PRP Treatments for Tariq!

Donation protected
Hello all!

My name is Tariq Aman. I've been playing basketball since I was 4 years old and have played elite basketball since the 2nd grade!  Basketball is my passion!  I am going into my senior year at Coppell High School and this is my last summer of playing elite basketball.   My long term goals are to play collegiate basketball and hopefully play professionally one day. 

I was recently diagnosed with a sports hernia which has kept me off the court for over 6 weeks.  My injury has also limited my ability to train and compete.  I am trying to raise enough money for PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections, which were recommended by my doctor.  The PRP injections are in lieu of surgical interventions, are less invasive and a safer alternative to surgeries.  The injections re-administer your own platelets to activate the body’s natural healing for repair and regeneration. PRP therapy involves sampling of a small amount of patient’s own blood to centrifuge and concentrate the platelets. Once ready, these concentrated platelets are re-injected into the damaged tissue to enhance the natural pace of healing and regeneration. It is not only safe, but is also effective and hazard-free in the long term.   It is very ideal for someone like me who wishes to have a potential career in sports. 

Unfortunately, PRP injections are not covered by insurance and are expensive.  Each injection costs about $1,000 and I may need more than 1 injection.  I also have a younger brother who is a type 1 diabetic and has a lot medical needs and expenses.  This makes it difficult for our family to afford any extra medical expenses. 

We would like to get the PRP injections done in the next few weeks so any donations would go towards those medical expenses.  

For those of you who know me, I am a very serious student athlete who works hard every day and takes nothing for granted.  Any help you could give towards my PRP treatments would be greatly appreciated and never forgotten!  Thank you!
