María Mercedes Sebastian
María Mercedes has served as a FARA ambassador for several years and dedicates her time helping other people going through the same things and staying updated about the advances on FA treatments. She loves God because she has discovered that he is the definition of love. She also likes to spend time with her family and travel with them. María Mercedes studied at college and later got a master’s degree, but right now she doesn’t work because of her FA progression. Her favorite FARA events are the ones where people get to connect because they help the FA community feel less alone and realize that others are going through the same things. María Mercedes would tell someone newly diagnosed to search for God and follow him because if she had done that earlier, she would’ve avoided a lot of suffering. She would also tell them to be patient with themselves.
