Allen Ridgely

Please Support My Stem Cell Transplant Quest

My name is Allen and I’m a dad, a friend to many, and a 35 year member of West Friendship Volunteer Fire Department. As many of you know, I have had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since age 25. For the past 12 years, I have had to use a wheelchair as my disease has become more debilitating. I am not able to feed, bathe or transfer in or out of my wheel chair. I have not been able to drive my handicap van for over the last 3 years. After researching many options that might be available to help me, I have found that I am a candidate for an “Autologous Stem” Cell Transplant. I am asking for your help so that I can undergo this treatment and stop the downward spiral of my MS.

The facility where I will receive the stem cell transplant is called Stemedix and it’s located in St. Petersburg, Florida. My insurance won’t cover the transplant, so between the fee’s and travel expenses, I need to raise about $14,000.

I have chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.

Thank you for your support!
