 You’re right, life does change in an instant only and in this case... it’s negative.
</div>
<div>
 I’d like to tell you about my friend Demi. I’ve worked with her for 14 years in a nearby hospital. She’s a very hard worker. She loves her kids and she loves her husband. Recently, her husband was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and what that brought to her family is the tragedy of having the man you love hospitalized on several occasions and is now 24/7 care as he is bedridden for the rest of his life. Unless he can get a liver transplant. Unfortunately, that list is long and his diagnosis and its effects might not be able to wait. be a short time. He is fading quicker than they had hoped for. Demi and her husband were already struggling.
</div>
<div>
 They have six beautiful children and that’s a handful already.. add to that financial pressures of 2026 and as you can guess it has been hard to make ends meet, in all areas. I’ve enclosed a picture of their beautiful family. The children are young, as you can see. The children don’t understand the severity of daddy being sick , but they do know they have had to move, they know that mommy cries a lot, and they know that daddy can’t play with them anymore, he’s too weak. I’m appealing to your kind hearts to donate money to this family as they struggle to try to make things the best they can with the limited time they have left. Demi‘s working 60 hours a week right now , relatives are watching the children so she can, but her job does not bring in the money that is needed to support the family. One income in San Diego doesn’t cut it.
</div>
<div>
 I can hardly grasp the impact of losing the support, on all arenas, of your loved one in life, when you’re barely getting started. I hope you can feel a tug at your heart.
</div>
<div>
 I hope this strikes you as it struck me and pray that everyone that reads this will be highly motivated to send in whatever you can to help this family. And if you can't help please spread the word. Thank you ahead of time for your compassion and generosity.
</div>
<div>
 Things are very dire, and Demi’s husband is declining fast.
</div>
<div>
 Our prays, and hopefully your financial support, are with my friend’s sweet family.

Help Demi’s Family as They Face This Crisis

<div><strong>Stacey Farley, a 30-year Sharp employee and incredible Mary Birch Advanced Life Support NICU Nurse of 26 years, faces one of life’s biggest challenges.</strong> She was recently given the devastating diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease that will eventually leave Stacey too weak to talk, move, and even breathe. There is no cure for ALS, and after watching her biological mother pass away from ALS, Stacey knows all too well how difficult this next chapter in her life will be.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If anyone can meet this kind of adversity with positivity and strength, it’s Stacey. Despite an average life span of 2-5 years after the onset of symptoms, Stacey has big plans to focus on doing whatever she can to preserve her body’s ability to function and experience life to its fullest with her closest family and friends, especially her 16-year-old daughter Kara.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Stacey has had to abruptly end her 32-year nursing career to focus on her health. While we may no longer see Stacey working alongside us, saving babies, we hope to let her know how deeply we care about her. <strong>Our goal is to make the time Stacey has the easiest and best it can be through financial support.</strong>

From Saving Lives to Fighting for Hers: Help Nurse with ALS

<div>This is my mom’s dog, Sarah. We got her not even 3 months ago, and she’s not even a year old. She was used for breeding in her last family, and when we received her, she was diagnosed with a liver shunt.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My mom has always done everything she can for us and always puts us first, but now we would like to give back to her. With Christmas around the corner, we know she can’t afford both presents and the surgery for her dog. <strong>My mom loves this dog dearly, and I cannot stand to see her lose her best friend.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Sarah is getting weaker by the day, and we really need help.</strong> For Christmas, we want to try to help out as much with the cost as we can. Please don’t let Sarah fly.

</div>

Save my moms best friend

<div>“A couple of days before Devens graduation, Demi suffered migraines then started having seizures on Memorial Day. With 3 failed spinal taps and switching medication due to side effects, we opted to get a second opinion. We flew out to the Philippines requesting further testing and were told that she wasn’t on the right meds and switched again. Her MRI and recently received lab results show lesions in her brain that affect her motor skills. <strong>The girls and I will be flying to California to do further testing while also hoping to start the right treatments that she needs to recover.</strong> She cries every day, struggling with daily tasks and speech, saying she just wants to be back to her usual self. Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you for everyone’s prayers and concerns”. -Leanne

</div>
<div>My name is Danica, Demi’s Aunt and Leanne’s younger sister. Demi is 9 years old, a tough Jiu Jitsu competitor, the best sister, &amp; mommies helper. Shes daddy’s little girl, a sweet independent, fun, responsible young lady who is also Mila &amp; grandmas best friend. In a blink of an eye with no explanation our sweet girl has lost many skills and characteristics that she use to have due to what we know now- lesions in her brain. She continues to have seizures, changes with her emotional behavior, trouble with her coordination/gross motor skills, &amp; a delay in speech causing her to get frustrated. This makes it difficult for her to complete simple tasks. She’s often tired and is unable to enjoy the things that she use to. Photosensitivity leads to tired eyes and unbearable migraines.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family is very grateful for the love and support they’ve been receiving as it has given them more hope and faith during this trying time. It has been a quiet battle these past 2 months fighting for Demi’s recovery and they still have a long road ahead. Many of you have reached out to the family asking how they can contribute to Demi’s recovery. If you know the Baisas, you know that they are the most hardworking, generous, selfless people you’ll ever meet. They’ve helped many families during the most difficult times of their lives without hesitation or return. <strong>Right now they’re facing unexpected medical expenses in Guam, the Philippines, and soon to be California for procedures that insurance is unable to cover.</strong> Leanne &amp; Dannie are business owners and parents of 4 kids. A recent high school graduate and 3 little ones preparing for the upcoming school year in August. The family is having to sacrifice and separate to maintain their business on Guam while they find an exact diagnosis and right medical treatment for Demi. The effects of her condition are devastating to the family, however, we have high hopes that with the right diagnosis, treatment, and therapy, she can recover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although prayers are all they ask for, we are hoping that we can help ease the financial burden and resultant stress that the family is facing through this journey.
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you all in advance. I will be sharing Demi’s journey here ❤️
