EMERGENCY FINAL MOMENTS

Our story begins with leaving your heart in San Francisco, but not in the classical sense. He left San Francisco because of his family values to take care of my mother a brain cancer survivor with her new diagnosis of liver cancer. Serendipity and God brought us together under a horrific tragedy of a violent life changing experience to any woman. He is continues to be my hero. He has no family members on the same continent, oceans of tears apart . Myself, only child with an angelic mother and precious confidantes of faith. He had taken care of me when I was given another challenging fight of for life, liver cancer.. He is loved by his honorable father retired police commissioner, is a beloved father of two comical, confident, brilliant boys, baby brother with four adoring sisters, and a brand new uncle to his first niece Ghita. He is a rock to myself and to everyone those encounters living with integrity and an attitude of gratitude. A man of faith and extreme empathy for others in need. Now this Rock is having crashing waves hit him. We want to convey those generous to read this, we want to leave an impact to you. Each day truly is a gift from God, life is a journey that strengthens you beyond your limits.

Believe in yourself and your inner circle, you accomplish and endure just about anything. Have faith in God and the good people of this world. Be apart of those who pay it forward. This rock got hit with Squamous Cell Cancer Buccal Mucous Carcinoma in less than a few months. Endured a 22 hour surgery of exemplary team of surgeons kindhearted empathetic the epitome of Maxocillary Facial Reconstruction with a cutting precision in a sychronized collaboration. 22 hours, remove skin off thigh to graph into his cheek, skin graphed to generate healing on the secondary lag, full tracheotome. removal of all teeth accompanied by a metal plate, feeding tube through nose, he has not had solid food in fourth months and quite possibly another 4 months. He couldn't speak for a couple of months that seemed like years.

My rock taught me that I can be stronger, I had to be my best for my heart. One day at a time is how we pray and thank God for his blessings and healing. God has given me great peace and inner strength. We no longer have the great luxury of trained hospital staff administering foods, medication, dressing, and I have almost run myself on empty. He is my inspiration to not be afraid but I have the caveat of trusting in God to not take him from me. He has always been optimistic, had gainful employment and never once applied for unemployment or any social services.

We went from just building our dream home to moving into frugal apartment, things were no longer seen in color. The rainbow color we experience is that of surgeons and nursing staff. They were our sunshine in a dark sky, gave us hope and strength to keep fighting. We have exaserbated our funds and live very meekly. Our hearts go out to each and every patient and family when we enter the hospital, I pray over each person in despair because although I do not know what they are going through but I know their hearts are hurting in need of healing, a person to listen, or a simple smile or a hug.

I have postponed my treatment because accruing even more debt that we simply have no means to reimburse. His medical bills will far exceed several of hundred thousands of dollars. I have get his life to feel as normal as possible. Enjoy each day we have is a true blessing. My best analogy is the ceiling has switched to floor and the floor is the ceiling. We went from taking care of our families to needing help ourselves, feels heartbreaking, point of weakness and loss of dignity. We sincerely ask your support and prayers for us to keeping our strength and help with God's amazing grace pay the "Dream Team" for saving his life. How can you truly thank someone for saving someone's life is the million dollar question, but an attitude of gratitude, generosity, believing in yourself, and have unwaivering faith in goodness of others. Be kind to all because we all walk in a different pair of wounded shoes have mercy on those who have no shoes.
