Blessings In Diguise

Hello my supporters!! Whew this week has been a hard one for me. So I was on the social networking site called Instagram on Monday, I believe, and came across a picture of Johnathan Christian Berry. Johnathan just turned two on March 4, and suffers from brain damage and leukemia. When I first came across his picture I immediately clicked on hi smother's profile because I wanted to know what had happened to this sweet little boy. His mother has documented everything that is going on with him on her instaagram page (kinkybabe). I think the thing that hurts the most is knowing that there is a cure for his cancer but he can not receive it because of the brain damage. According to his mother, he stopped breathing at the hospital one day and his nurse, for whatever reason, was not around to immediately attend to him. As a result, 75% of his brain is damaged. This hurts my heart. Yes, I know that cancer exists. Yes, I have lost family members to cancer. Yes, I know people that are battling cancer right now. So, why am I so moved by this story you ask? I am asking myself the same thing. I am asking why Magic Johnson has lived for so long with AIDS and this baby has been sent home to die at two years old. The fact of the matter is Magic has more money and resources than Jonathan's mother. Can the community come together to help in his fight? I have read that there are some cases where children have beat the odds and repaired from brain damage. I have cried and cried for this little boy since I first laid eyes on him. I believe that God placed his story in my life for a reason. I have continued and will continue to pray for #JONJON's health and strength. I look at his mother and I ask myself, "How does she do it?" To see your son go from an active one year old to a totally different child in less than a years time is enough to drive you crazy. His mother is so strong. In fact, I believe we are the same age. This woman tries to keep a smile on her face and trust and believe that God is going to have the final say in her son's life. I can truly say that the two of them have made me look back over my life and re-evaluate some things. With this business one of the WHY's that we speak about during our presentations is donating to charity. I always looked at that and dismissed it. I was in the mindset that I need to help myself, forget donating to anyone else. Isn't that crazy? Well #JONJON has completely changed my mind on that! I plan to share some of my blessing with ST.Jude Research Hospital here in Memphis, TN. I sit around and wonder why little Johnathan wasn't sent to St. Jude? I wonder why he left unattended that day in the hospital? Why him? Then I sit and think of all the parents and family members of children going through the same things as Johnathan and they are asking the same questions. I've found myself praying so hard this week. I have wanted to ask God why? Why do we have things like this in the world? Most importantly, why do cancers have to do children this way? The only thing I've been able to come up with i that God has a plan for each and every one of our lives. We may not like the plan he has for us, but he has a reason. I pray that God restores this little boy. I pray that every ounce of cancer is removed from his body. I pray that every damaged cell in his brain is restored in Jesus name. I just want to be a vessel for this baby. I want to bring awareness to what happens in hospitals. The doctor's and nurses in these hospitals are humans too, but there needs to be more oversight. People's lives should not be altered when they are supposed to be under a doctor's watch. just thought I'd share the impact this little boy has had on my life. I wish I had the funds to change this situation for little #JonJon. Someone out there does and can help his mother get him better treatment. If you read this and that person is you, please get in contact with his mother. The devil is a lie!
