Help me give my parents a gift

Donation protected
My name is Nicole, I have suffered from severe Cerebral Palsy all my life. Last February I was traveling by train, back from interstate, I had been to see a show. Traveling alone means I have to go without food and sleep in my wheelchair. In other words I have no help whatsoever, I have to wear four nappies (diapers) to handle urination.

At one stop, a family got on with another physically challenged person. As I was traveling alone, I struck up a conversation with the family (it was still 8 hours). I connected with them on Facebook.

After returning home, I decided to read my new friends’ Facebook page. And on that page was information on a treatment for Cerebral Palsy which I had never heard of. “Stem Cell Treatment”.  So I started to research the subject. As I was 56, I had given up on finding anything to help me.  The more I read on the subject, the more excited I became. I’m now 57.

You see my life long dream is that my parents will get to see my first steps. My mother is 79 with a heart condition which has necessitated 3 bypasses. My father is about to turn 86 in a few weeks, his health is deteriorating rapidly.

Whilst there’s no guarantee that this treatment will enable me to walk, I believe that it’s my best chance.

The greatest challenge I have is raising the $33,500 American dollars to enable me to have stem cell treatment to improve the quality of my life physically, I would really appreciate any donation. Because of the variable exchange rate it is easier to use American dollars. 

Since creating this page, I have only raised $140 Australian dollars.

I only receive an Government allowance which is barely enough to cover regular living expenses. Sometimes I busk to raise money. But often I have to use that money for bills. 

After enquiring about the treatment, and filling in questionnaires, I've been lucky enough to meet the criteria for this treatment. Being conducted by http://www.uniqueaccess.com and http://www.globalstemcells.com these 2 sites have combined to provide this type of groundbreaking treatment to help Cerebral Palsy and other conditions.
Please visit the above websites to learn more about the treatments offered. 


 Now I just have to raise the money. 
In addition to the Stem Cell injections, additional therapies may include:

Nutrition
+
Supportive
Therapies
Patients receive around
50 sessions
of Supportive Therapies that may include the following:

Physical Therapy

Occupational Therapy

Aquatic Therapy

Speech Therapy
TMS
Acupuncture
and much  more. 

Considering what is included in the treatment, I believe that the cost is reasonable.

Thank you.
