    Hi. I have cerebral palsy. I came across this whilst doing research for my page, and your video is great for spreading awareness of rare diseases. I also try to spread awareness of conditions other than my own. I've shared the link and your daughter is cute.

    But I read where they have made great inroads with medication to slow the progress of this cruel disease. I pray they can get it on the market soon.

    Millions and Millions o dollars are spent on social programs:
    Welfare
    Section 8 Housing
    EBT Cards
    Free College
    Free Groceries
    Free "Rent"
    Free Childcare
    etc.
    That money *Tax Money* should be used to find *CURES* for children.
    Nothing will change unless We the People rise up and demand that our children come first. They are our future.
    May God Bless this family.

    I used to think I had this disease...I wanna spread awareness of this heart-wrenching disease. I know that kids like me with this disease will be cured someday. And I can't wait for that day.
    Lots of love,
    Ashley ❤️
