A brief introduction to 'Stories' by Kevin Cervantes

Dear Friends,

This section will be dedicated to stories. The Alyssa Alvin Foundation for Hope wants to share stories about Alyssa, but also, stories about others who have been affected by cancer.

I believe that stories need to be told to  raise awareness of the struggle that cancer patients go through, but also, to tell stories of their courage and endurance. My experience with witnessing the unwavering strength and courage of Alyssa and her family as they battled cancer together has forever changed my life. I hope to inspire you all with these stories because my experiences with Alyssa lit a fire in my soul that will forever be present to give me strength through all the days of my life.

We will post anything from good music, pictures and poetry. We'll even blog about a visit to a child or young adult that has received our gift. We want to tell you stories of love, endurance, and courage. Most importantly, we want to tell you stories of hope.

I encourage you to share your story. If you've been affected by cancer or if you know someone who's been affected by cancer, please let us know. We encourage people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and faiths to share their story. We want to hear from you. We want to tell your story because it needs to be told to inspire others!

My friends, hope is very powerful. Above all else, we must never give up hope

Sincerely,

Kevin Cervantes

We do not exist for us but to share the grace and love given to us all. We breathe it in, it changes us and then we breathe it out, we share it.  I have now breathed in deeply and it has changed me completely.  It has healed my heart, restored my home and made me new.  Because of that grace, there is always HOPE!  Breathe it in...and then exhale!  -  Plumb

God is always with us through life's troubles, struggles and losses.

“Everybody has broken places in their lives that need the rescue of God and that need healing and need His perspective,” she says. “When we get His perspective, it just helps things get smaller compared to His greatness.

One of Alyssa's favorite books is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Alyssa and I always talked about how awesome it would be to live in the Roaring 20s also known as the Jazz Age. This playlist is dedicated to that memory.
