Help Tony Raise Funds for Stem Cell Treatment
Hi, I'm Tony,
And I desperately need your
help. Let me tell you my story. Please, take just a minute to read it.
About a year and a half ago I was on
the way to visit my Aunt Sue across town. Aunt Sue was dying from cancer
and I was going to meet my mother there. I was 20 at the time; was
unemployed and my car had broken down causing me to have to catch a ride and thus,
running late. Before I could get there my mother called me to tell me
that my Aunt was weak, tired and had fallen off to sleep. She asked where
I was and when I told her she said she would meet me at a restaurant down the
street to give me a few bucks to get something to eat and for transportation to
look for a job.
When I arrived at the restaurant and
was entering the door I was shot 5 times in the back by an unknown
assailant. The police and ambulance were called and my mother, who was
inside already, came out and held my head in her lap until the ambulance
arrived. There were no witnesses and to this day no one knows who the
assailant or what his agenda was. The paramedics determined that I needed
to be medivaced and they called for a helicopter
which took me from Lancaster, SC to Charlotte, NC. The doctors there
determined that one of the bullets hit me in the face; one in the arm, and the
others in the back with one severing my spinal cord in the lower back thereby
paralyzing me; making me a paraplegic for life.
My Aunt Sue talked with me on the
phone when I first arrived at the Charlotte hospital and told me how sorry she
was that she did not get to see me and that this had happen. I told her
what the doctors had said about my condition. She said to keep my chin up
and that she was going to pray for me. I was thinking to myself at the
time that I really needed to be praying for her. Then she proceeded to
tell me about stem cell research and all of the wonderful things it could
do. She said she had seen testimony where it had cured multiple
sclerosis, Lupus, severe burns, arthritis, cancer and in particular, spinal
cord injuries. She had just come home to die after living in Washington, DC for
the last 50 years or so and said she had read a lot on the subject and
consulted with some doctors in that area. She said she didn't have the
money to pursue the stem cell cure and now it was too late for her but made me
promise her that I would pursue it even if it took a lifetime. I promised
her that I would. She died a couple of days later and I felt badly that
because I was still recovering in the hospital, I was unable to attend her
funeral.
However, a promise is a promise and
I not only need to be able to do this for her, I need to be able to do it for
myself. I want to be able to walk again and it is the only hope I
have. I have spoken with a couple of doctors from different stem cell
medical centers; In particular, I have spoken with doctors from the Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama and been examined by a renown
doctor in the Washington, DC area who indicated that it is the only hope I have
of walking again. As such, I have also included different stem cell
websites for your perusal to give you a better understanding as to where they
are with the technology and how they can help me and others with disabilities
and/or disorders. The Stem Cell Institute has informed me that I would
need about $30,000 for treatment at their center. I
have no funds and no way of obtaining them except by the help of you and others
who can feel my pain and suffering. That's why I need your help. Whether
you can contribute $200,
$100, $20 or $10, any
amount would be appreciated. It would also be appreciated if you would
ask your friends, relatives, neighbors and church members to read this and
contribute if they would. Once I start receiving help from all of the
good folks out there I will keep everyone apprised of the amount of funds
raised by an indicator here on this website.
You can contribute below using
PAYPAL (when it is set up) or you may make out your check or money order to "Help Tony Singleton" and mail it
right away to P.O. Box 1765, Clinton, MD 20735-1765. Again thank you and God bless you!
