We are reaching out to you today to ask for your support and compassion for a remarkable woman, Shaneka, who is facing immense challenges in her life. Shaneka is a loving mother of two beautiful children, but she is currently battling an autoimmune disease called Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO). This rare condition primarily affects the optic nerves and spinal cord, causing severe pain, paralysis, and vision loss. We have an incredible opportunity to change Shaneka’s life by enabling her to undergo life-changing surgery at the renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States. However, we need your support to make this dream a reality.

Shaneka’s journey has been filled with immense strength and resilience. NMO has profoundly affected her central nervous system, specifically her optic nerves and spinal cord. The disease has left her unable to walk without assistance and has greatly impacted her quality of life. Adding to her hardships, Shaneka also has diabetes, which further complicates her health situation and requires constant monitoring and treatment. Despite the tremendous physical and emotional toll these conditions have taken on her, Shaneka remains a beacon of strength, resilience, and determination and a pillar of strength for her two young children.

She refuses to let her circumstances define her, and her determination to overcome these challenges is truly inspiring. The surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital offers a glimmer of hope, as it presents a chance for Shaneka to regain her mobility and transform her life.

Johns Hopkins Hospital is renowned worldwide for its excellence in medical care and cutting-edge treatments. Their specialized team of doctors has offered Shaneka a chance to undergo a surgery that could potentially restore her ability to walk. This surgery, combined with ongoing therapy and rehabilitation, would significantly improve Shaneka’s quality of life and allow her to be more active and engaged in her children’s lives.

To cover the cost of Shaneka’s surgery, post-operative care, and travel expenses, we need to raise a total of $200,000 US. This amount will ensure that Shaneka receives the best possible treatment and that all necessary arrangements are made for her journey to the United States. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in transforming Shaneka’s life.

Shaneka’s opportunity to receive surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital is a ray of hope in her life. By supporting this fundraiser, you become part of a community that believes in the power of compassion and giving. Your contribution will directly impact Shaneka’s future and enable her to walk again, fostering her independence and opening doors to a brighter tomorrow.

Please donate today and help us create a life-changing moment for Shaneka. Together, we can make a significant difference and bring hope to her and her family.
