Dejanes journey Transverse Myelitis Campaign

I'm Dejane, a 14-year-old battling Transverse Myelitis, leaving me paralyzed from the hips down.

But I'm not giving up hope. With your support, I might walk again. We're raising funds for Stemcell treatment at Stemcure Clinic in Nelspruit, under Dr. Hein van Wyk. The treatment lasts around 4 weeks, costing a total of R83,300. We also need to cover living expenses in Nelspruit, fuel costs, and accommodation, totaling R104,500.

Here's a brief overview: I first experienced back pain on October 28, 2022, and lost the ability to walk shortly after. Initially diagnosed with Gillian Barre, subsequent tests revealed Transverse Myelitis. Since then, I've been undergoing intensive rehabilitation, aiming for recovery and a chance to walk again.

Transverse Myelitis is a rare inflammation of the spinal cord, disrupting nerve signals throughout the body. While some recover fully within three months, others face long-term disabilities.

Your prayers and support mean everything to me during this challenging journey.

Thank you for standing by me.
