Help with stroke treatment breakthrough

Donation protected
As most of you know on December 30, 2021 Matthew suffered a severe Basilar occlusion stroke. It’s been an uphill battle getting him from a coma with tubes coming out from everywhere, not talking, not moving, brain swelling, not breathing on his own, and the doctor only gave him a 10% chance of survival. Matthew beat all odds and survived and has been striving to better himself daily. We have done in-home therapy, we have done light therapy for his eyes, he’s got about five doctors on his Roster that he sees monthly and he goes to Shepherd Pathways every six months for intense therapy. He has come along way and is still striving to get even better. Where he is at right now is he is capable of doing a stand and pivot into bed and a vehicle. His eyes are starting to get more aligned and can see with his glasses on enough to do a small amount of reading. Able to talk now without doing any sign language even though it’s not always clear. Luckily, he did not lose any of his memory or education in paramedic medicine.  Most of his time is spent in his wheelchair and his hobbies are to water our herb garden in the front yard and trying to read some and family board games to help with reasoning and coordination. He tries to help in the house with a few chores like loading the dishwasher up with dishes and matching up socks. Matthew’s ultimate goal is to be able to get out of his wheelchair and play outside with his kids and get back to helping other people and paying it forward. We found a medical institution that has developed  a treatment to help stroke patients regain mobility, speech, relieve pain, help focus eyes, spasticity and other stroke induced deficits. They have over an 80% success rate and they feel that Matthew is a great candidate for this treatment. Each injection is close to $10,000 and he needs a series of 3 injections. This treatment is only offered by one doctor in the United States. His name is Dr. Edward Tobinick in Boca Raton, Florida. not asking for a handout but a hand up so Matthew can get back to his normal life. Please ultimately keep us in your prayers and if you can donate, we gratefully appreciate it!!!! Please pass this on to all of your friends because his first appointment will be in September and then a week later will be his second treatment and then a few months later will be his last treatment. September is coming soon and we need money in order to hold that spot for September.  If you are interested in seeing some of the results of the over 4,000 people that have taken treatment, please visit the strokebreakthrough@com website and see for yourself. It is truly a miracle!!
