Breysi’s struggle to live..

Many of you know or have heard of sweet Breysi, she is in our sponsorship program. She is 10 years old and in the 4th grade. For the past couple years her health has deteriorated. She was has been diagnosed with Lupus and her immune system struggles daily along with problems with her bones, sores and many other things in her body.

Breysi is in and out of the hospital weekly, but they refuse to admit her until she is in critical condition, then they send her home. She returns home, with lots of prescriptions that sometimes work and sometimes do not. But can cost up to $40 a day! This is impossible when their families income is about $250 a month.  So Breysi doesn’t take all her medication, has side effects, bleeding from the mouth, nose, her stomach and face swell and more. All while she has these problems Breysi still does her best to attend school or do her school work at home, she says she doesn’t want to miss the chance to study! What a heart she has, even in her illness I can see her joy. But her joy and hope seem to be fading a little.

Just this week Breysi said maybe it is better if she just died, then there would be food for her family and her siblings. She said, everyone is suffering just so she can get better and it is just not happening. How sad that a 10 year old is having to worry about their own fate and their families as well. This is just not the way a child or anyone should have to live.

Please pray for Breysi and for her family and for the right doctors, the correct medicine and relief.
