Ella Schafluetzel and her family are raising funds for a $15,000 stem cell treatment that could improve her mobility, with over $40,000 raised via GoFundMe.
- On Sunday, 12-year-old Ella Schafluetzel sold lemonade at The G.O.A.T. Barber House in Wentzville, Missouri, to raise money for stem cell treatments.
- Facing high treatment costs, Ella has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, with stem cell transfusions costing $15,000 for the procedure alone.
- After spinal and hip operations, Ella Schafluetzel said `I know people are supporting me even if I don't know them`, and her family says therapy could help her walk in three to six months.
- Ella's GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $40,000, and she will get her first stem cell transfusion next Tuesday at Duke University in North Carolina.
- Ashley Schafluetzel said the funds will cover additional transfusions, therapy and medical equipment to help Ella progress to canes and unaided walking.
