Isabel! Who Is She?

Isabel Lynn Coupland is her name. She is a Filipino-American, born in Niles, Ohio on March 20, 2000. She was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma stage IV on May 7, 2004.


One evening while waiting for a member to pop-up on NetAgent, (still on AOL that time) Sak was viewing a site and it got my attention. I asked Sak who’s blog it is. Sak and I love reading blogs and we have so much fun reading them at work. Sak sent me the site so I read it. My heart broke when I started reading about her. Her mom Luz was the one posting on the site about her. From then on I started praying for her. She’d been part of my daily devotions. I keep on praying and asking the Lord to lay His hands upon her and receive healing from Him. I keep on claiming that she will be healed. I am doing that for a year now. I’ve sent her a card and her mom sent me a personal e-mail to thank me for it. We still communicate via e-mail. I’m always telling Luz to be strong and I am always praying for Isabel and for her as well. Isabel is going through chemo-therapy. I know it wasn’t that easy. She’s just 5 years old, my tears keep on falling everytime I think of her specially when I pray for her. She is too young to die. She’s a strong little girl though and very pretty. She is cheerful and playful. We are not related but I’ve learned to love her more and more everyday. If I will be given a chance to see her, I will definitely grab it. She got a very special place here in my heart. I will continue praying for her and I hope whoever read this will help me pray for her. She needs prayers and I know prayers can move mountains. I wish I could hug and kiss her. She is really special to me just like my own daughter. May the good Lord strengthen her for every therapy she’s going through. May she receive healing from the Lord. And may her family hold on to their faith. Please help me pray for Isabel and her family and help me claim healing for her.
