Let's help Saragrahi Vaisnavi'son
Donation protected
UPDATE 08/20/22
We are still continuing this fundraiser. The goal is now different.
Since Krishna took Vaisnavi to his heavenly kingdom and his son was left alone.
For the moment he's in the care of his aunt who traveled from Argentina to take care of her sister at first and now his son. He was born and raised here in Alachua and wants to stay here where he goes to school and where all his friends are. We are trying to make it easier for him to continue school and be surrounded by his friends, so that this life change is less traumatic. One of the parents of his friend has offered to give her a place in his house and we are doing the paperwork for co-custody.
I would like to hug you all and say THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to this fundraiser.
We have been able to pay for my sister's cremation and the services provided thus far by the attorney, all thanks to the continued support of all of you!
The money raised will be to purchase an RV camper, as his future caretakers have requested to get his one so he can have his privacy and access to the house.
The memorial for my sister Saragrahi Vaishnavi will be at the Temple next week.
Thank you with all my heart, you will remain in muy prayers forever!!
Clara, Laksh's aunt

Hello. It’s a very difficult moment for us. Unfortunately my sister is hospitalized again. Hoping to get better, at the start of an alternative treatment to help with this terrible desease she had a seizure, leaving a generalized weakness throughout her body! She is inmobilized, with permanent oxygen therapy, pain medication, and needs help 24/7 to do basic needs , such as eating, bathing and dressing... We need your help no matter how small it may be! .. we must pay taxes and food .. and we don't receive any income under this circumstances... only the help of all of you! .. She, her son and Krishna will be eternally grateful. Donations, no matter how small, are always welcome. Thank you for your time and help.

Thanks to Krishna and the prayers of His devotees, Vaishnavi has been improving day by day.
Under the control of the doctors and with the help of Oxygen Therapy, she is more stable, eats and drinks in small amounts, and walks slowly and little with someone’s help.
The latest news from her doctor is that her body is so weak that she could not withstand conventional chemotherapy treatment and they told her that there is nothing more from their part they can do for her. Vaisnavi continues to have faith in an alternative treatment can help her. To make this posible we are continuing asking for everyone’s help. ( no matter how minimal)
She, her only son and Krisna will be eternally grateful! Right now she is being taken care by her only sister, who traveled from Argentina leaving her job to take care of her every day at the Hospital.
"Hello, my name is Vaisnavi Devi Dasi (Silvia Rodriguez). I am a disciple of Krishna Ksetra Swami, and with his blessings, I am writing to you from a challenging situation, humbly asking for your help.
I am from Argentina, but I have lived almost half my life in the beautiful devotional community of New Raman Reti, in Alachua, Fl. I am a single mother of a 15-year-old teenage son.
I have also been fighting Breast Cancer for a few years.
I have had two surgeries and have been through various allopathic treatments, including hormone and radiation therapies. After I fractured a bone in my neck, and my back, the doctors believed cancer spread into the bones. I almost died from the pain. Now I need painkillers permanently, and I am prevented from working. Basic house chores like cooking and cleaning have become a challenge in my life.
I am currently undergoing allopathic and ayurvedic treatment, and I am doing everything possible to recover my health. I pray if Krishna so desires, to be able to continue my service as a mother and a servant of the Lord. The situation is incrediblybecause I am the only support for my son in this country. My family from Argentina helps me however they can, but the economic situation there is tough.
I have an opportunity to do a natural immunotherapy treatment at an alternative clinic in Tijuana, which presents very encouraging results. Still, I do not have the means to meet the financial obligations.
For all this, I humbly turn to you. I am in a desperate situation, and any help, no matter how little, is a blessing and a light of hope for my son and me.
Blessings and thanks for reading, sharing my story, and helping me in this challenging stage of my life.
