Vanessa's Perseverance

At 3 years old Vanessa was diagnosed with a degenerative disease called Niemann-Pick type C, which caused a significant decline in her health. She lost the ability to walk, stand, talk, or eat. She had no control of her movements, and experienced muscle spasms which caused her great pain. This page was originally posted to help get a van to be able to transport my sister more comfortably to her appointments, as well as finance medications that were not covered by insurance. Sadly, on April 7th, 2019 at 4:50 pm my little sister - only 16 years old - passed away in the arms of our parents and in front of us, her siblings. Even though it hurts us to see her leave, we are glad that she is no longer suffering. My sister brought great joy and love to everyone she was surrounded with. Funerals are very expensive and my family does not have much to give my sister the proper burial she deserves. We would really appreciate any donations to help give my little sister a well deserved funeral.

A los 3 años Vanessa fue diagnosticada con una enfermedad degenerativa llamada Nieman-Pick tipo C, la cual causó un decline significante en su salud. Ella perdió la habilidad de caminar, sostenerse, hablar, y comer. Ella no tenía control de sus movimientos y sufría de espasmos musculares que le causaban un gran dolor. Está página fue creada originalmente para solicitar ayuda para comprar un van para transportar a mi hermana cómodamente a sus citas médicas y también para  financiar medicamentos que no eran cubiertos por su seguro médico. Tristemente, el 7 de abril del 2019 a las 4:50 pm mi hermanita - de solo 16 años - falleció en los brazos de nuestros padres y enfrente de mi y mis hermanos. Aunque nos duele verla irse, estamos contentos de que ya no este sufriendo. Mi hermana daba felicidad y amor a cada persona que se rodeaba de ella. Funerales son muy costosos y mi familia no tiene mucho para darle a mi hermana el funeral apropiado que ella merece. Realmente apreciamos cualquier donación que usted pueda dar para así darle a mi hermanita el funeral que bien se merece. Gracias.
