Bryce’s Breakthrough

Story

Help Bryce Take His Next Big Step with Stem Cell Treatment

Our 4-year-old son Bryce entered the world three months early with his identical twin Levi, and has been fighting ever since. He suffered a Grade 4 brain bleed at birth—the most severe level of brain injury, which led to a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. This affects his entire body, making everyday tasks and movement extremely difficult. Still, Bryce is full of joy, determination, and curiosity. He lights up every room with his smile and works so hard in therapy to gain skills many of us take for granted.

We’re now pursuing a powerful opportunity to change Bryce’s life: stem cell treatment at the renowned World Stem Cells Clinic in Mexico. After a recent consultation, Bryce was officially approved as a strong candidate for this innovative therapy—and we are hoping to get him there by August 2025. The brain has the most plasticity until age 6, so time is of the essence.

What the Treatment Involves: Bryce will undergo a specialized procedure using his own stem cells, which will be extracted from his bone marrow, purified, and injected directly into his spinal canal. This method delivers the stem cells right to the central nervous system, where they can migrate to the brain and target the areas most affected by injury. The goal is to promote repair of damaged brain tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve neurological function. Many children with cerebral palsy have experienced gains in mobility, muscle control, communication, and overall quality of life after undergoing this treatment.

Why We’re Raising 32,000:

This amount will cover:
• The stem cell treatment itself
• Travel and lodging for Bryce and his caregivers • Pre- and post-treatment care
• Necessary therapies to support his progress afterward

We are currently working with local venues to organize a large basket raffle fundraiser in June or July to help reach this goal, but we need additional support to make this life-changing opportunity possible.

How You Can Help: Your donation—no matter the amount—will help bring us closer to giving Bryce a future with more independence, freedom, and possibilities. If you can’t donate right now, please share this page or consider helping us collect basket items or sponsor our upcoming fundraiser. Thank you for supporting Bryce and our family; we truly believe this is the best opportunity for Bryce to strengthen his gross motor skills and hopefully stand and walk independently one day.
