Support Dr. Kathy Mitchell's Medical Needs

Help Support Dr. Kathy Mitchell: Pioneering Stem Cell Researcher

About Dr. Kathy Mitchell

Dr. Kathy Mitchell is a trailblazing scientist whose groundbreaking research on stem cells from Wharton's Jelly of the human umbilical cord has significantly impacted the field of regenerative medicine. Her landmark 2003 paper, "Matrix cells from Wharton's jelly form neurons and glia," opened new avenues for stem cell research and inspired countless scientists, including many in the perinatal stem cell community.

Why Dr. Mitchell Needs Our Help

Despite her invaluable contributions to science, Dr. Mitchell is now facing severe health challenges and financial difficulties. She is battling multiple health issues, including:

- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

- Diastolic heart failure

- Multiple cardiac arrhythmias

- Severe arthritis requiring shoulder replacement surgery

These conditions have left Dr. Mitchell housebound and in need of specialized medical equipment to improve her quality of life and continue her daily activities.

How Can You Help?

We are raising funds to provide Dr. Mitchell with essential medical equipment and support:

1. Adjustable Bed Base ($2,000): To help her breathe better at night and alleviate pain from arthritis.

2. Portable Oxygen Concentrator ($3,500): To allow her to leave her apartment for medical appointments and community activities.

3. Backup Battery for Oxygen Concentrator ($500): To ensure continuous oxygen supply during power outages.

4. Small Power Bank/Generator ($300): For emergencies to power her oxygen equipment.

5. New Laptop ($1,000): To replace her damaged computer, enabling her to continue writing and stay connected.

Total Goal: $7,300 for Medical Equipment

Kathy has a lot of other expenses and it would be great to see this campaign go much higher to support Dr. Mitchell.

Any additional funds raised will go towards ongoing medical expenses and potential stem cell treatments that Dr. Mitchell believes could significantly improve her condition.
