Hi, I hope you can help us. My mom is currently being treated until Nov. 30th in California for metastatic breast cancer, via alternative medicine. None of this is covered by insurance, and we’re not sure how we’re going to finish her so far successful treatment, and pay for the suppliments and alternative medicine when she comes home. Below I have written a donation request letter, and I do hope you can help us. I love my mom so much, she is only 69 years young, and the thought of her dyeing because we can’t afford her meds is making me crazy. I hope you can help us.
Tammy Baile for Ann Taylor

Hi Everyone.
It is with great sadness in my heart that I write this request. It is regarding my mom, Ann Taylor, who has been my teacher, my guider, and my best friend for 50 years. I would not be the person I am today if she hadn’t taught me all of the stand up morals, ethics, and work integrity that she did.
She is currently sick, again, with a difficult, aggressive advanced form of metastatic cancer. This is her 5th bout with a cancer, she kicked butt the 1st 4 times.
When she was diagnosed last month with metastatic breast cancer to her liver and bones, she was told no chemo would work, traditional medicine had nothing to offer her..
She has been a strong believer in alternative medicine for the last 20 years, since her 1st. original diagnosis of cancer. She turned her life around… ate the correct things, bought organic top of the line herbs, vitamins and supplements, went to see Holistic doctors. It did work, and that 1st cancer did not return, or better put, was not discovered, until just last month, 20 years later. She did, in the interim, suffer from an acute case of Leukemia and on 2 separate occasions was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma that had spread to her lymph nodes.. Working vigorously, these cancers were researched and cured, and we thought she was home free.
Since Chemo was not an option for my mom, I researched 22 hours a day for 1 week straight, making many calls to many doctors in alternative holistic centers and clinics to find a path for my mom that realistically would give her a chance to beat this thing.
I discovered an absolutely amazing clinic in southern California, run by Dr. Ferre Akbarpour, called the Orange County Immune Center. Here is a hyperlink to her home page: http://www.drferre.com/doctors/index.htm Dr. Ferre and all her staff are amazing people full of tremendous knowledge, warmth and hope. This is where my mom went, and currently is. It is an outpatient Clinic, so she is staying a few miles away at a hotel that costs $109.00 a day. She will be there until Nov. 30, 2011. The problem is that none of this is covered by insurance. Absolutely none. The cost is $5,900.00 per week at the Immune Center, plus 2 cab rides a day, the monthly hotel bill, dinner 7x a week, breakfast and lunch 2 days a week. There was the $700.00 airfare to get her there on 2 days notice, the cost for some food to keep in her room, and most importantly, the $1,000.00+ cost of supplements and medications she will need to take monthly for probably the rest of her life. All this while being retired and living solely on Social Security.
Dr. Ferre’s clinic will optimize my mom’s immune system and natural killer cells using many modalities and supplements, including some German Technology, which is the only place in the USA that I could find using this amazing technology,. This is our only hope, our only chance that she will see her grandchildren get married and have their own children, that she will live a good long time. She realized this was her only chance, and although she knew she had to pay for everything, she did it anyway. My mom is not ready to leave this earth, it is not her time. It’s so sad that Traditional Medicine had nothing to offer her, and that insurance does not pay for what will help her. Dr. Ferre treats many different illnesses, but your records must be sent and reviewed, and if she does not feel she can help you, she does not accept you as a patient, she’s not a gold digger who just takes peoples money. She is a highly skilled doctor of the utmost integrity, who will only accept patients she fully believes she can help.
We have set up Annie’s Fund , a collection fund for my mom to help cover the expenses incurred by choosing an Alternative Medicine path not covered at all by insurance, and to help pay for what Dr. Ferre will prescribe for her upon discharge, which she has been told will cost $1,000.00+ a month, most likely for the rest of her life.

We are good people, hard working, with good hearts. We have both given anything we had to anyone who needed our help in any way. My hope is that all the good works my mom has “paid forward”, will now come back when she needs it most in the form of good people assisting her financially to live. We have never done anything like this before, but there is no way around this money problem, and the thought of my mom dyeing over not having enough money for her med’s is not something I can sit idly by and do nothing about.. So, I’m reaching out to all of you that know me and my integrity, to ask for financial help for my mom. If you know someone else with a generous giving heart, or someone who greatly supports Alternative Health Care, please print this out and show them my mom’s fight to live and beat the pulp out of this cancer.
The fund has been set up through paypal. If you would like to contribute, you can send any donations directly to paypal at amisunsets@verizon.net, or you can mail them to me at:

Please be aware that the FDA is very touchy about what you write about Cancer and curing it with Alternative Medicine, and that I am not trying to be evasive in any way about my mom’s cancer or treatment, I just want to be sure I don’t write something that may get Dr. Ferre in trouble.

I thank ALL of you for taking the time to read this, and I hope any of you that can spare any amount of a donation will look into your loving and giving hearts and feel comfortable making a donation.
Thank you for any and all support and prayers and
May God Bless you.
Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way we cope with it & what we do with it is what makes the difference.
