Help to save Ela’s life

Help us pray for a miracle for our beloved Ela Stankiewicz.
This brings us to the present. Ela is faithful and she knows, we all know, that her time may near. But because she is faithful she knows Jesus healed the sick and that miracles do happen. With this in their prayerful hearts, Ela and her family are pursuing an expensive experimental treatment. Ela and her family want to believe in miracles. They believe there is no stage 4 for the faithful. But they also accept God’s will as they face this uncertain future. They believe in both miracles on earth and the resurrection in Heaven.
Please help Ela's family provide Ela, dear, giving Ela, with the best possible hope for a blessed healing or a blessed and prayerful transition.
We need prayers. We are grateful for any amount of financial help.❤️
Ela was diagnosed with stage 1A3 Squamous cell Carcinome Lung cancer. In June 2019 she had her lower left part of her lung removed. Surgery was successful and she was cancer free. Happiness didn't last long as routine PET Scan showed new cancer growth in lymph nodes in the middle of her chest. September 2020 she started 4 three day cycles of chemo. October she started 30 radiation treatments to her chest. Chemo and radiation worked and seemed to get rid of the cancer but not for long. March 2021 Brain MRI showed a small brain lesion which meant that cancer had metastasized to the brain. This was the worst news for Ela and her whole family. June 2021 she started 4 two day cycles of chemo and October 2021 she started 10 whole brain radiation treatments. Routine CT scan in November showed progression and increase in size of the brain lesion and chest CT scan showed new spot on lymph node in her chest. Ela had couple more radiation treatments to the brain and shortly after, she started having horrible side effects. She suffered memory loss and brain swelling causing seizures. Due to her side effects she can't do anymore chemo or radiation as she's too weak to tolerate it. To make matters worse she got sick with COVID-19. She has no strength to get up walk or take care of herself. Her husband and her daughters take turns in taking care of her. She needs constant care with everyday activity. Walking, eating, getting dressed taking a bath are just few examples of things Ela can no longer do by herself. With medical bills piling up and Ela's health insurance not covering home health aid her family is struggling.
Currently Ela has stage 4 terminal cancer and Drs are giving her 3-6 months of life.
Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
