An urgent request on behalf of my son:

My beautiful 2.5 year old son, Sebastián Aurelio Casaus Natale, was recently diagnosed with an exceptionally rare and aggressive cancer that has spread to his lungs. He is currently undergoing very intense treatment. This is testing everything that I know and believe in but I am holding tight to the wonders and miracles and healing that surround us everyday. Particularly, the wonder that is a cell and its ability to heal itself. I asked two dear friends to each write or share a song that I could sing directly to Sebastián's cells as they begin working to clear the cancer and heal themselves.  As someone whose life's work has been centered around bringing people together in different ways on different issues, I wholeheartedly believe in the power and healing that is possible through collective action. So, I am directly asking each and every one of you to join me in singing a song to my son. So that we could make a collective song with each of your voices, one after the other, that I could play for him every day. As a mother and parent there are a million ways we will desperately fight for our children, I am asking you to be part of one of mine.

Below are two audio files to the two short songs along with the written lyrics. I'm asking if you could please record yourself singing one or both of these songs or a different song of your choosing. Please sing as you would sing it to a child, as you would sing it to my son's cells. It does not have to be a special recording, it can be as simple as just recording into your phone. 

You are also welcome to add a verse or record an instrumental version or write and sing your own or different song that can be added to these.

Email recording(s) to:  sebastiansong2021@gmail.com 

If you make a recording of two songs please attach them as two different files. 

My dear friend Amanda will be receiving your recordings and compiling them together to create one long song, Sebastián's Song.

Immediately she will be putting what people contribute together so I can begin playing it for him as soon as possible, but we promise to share with you a compiled version that will continue to be updated as people send recordings. While this song has been initiated for my son it is for all of us, as it is a co-creation of all of us for healing. 

Please share this with anyone you think may feel moved to respond. You are free to share this email as well or post on social media.

In love and with deep appreciation,

Naomi  (Sebastián's mama)
