Hey folks, many of you know that Rachel was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007. She has had many relapses and the drugs are simply not working. Her best option is a Stem Cell Transplant Program at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. They use Rachel’s own stem cells in order to help halt the disease. This treatment has a 98% success rate of preventing relapses.
As you can imagine, the medical costs for something like this are very high. A couple of her friends have started a Go Fund Me in order to help her out with medical costs. If you can help, please consider donating. And please share this with as many people as you can. Rachel has done a lot for the BME community and for many individuals. Let’s help her out in return.
You can donate to the Go Fund Me (and learn more about the procedure she will be getting) here.
