Amber Soffea has always been exceptional, both medically and
personally. From the materials in this website, sponsors will come
to understand that Amber has been afflicted for some years by an
as-yet-unnamed, perhaps unique immunological illness that is
chiefly known by the treatments to which that illness responds. The
years without complete diagnosis indicate the uniqueness of her
medical situation. While much of this lacking diagnosis stems from
the inability of physicians to proceed with such work without
adequate funding, the sheer remoteness of her illness accounts for
the remaining absence of any explanation of why she is ill.
However, one risks committing the deepest of injustices by viewing
Ambers exceptional being only in knowing her by her illness.
Personally Amber stands only to serve others. For Amber, this
service stems from her deep, spiritual faith that operates as a
guiding principle in helping others. Amber understands her
diagnosis, treatment, and eventual recovery only as functions in
helping and serving. Indeed, as explained below, Ambers diagnosis
and treatment have already helped and served others. Further
funding for additional research, diagnosis, and treatment will only
continue this help and service. Finally, Ambers personal, axiomatic
understanding of her role in this world guarantees that when made
whole, she will only continue to help and serve others. Amber's
Help and Service to Date Physicians in Europe and the United States
have already come to recognize the uniqueness of Amber's medical
condition. However, as a mythical beast such as a unicorn is
understood in such concrete terms as a horse with one horn thus
identified by its distinguishing, if diverse, body parts so has
Ambers condition helped Western medical science to better
understand at minimum the component parts of Ambers illness, if
only by its separate (but still probably inseparable)
immunological, digestive, and neurological symptoms. As a result of
this understanding, Ambers illness has been the subject of
publications both at the National Institute of Health and abroad.
Individual physicians have learned from the experimental protocols
used to treat Amber. These protocols have been instructive in
treating such conditions as Crohn's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis,
AIDS, and many other diseases. Those protocols have then been used
to treat other patients, and so on. The sacrifices made to both
treat Amber and that have perhaps prolonged her illness have, to
date, largely only been of service to others. The Help Provided by
Continued Diagnosis and Treatment Amber, for her part, remains ill.
The sacrifices and treatments applied to date notwithstanding,
Amber deserves to be made whole. The only reasons why Amber has not
achieved a fullness of her health to date have been a lack of
funding and medical care willing, under financial constraints, to
press forward to the end. Apart from this, only what treatment
protocols do make Amber more functional are known. However, as the
foregoing indicates, funding further work for Amber can only
operate to further benefit medical science. The physicians she is
working with now, as shown in her other portfolio contents, are
among the best in the world. Those physicians merely point out the
material imperative of this world that in order to fund additional
work, money is required. But given payment of those physicians
tuition, they are driven to learn not only how to help Amber, but
from the experience gained from her unique, diverse condition, to
be able to help others. The expanded understanding of how to help
others medically has, perhaps, no worthier competitor. This is the
purpose in helping Amber now. The Help to Others When Amber is
Cured However, it is but Ambers nature to help others, regardless
of her own physical condition. Whether in the depths of her illness
or the peak of her health under treatment, Amber has provided years
of volunteer service to terminally and critically ill patients with
an understanding found only by one who has experienced it herself.
She has provided similar service in the rescue and rehabilitation
of cats, dogs, horses, and many other animals. She has written and
published while weighing less than many 10 year olds and otherwise
unable to walk. She has run a successful and profitable organic
gardening business. She has then donated proceeds to her church,
other charity organizations, and to individuals who probably will
never know the suffering Amber herself has endured. Helping Amber
now is only on effort in helping her to serve others. Ambers
faithful determination to so serve others is the driving reason she
has permitted herself to survive to the present day. Perhaps
prospective sponsors, by virtue of their own generous desire also
to help and serve, feel some comity with this all-too-uncommon
modern worldview. However, Amber simply cannot meet this goal
without the help of others. Sadly, the only factor lacking in
sufficing her to have complete diagnosis and treatment is funding.
Amber understands the duty she has to assist others in their
deepest need
