Chai Lifeline Parent speaks of what he endured

today he's a thriving and five is about 26 years old he's a regular kid to meet him in the street that never know the difference is not possible for a family to go through a situation like this without an organization like that see the Sugar Man he lost his sister to leukemia 32 years ago before there was such a thing as an organization by my appointment he was a three-year-old child from today's 35 36 years old and he still remembers the trauma of being left alone coming home his parents weren't home his father-year-old sister took care of him it's not shy of her family the guardian when I spent six and a half months in manicure the guy immediately move in they stopped working they push and move in they don't have we just don't leave the door by somebody else well they just don't show up you don't see him around but to give this a family that has children at home wasn't my first child it was my third it's not shy it's pushing outside to function you know a mother you know besides her dealing with the actual the illness construction today I don't remember but there's so much drama and if you read the divorce rate in families I'm not talking about amateur fans that lived through pediatric illness is tremendous because the stress that it creates on family is not China tremendous tension like slowly mentioned the dealing having to be able to rush on a misnoticed at a hospital I remember my wife came home which was a travel lady she said look I had as many months whatever the three weeks I'll take suppers and then afterwards I'm not taking food anymore from anybody I'll manage well she's going to the hospital every day every other day now she'll make her basement she's home she'll make and she'll put in the freezer it's impossible it washes you out it's impossible to function the rides we wouldn't ask for so many times I could you can quote her life one on a minute's notice and say look I kind of got stuck in the hospital I had two kids coming home from school I need somebody to read the debating system I'm nobody else you know to reach out to the Emma says that these are things that are technically what every person will do for their time you know that your friend's stuck in the hospital and they're you would clearly take their kids whoever hard it is for you and this method you have to realize that people are proud and people don't always want to reach out for help the thing about cell life cleaners is like which you know stories said that people associate that Lifeline with being uh you know Disney a camp some kind the truth is I want to play something and when you live through such a situation you can appreciate the importance what it means to appearing to have a child that suffered so much in his life like when I was set up I must have had a kids when I kicked out with the speeding to Brazil Who was 22 months old and he was off oxygen I remember I made a Kiddush and I said it's a politicism and I look at the kid and I think I said okay such a Halo going to show me even from a young age he's doing a situation and I put to myself like you know people say that these kids are really going to show us and I you know and I realized the top of shocked I'm trying to say everybody has an interview but they're getting so much gastroies that you don't see but this guy never had no idea he wasn't you know he was an oxygen no one knows he was intubated you know with the respirator for so many months to get an aversion to eat he had New England houses and mainly you saw you saw us in the show but think about what it means for a parent that has a child that suffers so much physically and then you get to see a child have a good time to enjoy himself it's hard to explain to somebody who messages through it it's much more my lifeline is near push it to keep the crew to keep the family together think about my life on a Lakewood at least is that there's nothing at all that they don't do I know that today I'm I'm on the other side of the coin my wife you know I came up with the nurse to take care of the baby because he had so much you know equipment and things like that and whatever the nursing agency that we use wasn't good and my wife opened up the nursing agency in town I know soy's not gonna be happy when I say this it's not officially a service that they know but we come across families that financially can't afford medical insurance and you know it's not one of the things that Lifeline does but how close I'm collecting money I managed to put together 500 a month though this guy paid for insurance I need help can you help me finish well that's not something they do but my lifeline there's no such thing when there's somebody with a need there's nothing you can call me you know what I'm saying that's not what our organization does severe the help of families survive when a person has a friend that's living through and I know there's some Personnel I know there's some other friends that I had that have gone through this as many times that you want to help you don't realize when a family is suffering people tend to say things that are silly you say things that make you know people upset and besides for that you know sometimes you just can't find their contents of how it is that you want to help somebody when you show up that I like my dinner and your friends sees you he understands that while you're there is a supporter and the reason why you came is of course you'd love to help and you just don't always know how and by helping cry Lifeline you are indirectly doing what you would want to do to cook you're helping them to be making suppers being taking care of the kids being offering to give a ride things that you would want to do for a friend that you can't do if you don't realize that Lifeline has the capabilities of 500 volunteers that they have in Stanford Mayfield who help them you're helping your friends
