He was true to his word.
Vasilakos, an herbalist and Reiki teacher, received a package on July 16
with a $20,000 check and with a handwritten note from Warner. The note
read in part, "Someone up there loves you because I was guided to meet
you Saturday. I never lose my way, but fate had me lost and ask you for
directions. The rest of the story I hope will be a wonderful new life
for you."
Courtesty of Jennifer Vasilakos
"Of course I started crying,
because that's what girls do," Vasilakos said. "I'm incredibly thankful
to Ty Warner and to everyone who has supported me with love and prayer."
The check cleared a few weeks
later and she booked a surgical procedure at an undisclosed foreign
hospital to begin hematopoietic stem cell treatment.
Hematopietic treatment takes a cell from the blood or bone marrow that
can renew itself and develop into a variety of specialized cells.
"After I serendipitously met
Jennifer, I further educated myself on her stem cell needs. I was
shocked that this particular type of treatment wasn't available to her
in the U.S., My hope is that we can bring this lifesaving treatment to the
forefront so that it can become more readily available and provide
alternatives for people like Jennifer."
