Hi, my name is mollie, I’m 26, and I’m raising funds for stem cell therapy to help me manage severe arthritis that has been affecting my life more than I ever expected.

For a long time, I’ve been trying to push through the pain — telling myself it’s “just a bad day” or that it will ease off eventually. But arthritis has a way of creeping into every part of your life. It affects how I move, how I sleep, how I work, and even simple things like getting dressed or walking short distances. The pain has become constant, and it’s taking a toll on both my physical and mental wellbeing.

I’ve tried the usual treatments: medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes. Some helped for a while, but nothing has given me the long‑term relief I need to live a normal, active life again.

After speaking with specialists, stem cell therapy has become my best chance at reducing the pain, improving mobility, and slowing the progression of the arthritis. It offers hope — real hope — for getting back to the life I’ve been missing. Unfortunately, this treatment isn’t covered by the NHS, and the cost is far beyond what I can manage on my own.

What the funds will help with

Every donation will go directly toward:

- The stem cell therapy procedure

- Medical consultations and follow‑up appointments

I’ll keep everyone updated throughout the process so you can see exactly how your support is helping.

Why I’m asking for help

Asking for help doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’ve reached a point where I can’t do this alone. This treatment could genuinely change my quality of life — allowing me to move without constant pain, regain independence, and get back to the things I love.

If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it means more than I can express. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support that you can offer.
