Urgently seeking funding for treating my disease

Donation protected
 
Dear potential donors:
 
Hi, my name is Jon, and I have ALS which is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Unfortunately, I am in an advanced stage of ALS and desperately need to get treatment for my ALS as soon as possible to save my life.
 
I am hoping that you will want to help in this most urgent matter!
 
What is ALS? ALS is a horrific neurodegenerative disease that progressively affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, robbing patients of the use of their hands, arms and legs, as well as their ability to speak, swallow and, ultimately, breathe.
 
ALS is a brutal progressive disease; and it has been very sad for my friends and family to watch my decline.
 
My loved ones have been tirelessly taking care of me and searching for a treatment that could possibly stop the tide of this horrific disease.
 
Please know that I am writing on behalf of all individuals who are suffering with ALS and other horrible neurodegenerative diseases.
 
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS affects the nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movements such as walking and talking (motor neurons). ALS causes the motor neurons to gradually deteriorate, and then die. Motor neurons extend from the brain to the spinal cord to muscles throughout the body. When motor neurons are damaged, they stop sending messages to the muscles, so the muscles can't function.
 
My family, friends and I have done a tremendous amount of research over the years to try to find ALS treatments to help me.
 
Our research has ultimately led us to a brilliant Neurosurgeon & Brain Tumor Specialist who has the world’s first experience of injecting autologous mesenchymal fat-derived stem cells directly into the ventricles of the brain for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s Disease, ALS, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The Neurosurgeon’s stem cell treatment involves injecting my own stem cells into my brain to treat my ALS.
 
The Neurosurgeon needs funding to start his clinical trial, a Phase I clinical trial for the proprietary system to be used for ALS. Please know, most importantly, that the Neurosurgeon’s treatment will also be used to treat Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s disease, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases.
 
A wonderful and caring attorney who has been trying to help me to get treatment for my ALS via Compassionate Use had a recent zoom call meeting with the Neurosurgeon and his research team. During the meeting, the Neurosurgeon and his team told us that they are planning to start their Phase I clinical trial for the proprietary system to be used for ALS and that they are currently seeking funding to support their work.
 
I am hoping that you will kindly help fund this brilliant Neurosurgeon‘s clinical trial and my care.
 
Please open your hearts and Donate Today! You will be helping me (still a young man!) and others to have a better quality of life!!
 
As the Talmud teaches: “He who saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.”
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
 
Warmest wishes,
 
Jon
