Dear Friends,
As many of you know, our son Max was born with severe brain damage resulting in cerebral palsy. We have devoted our lives these past four years to exploring treatments that will actually heal the damaged brain tissue.
At almost age 4, Max cannot crawl, sit unsupported, or walk. Socially and cognitively Max is totally on track, which we thank God for with all our hearts.
In July we are taking Max to the Dominican Republic to a clinic known as RegenCare. Here Max will recieve Adult Stem Cell treatments using his own stem cells. There is evidence that this treatment could facilitate the healing of the severe damage.
For the first time, we are asking for financial help. My wife and I have only been able to save about half of the $18,000 expense for the trip and treatment. We are asking first that you would pray for the success of this treatment, that it be the miracle we have been praying for. Second, we ask that you would consider helping us financially. We want you to know we are doing everything we can to save and work towards the goal but we do need help to get there. We will be eternally grateful to you to you. Thank you for the love and prayers you have shared with Max over the years. You will never know the comfort they have brought.
Thank you and May God Bless You!
Dave and Amber VanVickle.
