Please Steemit, Help Me Save A Life.

in #blogg7 years ago (edited)

If you've ever wondered what it feels like to help save a life, now is your chance.

I think I have enough people here on steemit to vouch for me when I say that I like to help people, I have helped people here on steemit whom I have never met, whenever I can, in whatever way I can and I do it because it feels right.

Imagine then please, what lengths I would go to, to help someone very special in my life, someone who has a huge place in my families heart.

Colette Joan Nolen.

Colette is a very special soul, when she smiles the world smiles with her, she has an Irish charm combined with a heart of gold, her warm glowing energy radiates all around her and infects anyone lucky enough to be in her presence.

We first met Colette and her Husband Tim 3 years ago whilst on our travels around Europe, Just like us and our close friends Ash & Sooze, Tim & Colette lived in a tinyhouse and were looking for land to grow their own food, after many late nights discussing our dreams around a camp fire in England all 3 families decided we would set off together on a quest to find the right land upon which we would build an eco-community.

Off we went to Spain.

After 2 miscarriages and many years of trying Tim & Colette were 6 months pregnant and it looked as though this time God would bless them both with a child, on a hot summers day in the South of Spain they gave birth to a beautiful Boy called Zebedee in their tinyhouse, just as planned.

Just when you thought life could not get any better for this beautiful Family the unthinkable happened, within 2 months of having their dream come true Colette would be diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, although this was a shock for everyone, for some reason it felt like just another hurdle that we knew Colette would clear with ease, I had no doubt in my mind that our Irish Angel would overpower this cancer with her smile alone.

After months of aggressive treatment, the hospital in England said they could do no more and that Colette should go home and spend the precious time she had left with her family, by now cancer had taken hold and had spread to her bones and liver.

Most people would at this point accept fate and roll over but not Colette, with her smile and her ever glowing positivity she turned to social media and shared her heart with the world, within no time she had raised enough money to go to Turkey and get a new treatment, This combined with her love for life gave immediate results.

She is succeeding with the cancer but is now losing her battle with finances, as the money is going down the stress is rising, cancer feeds on stress and for the first time I see that my help is needed.

I have now taken it upon myself with the blessing from Colette to relieve her from some of this stress and I am now helping with the financial battle, I truly believe by relieving her from the stress she can concentrate all her energy on overcoming this cancer in her own special way, Colette, is so positive she has chosen to see this cancer as a gift instead of a burden and is going to love it, instead of fighting it.

4 months ago me, @markwhittam and my family found steemit, a place where we could finally tell the world of our transformation from being debt slaves to realizing true freedom, this caring and sharing community has given us so much in the way of encouragement, with your feedback you have strengthened our belief that we are on the right track, you have helped us in so many ways which is why I often give back in the way of donations and support.

It hit me today, that with the money I have in the bank combined with the generosity I have witnessed in this community I believe together we can save a life, a life that my family and this world can not afford to lose.

Please help in any way you can, Please give your upvotes and resteems, anyone who is in a posission to give more than upvotes and resteems please go to Colettes fundraiser page and I will give all the money we have saved for our land, without this women our eco-community will lose its heart, I know I can make back the money again to buy land but if we lose Colette then we lose our dream, Tim and Zebedee lose their rock and world loses its spark.

Anyone who has any doubt about who I am then just go to the bottom of my blog and work your way up, me and my family have shared our lives and plans with this wonderful community and I'm sure you will find the answers to any questions you have about our motives. I have not asked her but I am sure @canadian-coconut who has followed and supported us from day one will confirm we are the real deal.

Feel free to go directly to COLETTES FUNDRAISER and YOUTUBE and give your support in anyway you can, even if its just a comment, I know from personal experience how uplifting your wonderful comments are, and hopefully Colette will become a steemian after feeling the love from you all. Together we can make this a happy ending.

Every single penny and SP raised from upvotes will go directly to Colette.

Colettes Latest poem.

As soon as I open my eyes
These fears arise
Full of mean lies
It's no surprise
I try to ignore them
I try to smile
But I can't
Unable to disguise
These money worries
They assault me in sharp flurries
What, why, who, how
How can I do this
I sit up
Write lists after lists
With ideas and goals
Ways to sell my soul
To stay alive
To prevent my own demise
To continue to rise from the dead
And these thoughts in my head
Scare me today
I have to find a way
To pay
It's like a cruel cosmic joke
That's not funny
My life depends on me making money
I need more cancer treatment
It's working
It should be so simple
Coming back to life
But it's not.

What a beautiful, sharp, heartfelt and painful poem! I can feel the hurt, the confusion, the anger, the fear, and the determination of Colette so strongly through her writing.

I'm glad they got their little one, Zebedee and that Colette is a positive fighter. And it is fantastic news that the hospital in Turkey is able to treat her. Colette does need to live on, for her little son, her husband, her friends, her community and for whatever she can further accomplish in life.

Your sincerity and wishes for her recovery are obvious. One only needs to look at the title of this post to understand this. It must be highly comforting for Tim and Colette that they have such a wonderful friend like you looking out for them.

I've upvoted and resteemed. But I want to help more. I understand only too well what it is like fighting with the big C, having gone through the drill myself a few months ago... You know that I don't make much yet. But, all the posts and SBD earnings I make for a week starting today, I will dedicate to Colette and her family. I know it might not amount to much, but I hope the thought helps. And it will undoubtedly come with my love and my very best wishes for a fellow warrior and Mom plastered on it, to cushion Colette as she fights this all important battle. May she recover completely with no debts and lead a happy, long and fulfilled life with her family, friends and eco-community.

Thank you so much @sandzat, I will never forget this. I love this place so much, you people are amazing

Thank you @sandzat for introducing me to this post. I will upvote and resteem this worthy cause. Much of my family on my mother's side is no stranger to cancer. God bless!

Truly a sad story. God bless!

Thank you very much for your donation @peter-parker

Bless.

Yes, I can vouch for you @markwhittam !
I have been following your journey here and it looks very genuine and unique.

I am so sorry for your friend's financial and health condition. I hope that she gets all the help that she needs.
You obviously have a HUGE caring heart.

Thank you so very much @canadian-coconut I have been up all night crying putting this together. After I read her poem I knew I had to do something. This woman is very special and we can't lose her.
Thank you for your support I will never forget this.

Thanks for the vote of support for a noble cause by an honorable family!

Thank you @quinneaker !
It is my pleasure.

You have helped, supported and protected many. I am grateful you are here with us on Steemit!

And this is why the steemit community has become so dear to me in such a short time. You guys have me in tears. The people here are awesome.

Read: 'The Mucus-less Diet for optimal health' by Dr. Arnold Ehret written in 1922.
This is no joke Mark. I am serious. Do it.
We have been on 'foods' that kill us.

Agree wholeheartedly. We have to take a look at what we are putting into our bodies. We live in a very toxic world.

you are right.. we use his diet in our lives ... He was mysteriously killed..hmmm .. I also recommend people read the book, if nothing else to use it to get back on track. Nice to meet a like mind. :) upvoted your comment @thedanzel

Thanks. i am not all the way there but I am making my way towards it. I have been strict vegan, low fat, without oils or refined sugars for three years now. And my health had improved like nothing before. 60/70% raw. I want to go totally mucus-less now but it is very hard. I am on strict fruits for 7 days now and the cravings at the moment for some cooked food is.... ENORMOUS.. haha. Well... I am making towards better health and it is not an easy one by all means.

I will my friend, with the rise in cases like this its obvious depopulation is in full swing.

@markwhittam you truly are a beautiful soul! The world needs more like you.

I will donate all I can, even a few £'s to help this wonderful lady out. No one deserves to suffer. Hopefully you can get ger enough funds to keep the treatment going long enough for her light to remain.

Has Colette tried supplimenting with CBD oil? That could assist with her treatment as well as mitigating any suffering/pain.

Hey @markwhittam! I agree with @alioops. CBD oil can work wonders. Not sure what treatments she is doing, but you might google search the Sacred Plant. Also, high dose vitamin C also helps beat/ cure cancer. You just have to find someone to administer it. The truth about cancer is another online resource.

Upvoted and resteemed! I will do what I can.

There are many protocols, many oils, and many supplements for different types and different stages of cancer. One should not start off any of these without getting all the facts first. And then go for the purest of the materials, and the exact therapeutic doses and watch out for allergic reactions or side effects. Also, it looks like the Turkish hospital treatment is working. Maybe it is a good idea to be informed about everything, but to follow for now whatever is working, especially when in an immuno-compromised state. https://www.cancertutor.com/ is one excellent site with a lot of information.

Yes. Definitely agree with you.

Thank you very much @alioops that is very kind of you, every little helps.
I don't think the treatment permits cbd use, but I will ask her, I have a friend who makes cbd oil and i am very aware of its powers to heal.
You are a lovely genuine person and I enjoy reading your posts comments :)

I also agree that CBD's have proven to be far more effective than western medicine in dealing with healing from cancer. There is PLENTY of proof of this.

Thank you for sharing such post to us on steemit.It is really meaningful for me to help people on steemit.I think steemit is a really great community and once someone got some problems, they will be able to help and support.I hope that you will get well soon and I would to encourage people to aup

Thank you so very much @benjojo I will guarantee she gets every penny and then some. I am blown away by how beautiful this is and how amazing you are. Thank you thank you thank you :)

You are welcome. Big love.

This is a very touching post and very poignant poem and situation. I wish you the best. Very sincerely.

Thank you @teamsteem I feel your sincerity and I appreciate it very much.

Wow another sign of Steemits great generosity. You are obviously in the right place. SO profound to see this post and to also see Steemits response in such little time. Miracles are real.
I would also like to add that there are many masters of health out there, books, programs, diets, natural medicines etc that have a MUCH higher success rate with almost all cancers and that also are much cheaper and safer.
I do hope that natural medacine is being explored atleast. Have you checked out Dr Gerson? Or Moringa? Or h2o2? Or alkaline water? all very helpful in the difficult battle with cancer.
Blessings to you and those you love~*~

Thank you @quinneaker
You are right steemit is such a wonderful place filled with caring people.
We have received a lot of comments with many different alternatives which I believe could be of some real benefit. I have been watching a Dr Max Gerson documentary today as recommended by another steemian.

Wow what can I say? Gerson was an amazing man who if it wasn't for greedy pharmaceutical companies silencing any form of natural healing then this would be common knowledge to all humans and maybe the world would be a different place.

Thank you for your support and recommendations I can tell it comes from your heart.
Bless.

Yes the world would be a VERY different place and his story is not the only one. I am well aware of MANY such great stories and healing possibilities. I even KNOW people in these areas of life, doctors, naturopaths , patients who have died patients who has lived.
I know ur in a tough place and yes the world is really messed up in many ways. However the possibility exists for you and your family. You don't have to let the sick ways of the world be your ways.
I had to share because I atleast must make it known. What you or anyone else does is up to you and your choice.
I wish you the best regardless~
Blessings~*~

Thank you @quinneaker I really am taking it all in, I have been researching the methods you have mentioned and I must say they all seem very beneficial, I looked up h2o2 and I am going to order it for Louise and I, I will even recommend it to Colette. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with me and everyone else who has read these comments. Oh yeah when I Googled food grade hydrogen peroxide without scrolling down I saw you in your YouTube video. :)

So great to hear!
I truly wish you her and everyone holistic health. Nature does it best and we just need to realize the natural ways of thrival.
Did you check out this website on h2o2 colloidal silver and more?
