Like everyone else here and all sane people, I can only use my personal experience for trying to understand what's happening with poor Esther.

To me, she may mouth words but she's unresponsive to any command or question and it seems everything is instinctive only. I think her brain is damaged beyond all hope. Added to this, she's apparently now suffering secondary medical issues which in themselves sound insurmountable.

I will say this; when my Dad was admitted to hospital for the last time, he was in Recuss for hours until they managed to stabilise him enough to be moved to the ICU.

At this point my Mum and both my sisters decided between themselves that all would be well and, as had happened before, Dad would be patched up and returned home to Mum.

But the head of department told us that Dad was in a really bad way and things didn't look good.

Unfortunately, again, Mum and my sisters were in such denial that they didn't understand what they'd been told and still believed Dad was being cared for and would return home. The consultant called me aside and was very blunt. He told me that Dad would die within the next 3 - 5 days and it wouldn't be pretty. He told me to make my family understand this.

I managed to get this sad news into them so they finally accepted facts and the consultant came to us again as a family and was blunt, firm but empathetic. Dad was on the way out and that was that.

I spoke to Dad, told them we all knew (he had already been told and was at peace with this) and assured him we'd just enjoy the time he had left and not plead or nag him to get better.

And basically that's what happened. No more being delusional, no more unrealistic hopes, just a settling and accepting of facts which allowed Dad to relax and we all enjoyed the next two days.

I think Esther's doctors may have tried to tell Andrea what's happening but have shied away from being blunt and firm. Maybe that's an American medical ethics thing? Here, we're usually told up front what's wrong, what will be tried, what might very well happen. It's so much less stressful for all concerned but mostly so for the patient. It's horrible to try to meet a relative's unrealistic hopes.

All in all, though, we viewers are at the mercy of Andrea's manipulations, duplicity and drive to wring as much money from people as she can. This gofundme thing, for instance, must seem like a dream come true for her. If people send her money, I highly doubt one penny of it will go in Esther's direction. Not one penny.

Curiosity is getting the best of me. Do YouTubers pay taxes on the income they generate? Would it be like an income tax?

Wonder if the foolys pay income and property taxes….

I was also thinking back to when Raphael was a toddler and had those AWFUL ulcers and sores from being left in a soiled diaper for too long. I raised three children and aside from occasional diaper rash- none of them EVER had open sores and ulcers like that baby did. And for him to get UTI’s he must have been left in filthy diapers for long periods of time. Shameful. Poor little guy..

I believe that Esther and Jack worked all their lives, and it is possible that they have supplemental insurance that will kick in when Medicare maximums are met. I am a supporter of universal healthcare, but the complicated US system is not as horrible as Andrea makes out. My husband, son, and I have lived in Canada with cradle to grave government healthcare, and now live in the US. We have received excellent healthcare both sides of the border. Andrea would be bitching about the cost and quality of healthcare no matter where or how it was administered. She is sick and evil, a deadly combination. My heart bleeds for Esther, Jack, Eddie, Rafael, and Abigail. Andrea is a destroyer of lives. I even have some sympathy for Hadar, who is weak, sick, selfish, and his chance at a moral life has been totally destroyed by Andrea.

Andrea and Hadar are only interested in one thing:

Making Money.

There are many online sites which estimate YouTube earnings.

One has listed their daily income as $200.

However, one can perhaps assume that Andrea is receiving a disability pension, and the children are as well. How many other government benefits do they receive?

A&H have demonstrated their expertise in only one area: Manipulation.

Their “show” continues in that fashion.

Just wondering...is there any way to report the videos to Facebook? Or at least get them demonetized? I can't bring myself to watch these videos.

Does anybody know what hospital Esther was in? Maybe we could report it to the hospital admins. I'm sure they would not want all of this going out on YouTube. Maybe a lawsuit would take place.

Andrea, we know you read here. You are a huge piece of 💩 and you should be ashamed of yourself.
