Yaissel Abreu Andreu
Her gratitude and love towards God has been the key to keep going and never give up on life. When she was a few months old weird symptoms started to appear, and from then on symptoms kept appearing giving the doctors a hard time to diagnostic the illness. By the time she was 8 years old doctors finally found a diagnostic. Polyarteritis Nodosa, the illness is rare and not well known, just as the name itself. This illness is similar to Lupus and leukemia yet more aggressive. It affects organs, bones, and the whole body, which causes more illnesses to appear, such as: Epilepsy, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromialgia, kidneys disease, etc. This illness is degenerative, which means it worsens with time. The doctors didn't believe Yaissel would live to be of 15 years of age; But against all human broadcast she is alive and is 19 years old now. Yaissel has experienced what is like to be very close to death, she has experienced that in 23 times, 23 times the doctors said to her parents, "We are sorry, but there is nothing else we can do, she is going to die." But our Father in heaven who is the Doctor of doctors decided to give her the opportunity to live, because He had a plan for her life. She is sick, but that doesn't stop her, her positive and cheerful attitude is inspiring "I know God can cure me, but I trust him, and I know he decides what is better for me, as humans we tend to ask God... Why? Why me? but the real question we should ask should be, What for? With what purpose is God allowing this?; then you will see the answer will be very different. God's agenda isn't the same as ours, and he has a purpose on everything he does. I believe the biggest miracle is not to be cured, but to keep going, smiling, sharing the love of God to others with our example and life, and doing your very best on everything, even when things aren't at its best. When no one believed I was going to make it, here I am, making it possible through God's power." Yaissel has a beautiful voice which she uses to praise God's name. Traveling everywhere where people invite her. Singing and sharing her testimony and the big things God has done in her life is way too important for her. Her biggest dream is: "To be able to reach millions of people with my voice and testimony about what God has done for me, not for fame, just for others to believe and to have faith in God." She has 3 CDs, and 2 Official Music videos. You can find her on iTunes, iLike, MySpace, Facebook, Youtube and Twitter.
