✨ Big Update on Cruz’s Journey! ✨ 

It’s official- we’ve scheduled Cruz’s very first DMI intensive and paid the deposit to lock in the dates! 🙌🏻

We’ll be heading to North Carolina on 11/08 to give him time to rest and settle in before his first session on 11/10. 🥳 

During the intake process, we learned that Cruz will likely need a second intensive about six months after the first… around May 2026. In addition, we are prayerfully planning for a round of stem cell therapy in between. Because of this, we’ve raised our fundraising goal as we gather estimates for the stem cell treatment. 

Why this matters: pairing DMI with stem cell therapy has the potential to create powerful, synergistic results.  

🌱 Stem cells repair and regenerate — they may improve the brain and body’s ability to heal, reduce barriers like spasticity, and boost neuroplasticity.

🤸 DMI builds skills and strength — it teaches the body how to move, balance, and coordinate through structured, repetitive exercises.

✨ Together they work best — stem cells create the potential for progress, and DMI helps turn that potential into real, lasting functional gains.

The potential of what Cruz’s life could look like in just 1 year from now is bright, and we are so excited for him!! 

We cannot thank you enough for walking this journey with us. Your generosity, prayers, and encouragement have carried us through and given us hope again. Truly, we couldn’t do this without you! 

👉🏼 Next step: securing a place to stay in North Carolina. Please pray that we find the right fit—close to the therapy center and at a reasonable cost. 

 From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of Cruz’s story. 🤍🙏🏻
