Family of Lexington Teen Gabriel Machado Seeks Treatment Support

Gabriel Machado, 15, who has cerebral palsy and is legally blind and non-verbal, was recently accepted for an Expanded Access Protocol at Duke University Medical Center for an umbilical cord blood infusion. The cord blood comes from the birth of his younger sister Maria in Brazil, where it has been stored for 16 years. The family is seeking to raise the $15,000 needed for the treatment through a GoFundMe account; scientists believe the infusion may improve brain connectivity and motor function.
