Support Janina with Expenses after Father’s ceremony

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,

I’m reaching out during a very challenging time. My father recently transitioned ❤️ and it’s been hard to manage everything for a while.

It happened around 5:30pm on July 8th. ♥️ My Dad had a carotid artery surgery 8 years ago, that had complications during the procedure, and plaque flew into the brain, while under anesthesia, and it caused a stroke. Since 2016, he has been recovering, but it’s been so hard on me. He lost his speech, and movement in his right side.

After his surgery, he was in the ICU unconscious for days, and I went to an Ayahuasca (Santo Daime) ceremony, in Maryland. I connected with his photo in the middle of the Ceremony. I heard his voice, say “I feel lost, I feel trapped,” and I spoke to him like a regular conversation, “Dad you had a surgery, that caused a stroke while you were under anesthesia,” I spoke to him like a regular conversation I said, “it’s okay come back to your body,” and he did.

He’s my Warrior of Light, for 8 years he stood strong, many therapy sessions, and genuinely peaceful and enjoying a good laugh. He lost his voice for 8 years, it was really hard on me to understand and process this. It’s been tough integrating ever since. He understood everything, when I spoke to him. Even when I asked him if he remembered the conversation we had when he was unconscious. He said “yes,” and we cried together.

Andrzej Rudzinski (pronounced Ahn-Jay, means warrior) is my Father. At age 75, 10 days before his 76th birthday on July 18th, he took his last breath in my Mom’s arms. He truly is a champion, of the hardest 8 yrs of his victory of life. My Father, my Warrior of Light, my protector and defender.

Thanking God, my Mom is so strong and she’s wonderful and she’s also my best friend but she also hasn’t been working, she was retired and there by my father to help him.

Due to the unexpected nature of these events, I’ve fallen behind on bills and other unexpected expenses. I need to get my car back from LAX airport and raise $3,000 to cover the cost of retrieving my car, it’s been accumulating fees. I haven’t been working I’ve been doing a lot of emotional healing. I plan to travel to and from California to Virginia to be with my mom and help out the best I can. While working part-time in California, until I can find a full-time job.

Anyone in my life these days I consider like family. I’m deeply grateful for your support and love. I share the peace, love, and good vibes I’ve learned from my father with you, and a lot of joy and laughter. We had his celebration of life ceremony July 27th and I’m here in Virginia helping support my Mom.

Thank you so much for your generosity and understanding. Your help will make a significant difference in helping me get back on my feet and be there for my Mom. Thank you for your contributions, love, and support ♥️

Wishing you Love, Peace, Health, Happiness, Harmony and many many many blessings.

Warm wishes,
Janina Rudzinski
