I have an appointment in Russia in July 2017 for a stem cell transplant(HSCT) to allow me a normal life. I need approx. $80,000.

There are three kinds of bone marrow transplants, the type I will be having is Autologous. The term auto means self. Stem cells are removed from you before you receive high-dose chemotherapy or radiation treatment. The stem cells are stored in a freezer (cryopreservation). After high-dose chemotherapy or radiation treatments, your stems cells are put back in your body to make (regenerate) normal blood cells. This is called a rescue transplant. This will save me from spending the last 5 or more years of my life bedridden and unable to communicate.
