LifeFunders for Month: September 2021

Help JPII Institute develop ethical COVID vaccine

CAMPAIGN CLOSED BY STRIPE: 

Dear Friends,
As many of you may know, over the past two months John Paul II Medical Research Institute has been working with our friends at LifeFunder to promote our vaccine development efforts through a crowdfunding campaign on their website. 
This past week however, our Institute was informed by payment processor Stripe that our account with them would be getting shut down.
JP2MRI was informed by Stripe that we could appeal the initial decision and did do so for a more thorough explanation. 

We were then informed by the representative at Stripe that our account was being closed because they had reviewed our website and found that what we were advocating for and trying to develop was against their company policies.
We were shocked and disappointed to learn that the decision by Stripe was clearly politically motivated and based on the Institute’s scientific belief that the current vaccines on the market are not effective and needed a better, more ethical solution. Stripe has
informed JP2MRI today that their decision is final.
Consequently, since there is no way for donors to make donations to our campaign through LifeFunder, our campaign through
LifeFunder will end as of today.
Instead, we are asking all of our supporters to make their donations to our Campaign for Cures by visiting our website directly at:
Thank you very much for your continued support.

2021 “Campaign for Cures” to Help Develop an Ethical COVID-19 Vaccine and Novel Therapies 

The John Paul II Medical Research Institute (JP2MRI) was established in 2006 with a mission to
find new therapies and cures exclusively using adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem
cells. 
The Institute does NOT engage in any embryonic stem cell research and seeks to develop
preclinical research technologies that will advance drug discovery and regenerative medicine in
the following core research areas: 1) Neurodegenerative Diseases; 2) Rare Diseases; 3) Cancer;
and 4) Chronic Diseases. 
And, JP2MRI is also currently hoping to develop a more effective and ethical
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine that is free of all aborted fetal tissue and cell use in both development and
testing. 
The Institute is making progress on our vaccine developmental efforts and has already
raised some of the necessary funding to assist with the significant costs associated with this
endeavor. 
However, we need to raise much more financial capital before our vaccine candidates
can be validated. 
JP2MRI will need to test our vaccines in an academic BSL3 facility that is
certified to contain infectious pathogens like COVID-19. 
These studies are required by the Food
and Drug Administration and are unfortunately very expensive. 
JP2MRI needs to raise an
additional $500,000 before the end of the year to help defray the costs of producing a pipeline of
attenuated vaccines; produce new adult stem cell lines for vaccine testing; and conduct
preclinical animal testing to identify the lead vaccine candidate that will be selected for more
rigorous efficacy and safety studies. 
It is our hope to develop a more robust, durable and ethical
coronavirus vaccine than those which are currently being administered under the FDA’s
Emergency Use Authorization and which were designed, manufactured and/or tested with
aborted fetal cells. 
The vaccine we are working to develop is a traditional attenuated virus vaccine, it is NOT gene based like the majority of the vaccines currently approved under EUA or developed during Operation Warp Speed. We believe an attenuated virus vaccine is safer and more robust in mounting an immune response.
Please join this important campaign by making a meaningful, tax-deductible
contribution.

Help Pastor Hildebrandt bear unjust COVID fine

The Church of God in Aylmer, ON, has been gathering for church service indoors and not turning people away that come to worship together, seek hope, comfort, and a community of support. 
During this difficult time of seemingly endless lockdowns, this is forbidding people to exercise their freedom to peacefully assemble and worship together.
We are currently scheduled to have our constitutional challenge heard starting in January 2022 and are being represented by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.
On May 14th, 2021, a Judge ordered the doors of the Church of God building in Aylmer to be locked. 
The Sheriff – accompanied by police officers – arrived at the church during a church service. Everyone was ordered to vacate the building and a locksmith changed the locks. 
The congregation was exercising their constitutional rights to freedom of assembly to worship and gather. 
The court also imposed contempt of court fines totalling over $273,000 plus interest when they were paid in September 2021. 
Their stand for freedom to assemble and worship will impact the entire country for the better. 
The congregation refused to pay the fines until the government decided to cross the line and go after members personally. 
The Ontario government attempted to seize personal assets such as furniture, computers, vehicles, tractors, etc, from individual church members to collect its pound of flesh for the state. 
Not because there was criminal activity, but simply for going to church as Christians have done for centuries. 
$274,515 was paid to the Ontario government directed by Premier Doug Ford and Attorney General Doug Downey as they chose to move vindictively against individuals instead of placing a lien on the church building or attempting to seize it from the congregation.
Your prayers and support is felt and if you feel inclined, a donation would be greatly appreciated. May God bless you!
Hebrews 10:24-25
24. And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works;
25. not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

My husband died after hospital refused Ivermectin

UPDATE (10/07/2021): 

To everyone who has followed the story of my husband’s tragic death from Covid and hospital neglect,  I wish to update on where I am in this unbearable season of life.
I am diligently seeking legal counsel, but in the state of Alabama it is very difficult to sue in relation to Covid deaths, even though after receiving his extensive list of medical records, I am finding alarming information that was withheld from me. I was even told that Jurors will make judgement that if he had been vaccinated he would have had a surviving outcome..so basically they are making decisions without truly knowing the facts..I have learned of many vaccinated individuals who have died in ICU from Covid, but those cases are never reported. We are facing a new form of segregation. Complying is not always the right way.
I am not only appreciative of the monetary donations, but also diligently read the comments and am grateful of the prayers and sound advice given. I am overwhelmed with grief, fear, anger and the unknowns to come.
I’m trying to pick up the pieces while still maintaining normality for my two daughters who I homeschool, while trying to navigate our financial security. 
I feel so convicted to fight for my husband who died unnecessarily. Please pray for my daughters as they are dealing with their own emotional distress and now have to grow up without their father. Please pray for me as I endure this battle. I will continue to fight in memory of my husband and the Godly man he was.


UPDATE (09/17/2021):

It brings me unbearable sadness to let you know that my sweet, kind, hardworking husband passed away on September 17, 2021.

I’ve never felt so much pain. My heart is breaking into pieces. The joy has been ripped from my life. He was such a joyful man who lived life to the fullest and never met a stranger and would help anyone in need, but was treated so unfairly. 
I’m carrying so much guilt for not feeling like I made the right choices or acted quickly enough. I wish I would have known sooner what to do.
I also have overwhelming anger for the medical system and the doctor who treated my husband and, up to the day he died, still refused to give him the Ivermectin and told me he wasn’t going to discuss it.
So now, I’m supposed to know how to move on and raise our teen daughters at such a precious age for a father to be around, while living with overwhelming guilt.
I appreciate the funds given and would like to now use them for financial assistance and to seek further legal help.
Please pray for my daughters and I, as well as his 73 year old grieving father, who also lost his wife in December. We are overwhelmed with grief.

– Melissa

——————————————————————————————————————-

Hi, my name is Melissa and I have never done a fundraiser before, but my heart is aching and I’m desperate for help. I am hoping you can help me and my family. My 43 yo husband Todd is very ill with Covid in the hospital. 

I love him so much … and am feeling very scared and helpless … and sick with worry.  I haven’t hardly slept or eaten for over 10 days. My dear husband is such a sweet, kind, hard working man. He doesn’t meet a stranger and would do anything for anyone!
 
Todd began showing symptoms of Covid on August 30th, tested positive on September 1st, went to the ER on September 5th, and was admitted to the hospital on September 8th. 
Since he was admitted, I was not allowed to see him. On Sunday, September 12th, the respiratory therapist told me Todd was the best patient on the floor. In the middle of the night I was called to come tell him goodbye as they were putting him on the ventilator! What a shock! I feel further devastation, as today, September 14th, the hospital called to tell me Todd’s kidneys are shutting down and they’re putting him on dialysis.
I would like for Todd to receive proven meds such Ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies as many hospitals including Providence Hospital in Mobile, Alabama are now administering. 
But the hospital refuses. I am needing legal help to get the hospital to administer these proven meds to help my husband Todd recover from Covid, but my husband is my only source of income and I don’t have the means to hire an attorney.  
We have attorneys ready to help but need assistance with legal fees.  Here is an article about another family that fought for their relative in this way: https://www.legitgov.org/new-york-supreme-court-judge-saves-80-year-old-patient-death-ordering-hospital-give-life-saving
Perhaps our efforts will help the hospital to improve protocols for patients in the future!

Help students defeat vax mandate at Jesuit College

UPDATE: A message from Patrice (10/18/2021):

In September, I was forced to withdraw from my last year of Dental School. As a future healthcare practitioner, I have spent countless hours studying the manufacturing, benefits, side effects, and adverse reporting results. 

It was my decision to WAIT. To wait for more evidence, more confirmation that what they are giving to you and your mom and your best friend is SAFE and worth the assumed risk. I am not here to argue about whether or not a person should get it. Rather, I am standing strong in the fact that every person has the RIGHT to decide and that making it required is against my beliefs and the principles America was founded on.

Therefore, I accepted my forced withdrawal from my last year of Dental School, despite planning on graduating in May 2022. I received NO tuition reimbursement even though I was withdrawn halfway through a semester. My school does not accept medical, religious, or personal exemptions. They did not offer an alternative, like wearing a face covering (which we do anyway as dental students) and weekly testing. Lastly, this requirement was unfairly targeted directly at students as there is NO requirement for staff & faculty to get vaccinated–they still have a choice! I can’t help but wonder if Creighton has something to gain once “all” students have it. Oh..did I mention Creighton also identifies as a Jesuit university? This decision was not easy but I truly believe this story will become a part of my testimony. My dream is still to become a dentist, but until the time is right, I will be fighting this.

I am pursuing legal litigation against Creighton University. God led me by unfathomable chance (a story for another time) to an amazing attorney who, for the last 30 years, specializes in working with the dentists, physicians, and nurses. While this is untreaded territory for all of us, I have faith that no weapon formed against me will prosper. Prayers are always welcome!

If you know someone interested in supporting this legal battle, please share this LifeFunder donation link with them. LifeFunder is a Christian-based fundraising outlet supporting causes they believe in. They do not take out any additional fees (unlike GroupMe…google their fee%). I have aqcuired $300k+ in debt (as most dental students do) so financially I do not have the funds to fight this. However, I am putting my trust in God and know that he will provide

Dear Supporters,
It has been a long time since we updated this campaign, and we apologise to those of you who are not already on our regular mailing list. Thanks to your generosity, we are now living in the repaired farmhouse which is serving as our main house. The stairs were just recently completed, and only a few minor finishing touches remain to be done. In addition to providing for our daily needs, incoming donations are being set aside for the further development of the property.
The June Issue of our newsletter is now available on our website (Issue 24 – June 2023) as are all previous issues. We are trying to publish them every two months.
Thank you once again, and be assured of our gratitude and prayers.
In the love of Our Lord and His Blessed Mother,
Mother Irene & Community

Dear Supporters,
We sincerely apologise for failing to keep you updated more regularly on the progress here. With the good weather and long daylight hours here at last, we must use every opportunity to plant this years crops, stain our wooden Cells, work on the house, etc., It means that the office work has been somewhat neglected…However, you have not been forgotten in our prayers and sacrifices which of course is our main Work in the heart of the Church.
Since our last update, there has been much progress. Coloured cement tiles have been laid on the entire ground floor, and now that we have sealed them with a clear varnish, they look just like traditional terracotta tiles – at a fraction of the cost. Upstairs, laminate wood flooring is now in place. We did most of the work of laying it ourselves, with help from one kind volunteer. The skirting boards have also been installed, although many of them have yet to be painted. The stairs are in place, but they too have yet to be stained and varnished…
This very moment the electrician is finishing off the electrical work, and the plumber has done a great deal already.  One solid fuel stove was purchased second hand and is in good working order, while a range cooker is waiting to be installed.
The outward appearance of the house has changed little since the September update, but hopefully during the summer the builder will find time to plaster it. We would love to be able to cover it with flagstone to give it a more monastic appearance, but this would likely be too costly. 
It is hopeful that we may be able to move into the house this summer. Still, there remains much work to be done in the development of St. Joseph’s Hermitage. After the house, the erection of an enclosure wall is one of our most urgent needs. 
One of the largest rooms in the house will serve as a temporary chapel, but it is our hope to erect something more permanent at some time in the future, as soon as circumstances will allow. Tentative plans are even now being drawn up for that purpose. Any donations which may not be required for the house or necessary development (such as the enclosure wall) will be carefully set aside for the future chapel – which is the most important part of a monastery. We invite you to be part of that foundation itself. 
Overall, the progress on St. Joseph’s Hermitage has been good and our hearts are full of gratitude, not only to God Who is so visibly blessing us, but also to you dear friends, since it is through you that He has done so. May He Himself be your eternal reward! 
Very gratefully yours in Jesus, Mary & Joseph,

Rev. Mother Irene & Community

Dear Supporters,
The interior plastering was completed some weeks ago, but as it took a long time to dry in our damp Irish climate, this has delayed further progress until now. Providence has enabled us to find a good carpenter to build the stairs for us, and the digger is currently on site to lay the necessary pipes and tank for the wastewater system. 
The first coat of paint for the interior walls has been purchased, and half of the flooring; but beyond that the house is still in a very raw state. We have yet to purchase a range cooker to serve for cooking and heating, as well as simple second hand kitchen units, the rest of the flooring, and all the plumbing and electrical fittings. 
We are deeply grateful for the generous response which we have met with so far from this fundraising page, however, we have not yet reached our goal. 
If it is not too much to ask, we would be very much obliged to you if you would consider sharing this page with other potential benefactors.
With the assurance of our grateful prayers for you and all our benefactors,
Mother Irene & Community

Dear Supporters,

You will see in the photos below where we are at present in the repair of our house. We cannot hope to finish it this year but by the grace of God, we hope it will be liveable by late Spring of 2022. 
It is going to take a lot more funds to complete this house so we have basic facilities like a kitchen, bathroom, dry cupboards for our clothing etc. 
We are receiving enquiries from potential candidates who are showing an interest in joining us. 
May God bless and reward you all.
In Jesus’ Name

WILL YOU HELP US?

We need all the help we can get to raise enough funds to finish our monastery and our home!

A small Community of Traditional Catholic Carmelite Nuns in Ireland was evicted from their land last year, following the enforced removal of all their wooden buildings. 
 
Since then the Nuns have purchased a new piece of land with an old farmhouse which is in the process of being repaired. They are in need of your help to complete this project in order to provide them and future aspirants with adequate space to live their Contemplative Religious Life of prayer and penance for the spiritual benefit of all. 
                                                                                  ******
In March of this year, the Carmelite Nuns of the Holy Face moved from their former Hermitage in West Cork after being denied retention on their humble wooden buildings and evicted from their own land by the local County Council. 
The Providence of God and the kindness of many benefactors has enabled them to purchase land with an old house in the hills of West Cork, Ireland. When fully repaired, the farmhouse will serve as their main building.  
At present the nuns are using a 20ft converted shipping container to serve as a temporary chapel where they come together for community prayer for you and your family. They are using a garden shed as a temporary kitchen and have no piped water or electricity. 
The Carmelites do what they can to support themselves according to the teachings of St. Paul and their Rule of Life. However as they must put nothing before the Work of God, they depend for the most part on the free-will offering of benefactors. No donation is too small and all benefactors are remembered in the daily prayers and sacrifices of the Nuns. 
Never has there been a greater need for women and men to dedicate themselves to prayer and penance for the conversion of poor sinners and the salvation of souls. A holy Archbishop once said:
“Without monasteries, without the examples of the contemplative Religious consecrated to the continual praise of God, the Church will never recover from the present crisis. In order to traverse this present crisis, there must be more monasteries, more souls willing to devote their whole life to prayer and intercession.” 
Ireland, which was formerly known as “The Land of Saints and Scholars”, has fallen from its former glory with the official acceptance of abortion and sodomy as well as other crimes which call down the wrath of God upon society. 
While many brave individuals and families living in the world are in the frontline of the battle to openly fight and resist the evil and lies of governments and mainstream media, the Carmelite Nuns of the Holy Face play the vital role of intercessory prayer for all God’s children. 
Like Moses on the mount, they continuously fight with the uplifted spiritual arms of prayer and penance. Night and day they cry to the Lord for the suffering members of the Church so that He would bestow His grace on all to fight and resist the evil and return to the Lord. 
As a way of showing his moral and spiritual support to Mother Irene and her Sisters in Ireland, His Grace, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.(former Papal Nuncio to the USA), sent her his Apostolic blessing and encouragement.  https://carmelitesholyface.com/support 
Your own moral and prayerful support is much appreciated, as well as any financial contributions you may be inspired to make. The Carmelite Nuns assure you of their grateful prayers for all of you who contribute to this worthy cause in whatever way you can.

My son died after Pfizer jab – help me warn others

UPDATE (11/01/21): 

Thanks to your donations, Ernest Ramirez is now in Washington D.C. He spoke with LifeSiteNews about his son’s death and the Vaccine Victims’ press conference he will address tomorrow (11/2/21) at the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington D.C.

Follow LifeSiteNews.com for full coverage:

—————————————————————

Hello, my name is Ernest Ramirez. 

I was a single parent who lost my son a few days after he received the Pfizer vaccine. 
I have told my son’s story in Houston, McAllen and at the Capital in Austin. I have also done a couple of news interviews, and now I am trying to raise money to tell my son’s story in Washington D.C.
The money raised will be used for myself and my good friend Robert Tooney of Bikers for Christ to travel to D.C. 
I need to spread my story so that hopefully no one else will go through what I’m going through. 
It kills me to come home to an empty house. 
Ernesto Jr was my world and I feel I need to fight for him and others that are suffering.
