Michelle Riegel

I am 37-year-old loving mother of two who lives in Stroudsberg, PA. In 1998, I was diagnosed with MS. MS is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the nervous system and often leads to paralysis and loss of vision. Over the years, my battle has included numerous conventional medications to try and halt the development of my disease. Unfortunately, the disease is progressing and I am having a difficult time walking. After consulting with my physician and researching treatments for MS, I learned of a promising stem cell therapy transplant. I feel that this treatment is my best hope for a return to good health, but unfortunately it is very expensive as my health insurance does not cover the cost of treatment or related expenses.

I love being outdoors fishing and hunting. I love to read, listen to music and watch my daughter dance and my son swim. I also have two adorable Weimer Reiner’s that give me comfort and joy. I just want to get back to living active a normal life. I don’t view this transplant as a cure but a safe positive treatment toward restoring some of my functionality. I desperately need your help to afford stem cell therapy, and deserves the chance to halt her MS and a chance at a better life!
