Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
*Update 2/2/2023
We are over the moon to say Tiago has received his first round of stem cell treatment thanks to all of your amazing support and donations. Tiago and his parents have seen incredible results from this treatment, it has brought a tear to our eyes to see that Tiago is even able to smile now.
We are now supporting Tiagos family to raise a futher £40,000 for another round of treatment. This first round went so well we are so excited to see what can be achieved with another. *
We are raising money for our precious 6 years old boy Tiago.
At the age of eight weeks Tiago suffered of a traumatic hypoxia brain injury that change his life forever.
Tiago prognosis was very pessimistic, doctors give him only 1% of chance to survive. As a consequence our little warrior spend a total of 10 months in hospital. Tiago has Cerebral Palsy. For Tiago this means that he can't seat unsupported, he can't walk, he is fed by a PEG because he can't swallow. Tiago is visually impaired, he can see light but at this stage its difficult to understand how much he can really see.
The money raised for Tiago will be used for a Stem Cell treatment.
This treatment has proven to deliver positive impact, especially at young age like our Tiago. Some studies done on Cerebral Palsy Patient at Beike Biotech showed encouraging improvement on spasticity, trunk and Limb muscle strength, head control, range of movement, swallowing .
Tiago needs at least £36.000 for a twenty-three days treatment at Beike Biotech Better Being hospital which will include:
1)Full Physical Examination and blood test
2)MRI, ECG and EMG test
3) Eight umbilical cord-delivered stem cell injections
4) six Nerve Growth Factor injections
5)Physical Rehabilitation
6) Acupuncture
7)Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
8) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
9) Accommodation for Tiago mum and Dad
The additional money will be used to pay for flight, travel expenses. And go towards further treatment.
It would be a dream come true to give a chance to Tiago to complete this treatment. As a parents we will never stop to hope that one day Tiago will be able to walk, talk, eat and enjoy a better life style. we hope we can share this hope and success with you.
Thank you very much for your support on behalf of Tiago.
Silvia and George - Tiago's parents
