A friend
We are asking for urgent prayers and support for our dear friend Teresa Morales and her family.
Teresa’s son, Jacob, was diagnosed with leukemia last spring. After months of treatment, he was matched with an anonymous bone marrow donor and underwent his transplant just before Christmas. He is now required to remain at City of Hope for 100 days post-transplant as part of his recovery.
In an unimaginable and heartbreaking turn, Teresa’s 20-year-old daughter, Angelina, traveled to LA last week to be with her mom and brother. While there, she suddenly developed chest pain, difficulty breathing, and unexplained bruising. She was taken to the ER, where doctors discovered her platelets and blood counts were critically low. An oncologist was immediately called in.
Within hours, Angelina was admitted to City of Hope, and she is now in the ICU in a coma.
This has all unfolded in the past 48 hours
It is almost impossible to comprehend that a mother could have two children with leukemia at the same time, both fighting for their lives. Teresa is walking through every parent’s worst nightmare—twice.
Please, please, PLEASE pray:
• For Jacob’s body to accept the transplant and continue healing
• For Angelina’s condition to stabilize and for answers and recovery
• For Teresa to be surrounded with strength, peace and unwavering support
