How Epidural Stimulation and Stem Cell Therapy Can Change Celeste Glover’s Life—and How You Can Help
Spinal cord injuries can be life-altering, but thanks to groundbreaking treatments like epidural stimulation and stem cell therapy, there is new hope for people like Celeste Glover. After a motorcycle accident left her paralyzed from the waist down, Celeste has been fighting for a second chance at mobility, and she’s discovered an innovative treatment that could make this possible. However, the procedure cost is significant—$110,000—and she needs your support to get there.
This September, in honor of Spinal Cord Injury Month, we’re aiming to raise $5,000 to help Celeste get one step closer to her surgery. Here’s how your donation can make a huge difference in her life.
What Is Epidural Stimulation with Stem Cell Therapy?
Epidural stimulation is a revolutionary procedure that involves surgically implanting electrodes along the spinal cord below the injury site. These electrodes act as a bridge, capturing electrical impulses from the brain and delivering them to the nerves below the injury. With intensive physical therapy, patients like Celeste can retrain their bodies to use this new connection, enabling voluntary movements in areas once thought paralyzed.
Stem cell therapy, which works in conjunction with epidural stimulation, involves injecting umbilical cord stem cells at the injury site. These stem cells can develop into new nerve cells, further enhancing the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. Combining these two therapies gives patients the best chance of regaining mobility and improving their quality of life.
While these treatments offer incredible promise, they come at a steep cost—especially for those like Celeste, whose insurance doesn’t cover these advanced therapies. That’s why we’re asking for your help.
How Your Donation Helps Celeste Reach Her $110,000 Goal
Celeste’s goal is to raise $110,000 to cover the cost of her surgery at Verita Neuro’s clinic in Guadalajara, Mexico. This amount includes the surgery itself, six weeks of physical therapy, travel expenses, and aftercare that will give her the best chance of success.
Raising $5,000 during Spinal Cord Injury Month is just the beginning, but it’s a crucial step in ensuring Celeste gets the treatment she needs. Every dollar raised will help her get closer to the surgery that could change her life forever.
Every contribution matters. Together, we can help Celeste reach her goal and take the following steps toward recovery.
