Show Some Love. Share The Cause. Save A Life.

Dear friends and family,


It is NEVER an easy thing to watch a child suffer, especially from birth. Nelson and Liway Cabrera, though both come from families that can hardly be called "middle class", have been spending thousands of pesos to keep their firstborn and only child, Lysander, alive and comfortable despite having been born with holes in his heart. By God's grace and the generosity of family members and friends, they have been making ends meet, although many times, it has been a difficult struggle.


With the recent developments in Lysander's condition that call for open heart surgery, Nelson and Liway have a bigger financial challenge to meet, specifically around 475,000 pesos for the operation costs alone (this amount DOES NOT include the doctor's fees and medications, which could make the TOTAL expenses to be incurred amount to around 1 MILLION PESOS). This is why the "We Love Lysander" Fundraising Campaign was born.


We invite you to show some love to Lysander in a concrete way by doing the following:


1. Share your blessings. Show some love. Make a donation to the "We Love Lysander" Fund. If you have P1,000 or P10,000 to share, please join our cause. Even a little will go a long way, if given with great love.


You can deposit your donations to:
Liwayway G. Cabrera
Account No. 0920258190
Banco De Oro
Malolos Congreso Branch (Bulacan)  

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

2. Share the cause. Feel free to tell your friends, family members, officemates and other people you know about Lysander's plea. Use your Facebook, Friendster, Multiply, Twitter and other social media sites to show some love. Save a life. Save Baby Lysander.

3. Show some love. Say a prayer daily for Lysander and other babies like him who need healing and help. Our God is a God of miracles and wonders. Please join us as we storm the heavens for all babies, especially those like Lysander!
Hi! I'm Lysander. Please help me and my parents so that I can grow to be a holy, healthy and happy boy!
Please also help my friend, Baby Chino of http://championsforchino.com if you can. He needs open heart surgery just like me! Thank you and may God bless you for your kindness!

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 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.
