Help Maryanne on Her Road to Recovery

Hi, my name is Ngozi Dozie and I'm raising funds for my dear friend Maryanne Maina, who has been struck by Motor Neuron Disease.

I have known Maryanne for almost 15 years and she has a beautiful soul. I don't believe I have ever seen her without a smile on her face.

Yet her light was dimmed about two and half years ago when a procedural error during routine surgery perforated the sheaths that protect motor neurons, leaving her with a devastating trauma-induced nerve degenerative condition.

Her Current Condition
Her nerves and muscles have degenerated completely, leaving her with total loss of motor function. She is currently under critical home care with an invasive tracheostomy-supported ventilator.

There Is Hope
There is promising stem-cell and transplant treatment available in India. We urgently need to raise funds to take Maryanne to India for this life-saving treatment.

The Need: $150,000 USD
This amount covers:

  • Medical air ambulance - She cannot fly commercial and requires specialized airlifting to India
  • Advanced tests and diagnosis in India
  • Initial treatment at Stem RX Hospital in Mumbai for 3 months

How You Can Help

DONATE - Every dollar counts. Your support will mean the world to Maryanne and her family during this challenging time.
SHARE - Please share this campaign with your networks. Your share could be the one that reaches someone who can help.

Time is critical. Together, we can help restore the light to someone who has spent 45 years brightening the lives of others.

With gratitude and hope,
Ngozi Dozie
