of five. The only options he has is steroids or gene therapy. Steroids have proven to only prolong the inevitable. Gene therapy was just passed by the FDA and showed progression in children with DMD. Unfortunately my insurance will not cover any portion of it and the state won’t put Nolan on their insurance due to my income being more than $3,000 a month gross. We are relying on charities and donations to try and help get Nolan the help he needs to be able to live his life fully.
