Hi my name is Kevin Spain. We are asking for help in this transition of life after getting diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have painted for my entire life. After being homeless at 15 I used my abilities to work as hard as I could and got an apartment at 19. At 23 I met my wife. We now have two children, 8 and 2 years old. We were able to buy a house when I was 27. I then was diagnosed with severe shingles in the stress of getting and remodeling a house that most likely would have torn down. Fast forward a few years later I experienced a week long stroke and have 40 lesions scattered throughout my brain. Causing various loses of physical functions. We worked very hard to get to where we are for our family and am hoping that we may keep it with the assistance of others.

I have recently learned that there is a 3 day treatment in Illinois that has a very high success rate for the type of MS that I have. The treatment has shown to be much more beneficial for most in similar situations. I have done research and read testimonials supporting this statement. https://trustemcell.com/ if you want to see for yourself what I have learned. Perhaps you know someone who also has MS that would be benefit from this treatment. I know what it feels like to have no hope, no answers, no choices and can only rely on substandard treatments for MS that insurance approves.  It is unfortunate that the insurance companies do not support this treatment. The current treatment my doctor has prescribed for me, has not reduced my lesions nor have I shown any improvement. All the side effects this medicine proclaims;, I seem to be the target of all of them.

The Cost is $15,000; I know, it’s a lot, but how can one put a price tag on the quality of life or for me to be able to go back to work to provide for my family and be able to keep our home? My wife home schools our children and not only does she care for them, she now has to help care for me as well. We need her at home so for her to go get a job, is not an option. Public school is not a viable option as my immune system is extremely poor. We pray every day. I am a man of God and we have faith that He will provide. 

We are asking for $20K to cover the medical treatment, food & lodging for a week and to have some money to pay the bills that have accrued. She will be staying at home with our two small children. I do have a friend willing to travel with me and stay with me as I go through the treatments. I am not asking for a hand out, I am hoping to raise funds so I can get better, quickly. Time is of the essence as MS can be a progressive disease, there is never a guaranty when and if it goes into remission nor how long the remission will last or even worse; how strong the disease will hit when it does return.

I am young and want to be here to see my children grow-up, to know my grandchildren, to live a full and happy life with my incredible wife, who has been standing by me like a rock despite how much I know she worries. I am selling all of my painting equipment and now have my work truck up for sale. We are doing everything we can to raise a great deal of money in a very short time, but we can’t do it alone. Friends and family members have stepped up to the plate to help with the medical bills we dealt with in 2024 when we were trying to find out what was wrong with me, we feel blessed by their generosity. I do have health insurance now which has been a life saver but we all know they prefer profitable "treatments" over possible "cures".

I need to get well again so we chose this venue to tell our story. To put our personal lives out there for all to read. We appreciate whatever you can give even if it is just a prayer. I never thought I would be in this situation and I do not know God’s plan for me, but I believe He is with us and with that, I have inner peace and comfort.
