The Fullness of Life Foundation’s Story
by Sandy Yozipovic, Founder & President
It almost seems like yesterday, when I was hiking with my family in Sedona on the September Labor day weekend in 2001. We were almost to the top, when our eight-year-old daughter, Christie showed signs of vertigo. I felt a little relieved to be heading back down the mountain, as I was a little tired from being up most of the night with severe stomach pains that subsided by daybreak. I had been concerned for a few months, as I no longer seemed to have the energy that I used to. I always kept active with daily walks, workouts in the gym at least 5 times a week, and I had just received my High Blue belt in Tae Kwon Do, along with my husband Mark, Cody our thirteen year old son, and Christie our eight year old (at the time), we were a very active family, and we loved to life and the adventures that came with it.

Helping One Patient At a Time
My dad was just permanently laid off, and it would take several weeks for my treatment process. How would we get to Arizona, and where would we stay once we got there? Those were some of the little things we wondered about, but the big one was, how were we going to pay for treatments? Kids at school were raising some funds, but there was no way they could get that much money raised. We believed that our faith in God had a lot to do with how things worked out last minute, and we began to pray that God would work things out this time too. Wow, did we get answers!

A Grandmother’s story
By the time I discovered the words “First, do no harm” were not actually in the Hippocratic oath, I was stunned but not surprised. A year’s battle with FDA approved second-death-sentence treatment and a no-tolerance policy for alternative treatments produced a sad summation – Freedom of health care – I don’t think so!

Imagine Your Worst Day Ever
First, imagine your worst day ever. I thought my worst day was the day the surgeons walked away with my 11 month old baby in order to remove her brain tumor. But it wasn’t, the very worst day was 12 years later when the doctors told me there was no longer any hope because we had run out of options. They said it was time to take my daughter home and watch her die. I have even been told that to be a good parent, you have to know when to give up and let go. I do not give up.

Your Health is in Your Hands
In the fall of 2002 my parents were out for a visit. They arrived, and my Dad had severe abdominal pains. They continued to get worse and worse, so we rushed him to the emergency room. After several hours and exams, the doctor told us he believes it’s cancer. When he left, I immediately said to my mom, “we need to pray and ask God to lead and guide our steps. We need to trust and believe for healing. We don’t receive sickness, we need to keep a positive attitude, we have God, and we have natural options.” Click here for Cathy's story...
