I will forever be a friend, supporter, and devoted follower of the Desserich family and The Cure Starts Now. They are amazing people who should be recognized as well as respected, and are truly an inspiration to us all.

@alchemicdream000 - How dare you. Do you see how much agony they are in? I bet you cannot IMAGINE how much pain they go through everyday. To have your baby your flesh and blood die a horrible death. They must have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on medical bills you idiot. Do you know how expensive that shit can get?!! Well I DO! Going on tv does not mean money anyways! It means sharing your story so it sends hope and love to others. So people will look at this and LEARN something <3

She found pleasure

In hiding up treasure

Her thoughts were expressed

With a love that knew no rest

and I will be thinking of this sweet

girl tomorrow, on Valentines!

what a stupid news. thousands of people die in africa and who even give a shit about????

What a clever little girl. Just looking at the pictures of the notes and knowing the back story made me tear up. I know other parents haver their kids dieing too and I keep them in mind, but honestly this is much more significant, because of what she did.

[alchemicdream000]

for every "Elena" that you guys are crying about, there are 1000s of other children DYING whose parents are not publicizing the story to the media.

Keep them in your thoughts too.
