Help Give Noah a Brighter Future with Stem Cell Treatment❤️

Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Maryam and I’m a mother to my beautiful 6-year-old son, Noah. At just 3 years old, Noah was diagnosed with Autism Level 2. Since then, our journey has been filled with love, challenges, and endless learning. As a first-time mum with little support, navigating this path has been incredibly overwhelming, especially not knowing what the future holds for him.

Noah is a bright, energetic, and loving child. But everyday life for him isn’t easy. He’s still learning basic skills many of us take for granted. struggles with sensory issues, and needs support to dress, eat, and manage his emotions. Even simple outings can become difficult, as Noah tends to run off or become overstimulated, making a pram necessary just for safety. Starting school this year was one of my biggest fears, and unfortunately, it’s been tough. He needs close supervision and daily support, and despite our best efforts, we’ve had to face many setbacks.

We do receive NDIS funding, but sadly, we’ve had providers in the past who took advantage of that support, delaying Noah’s access to vital therapies and early intervention. He is currently undergoing a cognitive assessment to determine the right school setting and to explore whether he may also have ADHD.

Recently, I came across stem cell therapy — a promising treatment showing results for children on the autism spectrum. I personally connected with another mother whose child (with Level 3 autism) showed remarkable improvements just weeks after the treatment in India. Her story gave me so much hope — hope that Noah can one day enjoy a full day at the zoo without fear of him running off, or sit through a movie at the cinema, or simply become more independent in his daily life.

We’ve looked into all costs involved medical, travel, accommodation, and therapy and the full amount adds up significantly. That’s why I’m reaching out to ask for your support.

We’re trying to raise $35,000 AUD to give Noah this opportunity. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly towards making this treatment possible for him. This is my dream for my son to give him the tools to thrive, not just survive.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading our story and for helping us get one step closer to giving Noah the life he deserves.

‼️Update on Noah’s Stem Cell Treatment ‼️GoFundMe We have received several quotes for stem cell therapy from clinics in India, Turkey, and Serbia. I recently had a consultation with a doctor from a clinic in Serbia, where they explained the procedures and risks involved. To be honest, the risks did concern me. Currently, stem cell treatment for autism is still considered experimental and is not medically approved in Australia. After careful consideration, we have decided to put the stem cell therapy on hold for now. We will also be taking down the GoFundMe regarding the stem cell donation, as we are not comfortable accepting funding while we are still uncertain whether it is truly the best option for Noah and his health. We want to carefully consider all avenues for this and other upcoming medical procedures. Noah does have two upcoming medical procedures that were also included in the original funding amount. These procedures are not covered by Medicare and must be paid for out-of-pocket. For those who have donated, we are deeply grateful for every donation, your support, and your kindness. All donations will now go towards covering these remaining medical procedures, which we would like to have done as soon as possible, as Noah will require surgery under anaesthesia. The GoFundMe will remain active until the end of the week and will be taken down afterward. If you still wish to donate towards his upcoming medical procedures, we would sincerely appreciate it. To be very clear, all funds are solely for Noah and are being kept in his private account. Once again, I want to sincerely thank those who have messaged me privately to check on Noah. Many people never knew the physical and emotional struggles I was going through. As a parent, you do everything you can to give your child a better quality of life. That has always been my goal, and I pray that, Inshallah, one day Noah will have the life he deserves. I have accepted that everything happens by the will of Allah and that this is my naseeb and my test. Thank you all again for your kindness and understanding.

With love and gratitude,
Maryam & Noah
