Hi,

The following is an excerpt from our Chairman's recent letter, which explains a little of his dear sister Mary's story, which, along with his family, inspired his creating La Luz Relief Fund, in Honor and Memory of her, Mary of the Light (Maria De La Luz):

 

"It all began when our family experienced a severely traumatic incident in 1991 when Mary, Dr. Marston’s daughter, choked on a piece of pecan at the age of 9 months and suffered for 45 minutes with anoxia while living in Baja California, Mexico. This trauma left Mary’s brain injured and she was unable to move, speak, or even blink. With the intention and hope to find a cure for her situation, Dr. Virginia Marston sought assistance in the United States. After a short time, hundreds of volunteers from around the U.S. began offering help with Mary’s therapies. These volunteers happened to include world renowned doctors, such as Dr. Patricia Kane PhD, Dr. Viola Frymann DO, and Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt PhD, who assisted with Mary’s treatments and paved the way for Dr. Marston to further expand her medical career. Due to the donations of time and knowledge from these Doctors and volunteers, Dr. Marston was able to assist her daughter with day to day medical care, and also to begin her own advanced learning in the field of Alternative Medicine.

After 17 and a half years of intense personal and familial struggle, Mary passed away in the winter of 2009. Through careful thought and prayer, Dr. Marston came to the conclusion that this was not the end but rather only the beginning of her medical career. In her personal development throughout the years of working with Mary, Dr. Marston began to expand her understanding of medicine, and it has become her personal mission to assist the sick and suffering who come upon her path.

Mary’s light continues to shine upon us through thick and thin. Our family’s personal experiences with Mary have inspired us to create La Luz Relief Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, to help raise funds for medical and educational purposes. We can now receive donations online to help patients in financial need raise funds for their treatment expenses. Donors are also able to receive tax deduction through La Luz Relief Fund for these contributions."
