Final Update

October 3rd, 2024

 

Dear Friends,

 

I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of Avice and her family, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous contributions, prayers, and unwavering support throughout this challenging journey.

 

Thanks to your kindness, Avice will soon be transitioning to homecare in Colombia, where she will begin her rehabilitation process. Over the next four months, she will work hard to regain her strength and mobility, and her case will be re-evaluated at the end of that period.

 

Your support has not only provided financial relief but has also uplifted our spirits in ways that words cannot fully express. Every donation, prayer, and kind thought has made a world of difference, and we are forever grateful to have you as part of this journey with us.

 

We will be closing this Spot Fund on Saturday October 5th 2024. Thank you for believing in Avice's recovery and for standing by her side during this critical time.

 

With heartfelt thanks,
The Charles and Inglis families

Update, 08/30/24

 

Hello compassionate supporters, friends, and relatives,

 

Thank you for your continued love and support. Avice is still fighting, and we have some updates to share with you.

 

On July 19th, 2024, Avice was transported via air ambulance to Cali, Colombia, accompanied by her husband. She has been receiving medical care from an interdisciplinary team of oncologists, nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and psychologists. We are happy to report that Avice is stable and making progress in both pain management and chemotherapy. Her doctors describe her as a strong woman with unshakable faith.

 

Avice and her family are deeply grateful for your unwavering financial support. So far, fundraising efforts have raised approximately US$8,000 locally and US$4,200 through the Spotfund crowd fundraiser. While in St. Lucia, your contributions covered medical examinations, the purchase of medical supplies, and caretaker costs for Avice. Recent donations have been used to transport Avice to Cali and to cover medical expenses while in Colombia. We continue to trust in God's provision as He continues to meet her medical needs in Colombia.

 

Avice's recovery journey is a testament to the power of prayer, faith, community, resilience, and determination. Despite facing significant medical challenges, she has embraced every step of the healing process with unwavering strength and faith. Your prayers and support have been crucial to her progress.

 

Avice will continue her medical care in Colombia, trusting God for complete healing. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support. Please continue to keep Avice, her husband, and her children in your thoughts and prayers.

 

With heartfelt gratitude, love, and appreciation,

The Charles and Inglis Families

Hello supporters,

 

Thank you for your love and support. Avice was admitted to the OKEU hospital on 28th May 2024 after a fall that left her without lower limb movement. 

 

Update:

A Lymph Node Biopsy was performed, and the Histology Report released on the 20th of June 2024 confirmed the presence of lymphoma at an advanced stage. This diagnosis has been a profound shock and a challenging journey for her and all of us who love her dearly. Avice is still hospitalized at the OKEU hospital in St. Lucia and is presently in a stable condition. She remains prayerful, hopeful and optimistic.

 

Contributions:

We want to take this opportunity to thank those who contributed, called, visited, prayed, and provided support to Avice, her husband, children, and extended family members. Approximately, US$2,000.00 was raised locally and US$1,873.00 was raised online through the Spotfund crowd fundraiser. Contributions have been used to cover Avice’s medical tests, medical supplies, and caretaker costs, as Avice needs round-the-clock care from a nurse aide. We thank God for all of you. We appreciate each of you. 

 

Next steps: 

Avice is scheduled to receive specialized treatment in Cali, Colombia. She will be airlifted from St. Lucia to Cali, Colombia accompanied by her husband on Friday July 19. Her total out-of-pocket medical expense in Colombia is approximately US$50,000. To transport her to the medical facility in Colombia, we must secure an air ambulance, which costs an additional US$9,950.00. This brings our total fundraising goal to US$60,000.

 

We are committed to providing updates every other week on Avice's progress and the status of our fundraising efforts. Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support. Continue to keep Avice and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

With heartfelt gratitude, love, and appreciation,
The Charles and Inglis families
