We thank you for your generosity, every dollar helps. 

 

Our friend, Lyannette (Leia) Sanchez, has been battling chronic pain since May of 2020. Leia wakes up every day in pain, mostly nerve and muscle pain throughout her body. Some days she can hardly walk. Since the start of the issue, she has continued to develop new, treatment-resistant symptoms.

Traditional pain medications do not help.  One of the recent symptoms is tinnitus; with loud ringing in her ears it can be nearly impossible for her to sleep, for days at a time. She also has been noticing brain fog and memory deterioration.

Almost her entire existence is about survival and getting through the day.

In the last 16 months, she has undergone multiple surgeries and examinations, been to countless medical specialists, sought non-western treatments, tried every diet and nutritional supplement that was recommended and still does not have an answer as to what is wrong with her and how to treat her symptoms.

 

A recent MRI revealed that Leia has a brain lesion, which doctors do not yet know the cause of or treatment for.

 

If you spent any amount of time with Leia prior to May 2020, you know her as an energetic, funny, kind woman, full of life and sweet energy, making everyone around her smile and laugh. She has a heart of gold. Since her medical issues started, Leia is not this woman anymore. She is in constant pain. 

 

Leia has health insurance, yet unfortunately as most of us know, health insurance does not cover many medical expenses. Specialists do not agree on Leia’s diagnoses, which her insurance company uses as a reason to not cover the costs of many necessary doctors’ visits, treatments, and procedures. For example, they did not cover the cost of her MRI. 

Leia has spent thousands and thousands of dollars seeking help. She has a job and is able to work from home. 

 

An opportunity has been presented for Leia to attend a functional medicine treatment facility in Mexico called Sanoviv. Sanoviv “combines cutting-edge diagnostics, nutrition, detoxification and medical treatments.”

 

We have faith in Sanoviv because we personally know people who have undergone treatments at this clinic and have recovered from rare and chronic medical conditions. We have seen cancer be reversed and a large malignant brain tumor shrink in size. We have a friend who could not walk nor talk--at Sanoviv, his ability to both walk and talk was restored. Similar to Leia, this friend did not have a straightforward medical diagnosis. 

The integrative medical professionals at Sanoviv are experts in treating complex chronic and degenerative diseases, even those for which conventional medicine has been unable to treat.

 

At Sanoviv, Leia can complete a series of diagnostic tests, even those that are not available in the U.S. The team will design and implement an individualized treatment program to heal her. At the completion of the program, she will be given a home treatment plan to continue the healing journey in her everyday life at home.

 

Please help us raise the funds for Leia to seek this treatment. Let's give Leia a real chance at renewal, a chance to live with freedom from chronic, debilitating pain. Let's watch Leia thrive again as the sweet, charismatic, fun-loving woman she is. We have hope. Any amount helps. Thank you!
