Yesterday, my mentor and friend Laurie Kelley posted a gut wrenching and painful story of a young boy named Brain with hemophilia. He lives in Zimbabwe and his story, and those similar stories I have heard while in Kenya make it more and more apparent that we need to help. Most of you know me as an athletic, active and adventurous person with hemophilia as a minor side note, but this story will show you what hemophilia really is. I am simply posting Laurie's words and pictures below.

| Brian
had tears rolling down his cheeks when I asked him to simply lift his
arm. He "lifted" it by his shoulders; he cannot hold a cup to drink
from. His feet look like balloons. Four of his fingers are grotesquely
swollen. I told him we had money to give him, $100--a fortune to him!
Some nice man from the States donated it, and Brian promptly looked down
at the photo of Jim Morrison (which I had just been admiring). I told
him, No... not that guy! We all laughed. Save One Life donors: we ensure
your donations get to the kids! |

| Today
at 3 pm, just before heading to the airport, one more African child
with hemophilia to visit at the hospital. Imagine my shock: Brian has
perhaps the worst care of joint damage and bleeding I have seen in 16
years of traveling to developing countries... he's age 13, weighs only
50 pounds, cannot walk, is an orphan, lives 4 hour bus ride away from
the hospital......and he's wearing a Doors t-shirt. He stole my heart. |
This is why I want to climb the Seven Summits. Yes, I want to see if I can, see if I can push myself as far as possible but the main goal is to somehow make a difference in the lives of people like Brian. Please if you can, donate to my climb. Any amount helps but mainly, please spread the word. Send this link and story to family and friends. And most importantly, if you really want to make a HUGE impact in the life of someone with hemophilia in a similar situation go to saveonelife.net and become a sponsor! I put the links below for both! Thank for all of your support!

Very painful story. Your story is very helpful to inspire anyone and to increase awareness about hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. I will really suggest to parents, friends to read this and Donate To Support People With Hemophilia
ReplyDeleteHaving haemophilia A this means that his body, his immune system, fights off the medicine – the infused factor VIII. The alternative clotting factors that we used to control bleeding were much less effective. His medical condition was heart broken. Despite our visit to several doctors his health wasn't getting better. He was subjected to different medications, by many doctors for treatment without the assurance of having a permanent cure. Having a son with hemophilia and then, the added challenge of an inhibitor, is not always easy. Suspicion that something wasn’t right began when he was 6 months old due to the heavy amount of bruising which started showing up all over his legs. As a parent, I would love to fix things and make everything better. Fortunately, there have been other positive alternative (Herbal Medicine) though few people doesn't know the challenges of living with hemophilia. If your child is having same problem, do not expose him/her to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective.

ReplyDeleteMy husband suffered hemophilia and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to hemophilia . I never imagined hemophilia has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.hemophilia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony.
