A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
and for a brief moment it's glory
and beauty belong to our world...
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all.
Please HELP TERESA
1yr old Teresa Villalpando is dying. “She never be 13 or have a boyfriend;” says 13 year old cousin Alexia, “she will be lucky to turn 2.” 1 baby is born every 30 minutes with a Lysosomal disease like Sandhoff.

As you release this butterfly in honor of me,
know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer,
close your eyes and see me there.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
please know that I'll be forever in your heart.
Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.

Help Teresa find a cure arkadaşlarınızın arkadaşlarına dahil devamı
Hi my name is Liahla Roberts- Valdez Im with the Sandhoff support for the NTSAD. I have 6 children. My youngest Teresa Villalpando was diagnosed with Sandhoff Disease when she was 10 months; she was 20 months when she passed away.
Teresa is so very beautiful in all her ways. She has the brightest smile anyone has ever seen. She is always happy and content and oh so forgiving. The doctors often refer to her as “such a brave little girl." She has taught us so much about life.
When our hard journey began, Teresa was almost 3 months old Things started going wrong when she get a cold which quickly turned into these choking spells. We had never seen this before - my baby turning blue, then purple. “Quick, watch the kids! Lets go to the hospital.” Weeks with no sleep soon turned into months, hospital after hospital telling me it was just a cold and that she would be better soon. “Get some sleep,” doctors would tell me, until the right doctor listened and said “we have to do something now.” Cat scans, M.R.I.'s, echoes, bronchoscopes and blood work after blood work. Three months later, she can’t hold her head up. “Help me please! Something is wrong with my baby!” All they could say was "she’ll be fine." Four months later, “No no ! She can’t sit anymore. “Help my baby! Something is wrong. She can’t see! Help her please, she is scared!”
Slowly the bigger picture started coming together. My baby was sick, there is no treatment. Such a rare disease, most doctors have never seen it.
Sandhoff disease causes progressive deterioration of nerve cells in the central nervous system, because this affects the brain and spinal cord, development slows and muscles weaken. Infants lose the ability to crawl, sit and roll over. They also develop cherry spots in the retina, eventually leading to blindness. Mental retardation and seizures are also to be expected, as well as paralysis. There is no treatment at this time for this disease. Most children with Sandhoff die by the age of 3.
We started a campaign “Help Teresa” with the help of the NTSAD organization. We are raising awareness of Lysosomal diseases such as Sandhoff. By doing this it is our hope that more research leads to a cure in the near future.
