Celeste

My brother-in-law's oldest sister has been battling MS for years. Unfortunately no treatments have been able to help her beat this disease, but she never gives up! Her positive attitude is so inspiring! They've recently heard of a new treatment that is having very promising results, however it is incredibly expensive. After years of treatment, they are asking for help financially. Please take a second to read the attached paragraph. You can also see a video of Celeste on facebook.com/celesteoldhamfund. If you can donate in any form, even just a few dollars, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Celeste Paxman Oldham was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 19. A few months later her disease went into remission, as is common with most M.S. victims, but relapsed at age 24 shortly after her marriage to Matt Oldham. This time the M.S. attack was severe and unrelenting. Despite following the treatment plans prescribed by her doctors and neurologists, it quickly left her in a wheelchair and disabled to the point of being unable to care for herself. With the help of family and friends Celeste has continued to battle her disease. She has participated in numerous traditional and alternative treatment programs over the years but her recovery has been limited. Celeste is now 34 years old, and though her condition is slowly worsening her positive attitude is unwavering. Armed with a smile she continues to hope for the best. A new promising treatment has been found that just might be what she’s been searching for. She just needs your help. No donation is too small or insignificant. A little help from a lot of people like you is all it will take for Celeste to receive this new treatment. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
