Lora Redding, Breast Cancer Survivor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 1, 2019, I received \u201cTHAT\u201d call from the doctor. The one with news that makes your heart sink
and panic set in. The next day I went for a biopsy, and soon learned that I had Stage 3 breast cancer in
both breasts including my lymph nodes. The tears came along with all the fearful thoughts that come
with them. Thoughts mostly about my children and the pain of having to leave them. Then thoughts of
all the things that I had left undone. How would I ever finish and organize things so quickly to save my
family from having to do so much after I\u2019ve gone. Just so many thoughts racing through my head and
none of them good. The pain in my heart was clenching and constant. I was devastated and then
through my faith in God, I became strong and determined.
I started researching and searching for hope through other survivors. This was not the end; it was
something others had conquered, and I was determined to do the same. This organization was created
out of love and the need to give \u201cHOPE\u201d to others going through such a devastating diagnosis. It is to
help those searching the internet and looking for help to understand with resources to assist them in
their journey.
My journey was long and hard. I didn\u2019t want anyone to see me suffer or feel sorry for me. I continued
to work and keep my life as normal as possible. With three kids in college and so many responsibilities, I
knew I had to keep going. I trusted in God and did everything I could do to get it out of my life for good.
I had aggressive chemotherapy, a bilateral mastectomy, hours of radiation, and chemo meds. I have
regular scans and so far, have been clear for which I am thankful every day. I follow a regimen of
alternative medicines and holistic therapy as I believe natural things exist that God created for our
wellness.
I thank God every day and know that he has given me life again. In addition to thanking God, I have lots
of beautiful people in my life that have given their all to support me throughout. My three beautiful
children give me purpose. My mentor and friend for life Judy Mobley has given her all to walk every
step of the way with me while fighting her own battle with cancer. I\u2019ll be forever grateful for the
enduring support of my friends and family. Your own loved ones will keep you going, and it is my hope
that our organization will give you the resources and \u201cHOPE\u201d you need to fight this battle and be
\u201cVICTORIOUS\u201d!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ovarian Cancer Survivor <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Despite being an active 72 year old professional, I was diagnosed with Stage 3(c) Ovarian Cancer. Cancer being a foreign word for me at the time, I was at a loss as to where to go or what to do.  The first thing I did was ask God for His healing mercy.  I immediately discovered that God had me covered; He placed people in my path that put me on the road to healing and discovery (Dr. Patricia Wilson, Lucy Krause, Dr. John Straughn, Dr. Julie Montgomery, Amy Guerriero, Sister Maria Dulce, Mary Hall, David Mobley, Sr., James Young, William Young, Caitlin Young, Grayson McMahan, Levi McMahan, Gabby Mills, Stuart Sanderson, Barbara Caddy, and Lee Krause). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After a couple of months and many hours of research on Alternative cancer cures, I transitioned over to a Holistic Cancer Protocol, Alkaline Diet, RSO, Fenbendazole, and an amazing visit to Sister Maria Dulce in Baton Rouge, LA. After 6 months concentrating on holistic medicines, I had “exploratory surgery” and was pronounced “in remission and released” with no cancer present.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Lessons learned from my experience is that God is the Great Healer.  Now it is my job to help others fund their Holistic\/Natural medicine journey.  Paying it Forward!”   <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
