Canterbury

Hi I'm Leisha I'm 33 and have a husband and 3 amazing children,

But I've also got SLE lupus I was diagnosed in 2015 while I was pregnant with my youngest daughter, there was a lot of blood tests, scans and scares but my little girl came into this world with not 1 issue, myself on the other hand was abit different for the first 6 weeks I had to get injected into the stomach as well as be put onto medication to try to control the lupus, as my body was getting used to the medication my hair would fall out in clumps, my fingers would swell up to the extent I had to get my wedding ring cut off, took effect on me mentally and knowing the medication can affect other organs in the body which results to constant blood tests it's horrible, i thought there's got to be something better than this so i did some research and found stem cell treatment I've got in contact with this great company in Queenstown and trying to organize to get the procedure done obviously it comes with a cost but to me it's worth it to me and my family

Use of funds

Funds will be used for the procedure ($10,000) and if there's funds left it will be to return home
