Gaia has cancer. We cannot fully express the pain and
utter helplessness we felt as parents when the doctor
uttered these life changing words. Our family is still
trying to come to terms with this news and is going
thru different stages of shock, sadness and
acceptance. Gaia has survived two major medical issues
in just two years. We are aware that this new battle
has no definite outcome. No one can predict how she
will react to treatment. But time and time again, she
has amazed even her foreign doctors. Her strong spirit
and sweet smile has always given us strength and
inspiration.
Throughout Gaia’s battles, we have been blessed to
have family, friends both old and new as well as kind
strangers who rallied behind us. In this season of
hope, our family is fervently asking for prayers.
Although she is being cared for by the best doctors,
we know that God is the ultimate healer. We pray that
God’s healing hands will guide the doctors and perform
another miracle. Gaia will undergo a chemotherapy
regimen that hopefully will arrest this disease. This
is just the first stage of the treatment. We will take
it one step at a time.
Due to the extensive medical bills we incurred for
previous monthly medical needs and recent procedures,
we were informed by the insurance company that we have
exhausted her insurance limit. Thus, we need to find
alternative sources of funding to continue her medical
care. Thus, we humbly approach you for any form of
support you could extend our darling baby. Gaia’s bank
account remains active for those who would like to
send financial support. For the donation options
including quick and easy-to-use via Paypal, you may go
to her website www.gaiabianca.com. We would also
appreciate referrals to support groups and
foundations.
Our family will forever be grateful to all of you who
continue to be part of Gaia’s life journey.
Sincerely,
Giorde & Ybeth
