Esli Needs Your Support!
When Esli Santiago was just 40 years old, his life was thrown into upheaval when he was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), an autoimmune disease that effects the spinal column and the joints throughout the body creating severe, chronic pain. It can also effect major organs, the urinary tract, digestive system and eyes. After the many, many years dealing with the progression of this disease and failed attempts at traditional medicine, Esli has learned his only hope to regain his health is a stem cell transplant.
Born and raised in beautiful Puerto Rico, Esli lived a very active lifestyle. He enjoyed working out, running, and playing basketball. He prided himself on being a hard worker. In 1997 Esli made the decision to leave his home and move to the United States in pursuit of a better life, one with abundant opportunities. In 2001, he was blessed with the birth of his first child, Edlisa and, in 2002, he was doubly blessed with a second daughter, Kassandra. He was a wonderful father who took to it naturally and yet he found himself in a battle for custody of his girls. With the love and support of his wife Sarah, whom he married in 2008, he was granted full custody a year later. From that point forward he was determined to provide nothing but the best for his young family.

Esli,our brother in Christ, We are keeping you and your families in our thoughts and prayer. I am praying for healing, peace, comfort, and encouragement. 2 Corinthians 4 16-18. Therefore we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For our momentary lightness of affliction works out for us, more and more surpassingly, an eternal weight of glory, Because we do not regard the things which are seen but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
