Pray for Alfie

[JackoPaul]

Yet another baby is being Euthanized in the UK. Against the parents wishes and stopping them taking their child to Italy for continued treatment.

The hospital has reportedly withdrawn life support today at 1330 BST. The exact time and date was kept secret due to the supporters praying and demonstrating outside the childrens hospital. The so called 'Alfies Army' has been demonised by the media.

Last week the parents appealed to the Pope to intervene, but it seems he has done nothing.

The Catholic Church in England and Wales has said Alfie should only be taken to Italy for treatment if a British court decides an "exception" should be made.

It is now being reported that the Italian government has granted Alfie citizenship in the hope that his parents will be allowed to take him to Italy before the hospital lets him die

Tom Evans' Message Delivered to the Holy Father

I cannot thank you enough for allowing me the opportunity to be here in front of Your Holiness today.

Our child is sick but not dying and does not deserve to die. He is not terminally ill nor diagnosed.

We have been trying our best to find out his condition, to treat or manage it.

I am now here, in front of Your Holiness, to plead for asylum. Our hospitals in the U.K. do not want to give disabled children the chance of life and instead assisting in the death of children.

We now have realized our son's life does not mean much to the NHS [National Health Service].

We plead to you to help our son.

Alder Hey hospital do not want to let Alfie leave the hospital unless he is dead!

Alfie is not dying, so we don't want to take him out in the way the hospital wish us to.

We see life and potential in our son and we want to bring him here to Italy, to the Bambino Gesù, where we know he is safe and he will not be euthanized.

When Alfie shows me and his mum any sign of suffering or dying, we will enjoy every last moment with him, but Alfie has not yet shown us he is ready to go, so we continue to fight just as he shows us to.

If Your Holiness helps our child, you will be potentially saving the future for our children in the U.K., especially the disabled. We pray the problem we are facing is solved peacefully and respectfully. No child deserves this.

Especially not a child of God.

The judges in the U.K. have not told the truth about our son and his condition. They have listened to everything the hospital have said and agreed with them. But there is no real medical evidence to say Alfie will die, or that he has this form of disease.

Since Dec. 14, Alder Hey have asked us more than 100 times to remove Alfie's ventilation, even when he came off the life support three times. Doctors in the U.K. said he would never be able to do this, but Alfie proved top experts wrong and they still pushed me and his 19 year old mum to let him die, even when he came off life support.

Alfie has been on life support, with a tube down his nose and throat, for 15 months. This is very wrong. He should be, and needs to be, on a tracheostomy. This is clinically and professionally very wrong.

We do not understand why our child amongst many more are being treated like this. We believe it is because he is disabled and the U.K. want to legalize euthanasia.

Please help us save our innocent child and give us the grace of asylum to keep our family safe and to stop all of this.

The hospital are depriving us from sleep and not allowing us to sleep with our own son we have to sit in a chair all night with him to comfort and protect him.



Press Statement:

We would firstly like to thank all of our supporters and those who have helped us with our fight, from the bottom of our hearts — from me, Kate and Alfie!

It means the world to us and gives us the strength to continue!

Secondly , we would like to thank Alder Hey for their treatment of Alfie and his family this last week!

For lying to the police, claiming that Alfie was ward of court

For keeping him prisoner under police guard

For stripping him of his dignity

For banning his mum Kate from the hospital and stopping them from being together at this time and stealing precious moments

For taking away our seating arrangements in his cubical

For taking away the rights of him and his family to be together

For depriving Alfie of the comfort, touch and love of his family that he has been used to every day of his life

For depriving me of sleep when it seems perfectly OK for the nursing staff to fall asleep instead of looking after him! I have video evidence of this.

And for trying to dictate what is in Alfie's best interests when we have several pieces of evidence showing Alder Hey to be acting contrary to his best interests!

Leaving him in poor and squalid conditions, in urine and feces and with moldy feeding tubes!

How can this Trust get away with this? They should forfeit any ability to dictate Alfie's best interests and let people and doctors who care look after our son, not terminate his life because of their failure to diagnose him and treat him effectively!

But we want them to know they can't break us or wear us down.

Alfie, the family and all of our supporters are stronger than ever and will keep fighting all the way.

We will never give up on Alfie!

Thank you.

BREAKING: Alfie Evans removed from ventilation

LIVERPOOL, UK, April 23, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – UK baby Alfie Evans was removed from his ventilator sometime after 9:00 PM local time, sources on the ground in Liverpool tell LifeSiteNews. Parents Tom and Kate are now in their son's room at Alder Hey hospital, spending what may be their last moments together.

Alfie's father Tom confirmed in a Facebook live video that his son Alfie has been removed from the ventilator and that he has been "sustaining his own life since 9:17."

During a conference call earlier this evening a UK judge would not change a previous court decision that the hospital could remove the baby's life support under the pretext that it was in Alfie's "best interest."  The call happened between the family's legal team, Justice Hayden, the Italian ambassador, and hospital administration.

The only relatives allowed to be in the room when the ventilation was removed were Alfie's parents and two other family members, LifeSiteNews learned.

It remains unknown how long Alfie will survive removed from his life-support.

A hearing was held by conference call at 7:15 pm, with the Italian Ambassador to Great Britain, Judge Anthony Hayden, and Thomas Evans' barrister present. The judge decided to withdraw life support and not allow Alfie to be transferred to the Vatican hospital.

According to google in 2012 the high court judge was the author of a book called

       Children and Same Sex Families: A Legal Handbook

A year later in 2013 he was appointed high court judge and given a knighthood making him Sir Anthony Hayden. I wonder why?



Mr Justice Hayden wrote in the foreword: 'A society that respects diversity, values equality and promotes fairness is a healthier one for children to grow up in and a better one for us all.'

It has been over 6 hours since Alfie was taken off life support. Even though doctors stated he would not be able to breathe without it he has survived so far. Apparently doctors have permission to use drugs that will inhibit Alfies breathing.

Last night the Pope finally said something

Moved by the prayers and immense solidarity shown little Alfie Evans, I renew my appeal that the suffering of his parents may be heard and that their desire to seek new forms of treatment may be granted.

Talk about too little too late. The Pope appealed using Twitter, who does he think he is Donald J Trump? Why couldn't he have appealed last week after he met Alfies father and appealed formally to the UK government and the European Court?

The ArchBihsop of Liverpool Malcolm McMahon and the English Cardinal Vincent Nichols still refuse to comment. At least the Brazillian Bishops have supported Alfie
