Medical Costs and Family Support

From the Strongest woman I know, Javier's Mum, Her letter to you

  25 February 2015

Dear Friends ... Family ... From all of Chile and New Zealand

I'm grateful to each of you that came to our cause and adopted Javier M. Cifuentes ... and I know that you joined and rose to the cause of my beloved son ..

The road was uphill and showed each of you capable to be able to stay with us.

Each grain of help ... was a true treasure ...

Today I cry .... my heart ... my soul .... my guts ..... all my being .... to know that he has gone, my fighter... and he always kept faith and hope

There were months of great anguish and tension ... where I had to suppress my feelings ..... get the blessed herb that eased his discomfort and severe pain

I came across many obstacles .... so many doors closed .... so much bureaucracy ... abuse of power .... and thanks to many of you my perspective changed to windows of faith and hope

I tip my hat to you all .... GRACIAS..GRACIAS..GRACIAS ... INFINITE THANKS .....

We remembered when we went to La Colina and watched the movie “Life is Beautiful” with our friends and often I had to act as the father in that movie to Javier and invent a world full of joy and hope.

Hope that he believed as well and he thanked me for many times.

He always knew of the existence of all those who provided generous hands to help... and we appreciated the daily prayer you did...you .... Our Angels

We love you very much ... the Universe witnessed our great Love .... though had better plans for Javier ...

for nothing was easy ... there were months of 24/7 ... certainly ..

God was gracious and gave us time, precious time..

My beautiful son has only been gone for a few days … and he has left many traces already.. people have shared with us their memories... some very funny .... we have been receiving and sharing photos ... so many signs of affection and love .... and hearing the best memories of his life.

We have to find north and find new reasons for being. I have put my chest to the bullets and faced adversity with my best smile.. and when I thought I could not continue always one of you gave me the encouragement to continue

Thank you for your generous help ... it was invaluable to provide a little relief and comfort to my son Javier

How could I feel that GOD DOES NOT EXIST!!

We received many blessings and miracles..

Many know how much it cost to get medical treatment... not by pride or vanity ....

Miracles came to help in this moment ... and before the catastrophe I had to learn to receive...

We met the goodness of Reiki and the Power of Prayer, many people prayed for Javier and each showed their affection.

The Father of the Universe put many people in my way ... where each contributed with their knowledge and talents...

massages.. medicines ... reiki ... supplies ... recipes .. morphine ... ailments ... herbs ... contacts ... each with their own and the list goes on...

It seems as if it were yesterday... when we ran to the Western Union bank to deposit the money for Javier's return ticket to Chile... and they only received cash .... ufff .... anxious moments due to the time zone differences as the travel agency was closing in New Zealand and they needed the deposit before the ticket was lost.. though it was beautiful to see all our friends waiting to help with any required assistance ... confident that we could get all the required funds into cash for the ticket before it was lost .. and finally, finally we got there!!

Thanks to each of you who got involved in our cause. Love is ALWAYS stronger

We made the most of each moment with Javier. And now it's time to pause ... take a breath ... replenish our energies and lift ourselves back up.

I will be revitalized and ready to give you of me all that you need. Only I ask you for patience.

Life taught me a hard lesson. But it also taught me to discover the goodness of people and their souls.

There was a lot of tension ... repressed feelings ... when all I wanted was to express all the pain and anguish in my soul.

And as God lit my conscience to understand that in this world we could not find the medicine to cure Javier it became a difficult situation to not be able to do anything apart from let him leave ... ALL WILL BE WELL!!

Without a doubt my son ... you are in a better place ... your body has been restored ... God listened to your plight

Thank you to all ... also to those who put up obstacles ... definitely ... from them we grew ... and today my life and my family will never be the same as a year ago.
