Mother of 3, needs treatments for MS

We are initiating this for Amber H. of Cabot, Arkansas, a mother of 3 who is seeking help to pay for Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) treatments. Her goal is to watch her children grow up and one day experience grandchildren. In 2011 she was given 10 to 15 years to live. We are now in 2023. There is a treatment that can save her life… However living on disability and Medicaid is a struggle within itself much less adding PPMS symptoms and struggle.

Here Is Her Story:

“I woke on May 23, 2011 numb, from my shoulders down. I had no idea what was going. I had three kids at home that needed me and I didn’t have time for what ever it was. A long ambulance ride, two hospitals, 1 very long MRI and I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I remember saying to the dr, I have three kids that need me, it has to be something go look again.

Here I am 12 years later, my diagnosis has changed from Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) to Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS).

This means I no longer get a break from the symptoms like I used too. I feel the pain all the time; I feel tired all the time, walking takes focus, my head is cloudy my vision is blurred. These symptoms don’t get lesser or go away anymore.

I have been on 5 of the 7 treatments available. The other 2 I simply can’t have due to risk factors that my doctors wont allow.

There is one treatment left , this is potentially my miracle. Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Unfortunately, being on disability and Medicaid does not allow for it unless I pay out of pocket. I am still over $80,000 short including travel and expenses as well as care for my children while I am in treatments for a month and a half. Please, I will happily accept anything you can give.”

With sincerest gratitude, Thank You.
