Help Me Make My Dream Come True

Donation protected
Hi, I am Randi 25 years old and hoping to have a more normal and independent life experience. At 5 years old I was losing my balance and had extra movments of my extremities. This became progressivly worse as the years went by. I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Ataxia plus other related disorders. This condition causes me to lose my balance and I fall down a lot and get bruises.  Because of this I am unable to get around without a arm or walls to hold on to. If I try to stand or walk on my own I fall and hurt myself. I use my scooter but there are times I have to do things I have to stand for.

I cannot walk on my own. I was diagnosed at around 12 with AOA1 (Ataxia with Oculomoter Apraxia). A genetic condition which has never showed up in our family history.  We were pretty devastated about it. It is a progressive disorder that is very rare.  Like 1 in a million at least. Many people have Ataxia, there are many different kinds. There is no cure, but there is a belief that stem cell therapy could help. I want to try this therapy which I can't possibly afford, Hence the Go Fund Me site. Maybe it's a pipe dream, but I'll try anything that might help. I continue to do the things I enjoy,  I love life, but maybe this could make this easier for me. I would love to fall down less and not hurt myself so much. But I keep on plugging away at life and finding ways to be happy. So I ask, contribute if you can, I know it's hard for a lot of people, But Please, Please, Please share this with as many people as you can. The more we get it out there, the better chance I have of succeeding

Please, Please everyone share this or donate you can help me make my dream come true of being able to walk again, and not fall and hurt myself all the time, it's really frustrating falling all the time and not being able to have a normal life I really Want to be able to drive a car but I can't because of my disability, I can't do this without your help

It would be really awesome and really change my life and It would be the Happiest day of my life. I know that its hard for some people but if you can I would really love it if you could donate

I thank all of you for sharing and donating

I really do appreciate it
