Fuck! this sucks
alright im sad now. im part of a vinyl/art community where a good amount of us put our collections and selfishness aside and help others. Over the past year i helped out one of my fellow members with donations of money and parts of my collection to auction to benefit his 3 year old daughter Ava has a pediatric cancer called nerublastoma. and mu little donations along with numerous others were to help her treatment.
i just read this email
"I'm not sure if this has been posted yet; I know many of the board members have given generously to try to help Ava and her family. This was just emailed to me:
AVA our brave, beautiful fighter passed away this morning at 2:18am at
cedars sinai medical center.
she went in to get blood and platelets when a tumor near the top of
her nose pressed on her brain causing her to instantly lose her speech
and motion. it was as if she was paralyzed. she then started to have
trouble breathing and needed a respirator we had no advance warning.
she could not even blink. it was the worst thing i have ever
experienced in my life.
she is now resting in peace playing with her dolphins and seahorses.
before her heart stopped, i promised her no more pokes, medicines,
painkillers, bone marrow aspirations, mri's, ct scans, chemo etc...
we plan on scattering her ashes near catalina island in honor of
carole hurvitz, karen ross and her incredible team ashes will also
be scattered in san francisco in honor of dr. louis chesler, kate
matthay amy s, and his amazing team...
Behrooz Hakimian, MD Radiation Oncologist Cedars-Sinai, you are truly
compassionate, we will never forget what you did for us.
we have no doubt that you guys supported and did all that you could to
help save our daughters life.
neuroblastoma is horrible. one day there will be a cure....NO child
should suffer as ava did.
those who were lucky to meet our daughter know that ava truly lived
life to the fullest in her short 3 1/2 years.
she truly lived life each day as if it were her last with not a care
in the world.
we all should remember that life is so beautiful. time is short, use it well.
with much love and peace to beautiful little ava,
larry & ally
photo is the last one we took before she passed away"
