Love Letter From A One Year Old

Hi! My name is Lysander Cabrera. I was born on July 4, 2009 with congenital heart disease - Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). In layman's terms, I have what you could call "holes in my heart."

The doctors told my Daddy and Mommy that I need an open heart surgery to repair my heart. The total cost of this surgery, plus doctor's fees, medications and other related bills amounts to ONE MILLION PESOS. (That's a lot of money!)

I'm writing to ask if YOU can HELP us raise this amount. My family is not rich. Daddy and Mommy are trying very hard to earn enough for my monthly medical needs and so we need all the help we can get.


I hope and pray that God will bless you so that you can be a blessing to other people, especially babies like me. If you feel that you are able to help us, please deposit your donations to my Mommy's account:


Liwayway G. Cabrera
Account No. 0920258190
Banco De Oro
Malolos Congreso Branch (Bulacan)  

Once you've deposited the amount, please e-mail welovelysander@gmail.com the details of your donation and amount given so we can acknowledge your contributions. 

Thank you so much and may God bless you abundantly for your kindness!

Love and prayers,
Baby Lysander Cabrera

P.S. If you want to contact my Mommy or have any questions for her about me, you can also e-mail her at liwaywaycabrera@yahoo.com. Mommy's cousin Teacher Mama Tina is in charge of this blog. You can also contact her at kristina.s.rodriguez@gmail.com. Maraming salamat po!

Hi, I am Lore's friend and former office mate. I am organizing an online auction and donating the proceeds for Lysander. A few minutes after I published my blog entry, I got a few inquiries on how they can donate. I directed them to this site for the account details. God is really good! I will continuously pray for Lysander's recovery :)

Novena Prayer for Healing
(pray for 9 consecutive days; different intention every day; but especially effective August 15-23)

Prayer for Healing:

God, like a watchful Shepherd, You care for us. You make the earth yield healing herbs and medicines and give us the knowledge to learn their power. Your creative love continues through the healing hands of doctors, pharmacists, and nurses, and the healing counsel of priests, ministers, and friends.

Bless me, and all who suffer. Our afflictions become a cross that burdens us with fear and uncertainty. Cast out our fear and revive our faith. Give us strength that we may be filled with hope. Let the Holy Spirit come to our aid that we might live each day in the joy for which You fashioned us.

I pray for healing in body, soul, and spirit that I may be Your servant in this world and enjoy the fullness of Your Presence in the life to come. I make this prayer humbly, knowing I cannot restrict or direct Your saving grace. I give joyful thanks for Your compassion wherever I may find it.

I ask all this in the Name of the Lord Jesus Who intercedes before You on my behalf. Amen.

Novena Intentions:

Day 1 (Aug 15): That all who are sick may experience the healing touch of the Lord Jesus.

Day 2 (Aug 16): That all who are ill among my family and friends may be restored to health in mind, body, and spirit.

Day 3 (Aug 17): That all who suffer from mental disease may receive compassionate treatment.

Day 4 (Aug 18): That all the homebound and bedridden may have Christ as their consolation.

Day 5 (Aug 19): That all who suffer from diseases that devastate the body may be granted strength and hope.

Day 6 (Aug 20): That all with disabling handicaps may be blessed with forbearance.

Day 7 (Aug 21): That all doctors, nurses, and other caregivers may be well in body and spirit.

Day 8 (Aug 22): That our lawmakers will pass laws to ensure that proper, dignified medical care is available for all who are in need, especially the poor and the elderly.

Day 9 (Aug 23): That God might look with favor on my special intentions.

Loving and tender God, touch my heart with hope. Touch my mind with clarity; touch my soul with peace. And, touch my body with the warmth of Your healing Presence. Grant me courage to face the future, insight to understand life's trials, wisdom to discern how I can touch the lives of others, and the comfort of persons who care about me as I reach for Your loving Hands. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
