"EVERY BREATH IS A SECOND CHANCE"

"I was cast upon You from birth.  From my mother's womb, You have been my God.  Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help."
-Psalm 22:10-11

A wonderful wife and an exemplerary mother/grandmother, my mother Sonia has been our family's saving grace.

Thirty years ago, she was given the choice to abort me due to medical complications.  She decided against it and because of her, I live.  She's my legacy.  I owe her my life.

Now it is our turn to help her in her most difficult times.  In August 2013, my mom was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer (stage 3).  She's been battling this horrible disease for the past 3 years, undergoing surgeries and chemotherapy.  Unfortunately, her cancer is very aggressive and resisted all the treatments that traditional medicine was able to give her.

In the last three months, she's been living in the hospital, growing weaker and with no opportunity to receive chemotherapy.  During this time, her cancer has reached its last stage and now spread to her abdomen, causing her difficulties to nourish her body.  After a couple of surgeries, one that could have potentially ended her life, my mother is still standing strong-- a warrior. 

We came across a new and alternative treatment by Dr. Rozenberg that is able to save her.  Her insurance is very limited and will not cover the treatment.  My father hasn't been able to work because he's been by her side all this time.  Our finances are very limited which has led us here.

We need help.  This is our last chance to help her.

Here's how you can help:

1) Pray.  As devout Christians, we believe in miracles and we believe our God hears our prayers.  Even in times of troubles, we've seen Him at work. (Romans 8:28)

2) Please consider donating; ANY contribution is appreciated. 

3) SHARE. SHARE. SHARE!!
#SaveSonia

We hope to start treatment ASAP as she doesn't have much time.
