BACK SURGERY FOR RICK CROISANT

Donation protected
My name is Rick Croisant and a little over 2 years ago i had an accident that left me paralyzed. I dropped a tree on myself while cutting firewood and broke my T8 vertabrae. I have been doing a lot of research on alternative therapies and have talked to some doctors in Bangkok, Thailand with Unique Access Medical. The surgery is a fairly new procedure but has had good results. They would place an insert on my spinal cord that uses electronic stimulation to make my muscles work.  They would also inject stem cells into injured spinal cord that would help repair it.  They have had a very high success rate with any injury under a T3 so they say mine has a very high probability of working. It would hopefully give me back my bbladder control, bowel control, motor functions below injury.   If everything goes well it could also give me feeling below my injury and possibly be able to stand with minimal assistance, like a cane or walker. It would allow me to enjoy  more things with my kids and be less dependant on others. I would be in Bangkok for 40 days for surgery and extensive therapy. I have been accepted to go already but i need help with financing it. They already have me scheduled to be there on September 10th but if i can't get help I will have to reschedule for a later date. More information can be found on their website:   www.uniqueaccess.com ‌ .  More information on the surgery itself can be found on  www.epiduralstimulationnow.com ‌ .  My tratment would include epidural stimulation + stem cells + growth factors + extensive rehab for 40 days. When I first had my accident the local community helped out very much and it was greatly appreciated which makes it very hard for me to ask for people to help again but I've been doing a lot of praying and if it is God's will everything will work out for the best.
