Given by 18 generous donors in 11 weeks

My mother has Progressive Primary Multiple Sclerosis and needs a Stem Cell Operation to help her get a better quality of life.

Nationwide

My dear mum Veronika Alesich (aka: Baba) suffers from Progressive Primary Multiple Sclerosis and has had this debilitating disease for 42yrs she has suffered considerably with severe pain, memory loss, falling and at times hurting herself being hospitalised up to 4 times this year. My Mum is a wonderful, caring and loving person and gives so much to people even when she doesn't have a lot herself.

She loves to bake and finds relief in doing so, this helps to keep her moving as at times her pain is unbearable she doesn't want to sit and suffer, she will out of the blue bake for people and take it to them, she gets so much joy in seeing them smile while all along she is suffering inside.

Her love for her family is unconditional and we wouldn't be complete without her, Mum is gradually declining in her health as the MS progresses, there is a Stem Cell Operation that will give her a better quality of life, which she has missed out on over many many years. This operation is in Australia and will take place in Feb next year, we are hoping to raise enough money for Mum so she can make the trip over there and be as comfortable as possible, pay for treatment, operation and everything that is attached to this.

Mum has given so much over her life and now we ask for help for this amazing person so she can be around for her grandchildren and soon to be great grandchild.
