I come to you on knees, begging for help. If you are in my email address box, I am sending this request to you.  The above address is to my tax deductible campaign to help me receive  Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) treatment in Mexico to stop the progression of my MS.

I try to always do things on my own, but the cost of this procedure is far more than I can handle.  The procedure alone is $54,500 and I also have to pay for all incidentals along with the costs incurred having a caregiver for 30 days.  I will need to pay them a month of wages that they will lose while they are gone with me. From what I have estimated, the extra cost will be over $20,000.

HSCT is not approved in the United States yet, but is in clinical trial, which I have been denied to join.  Mexico has been doing this for a few years and last July opened their doors to international patients.  I applied in October 2015 and received a date to have the procedure starting October 10, 2016.  Woo-hoo, I can’t wait, but that doesn’t give me a lot of time to raise the funds.

HSCT has a high rate of stopping the progression of the MS disease, which will keep me from getting worse.  Some that have had the procedure, have seen improvements in their walking, balance, bladder, and lifestyle in general.  Any of this would just be icing on the cake.

With all this in mind, I come to you asking for your help and prayers to help me reach my goal of having HSCT.  The above web address is to my campaign for tax deductible donations.

My web page explains the procedure more in depth which is www.mosrevengeonms.com. You can also find future fundraisers on here.  My church is having a singing Friday night, going to have another gun raffle, and planning a concert in the park. I am also planning an auction the 1st weekend in June, with all donations being tax deductible.  I you have anything that you would like to get rid of, bring it by or call me for a pickup schedule.

Thank you in advance for your time,

Merita Graddy Hanna
