Living with a Facial Difference and Hoping People Say "Hi"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2023
- Madisynne lives with a vascular anomaly that causes a facial difference and impacts the way she communicates. She waves at people when they stare, but others often respond by looking puzzled or confused. Whenever somebody does wave back, Madisynne excitedly tells her mom, "They said hello to me!"

I went to school with a guy with the same diagnosis. He’s now married, has a beautiful family and a son, and a great career. That gorgeous girl has a bright and amazing future ahead of her!!
Me too. In NJ? He was a nice guy and just wanted friends. I was never in any classes with him so we never really crossed paths but I’d see him around the halls.
That’s very cool!❤❤
That's great!💞
Not all stories end like that
but it gives hope and that makes a huge difference @@jayure1346
I love her mom!!! She just radiates so much love and positive energy and is a great influence on Madisynne. ♥️
She's great! Madisynne's grandma is awesome too. Love these sweeties ❤❤❤
I wanna be Madisynne AND moms friend lol. They both seem like such sweet souls❤
Everytime I get depressed about the world or even feel suicidal. No matter how down I am I'll sometimes see this channel and cry tears of joy. Only the purest of people are featured here. I love them all.
💞💕💞
It sounds like you have it rough sometimes. I hope you will get medical care, if you aren't already getting it. I send you a virtual hug. 🤗
@@jeanetteh.9240 Thank you 🙏
If you haven’t done so already, find a counselor to speak to. They will have action items you can do to greatly improve your situation.
@jeremybyington I have close friends and a Christian community that helps me. Literally the only thing that keeps me grounded and alive is my faith. It was a lot worse in my teens and twenties, but I am better at managing it now. I know not to keep it bottled in when it's too intense.
She made me laugh when she said "I'm not going to beat him up" to her mom. Great girl with a great attitude. I wish her the best and happy life.
We are all deserving of equal consideration ❤️

I'm so thankful for these videos. I've raised my 11 year old and 7 year old daughters watching sbsk. In hopes of showing them that are so many people with differences out there that shouldn't stop friendships etc. Because of this, my daughters have made some amazing friends that she may not have met otherwise.
I unfortunately don’t have children, but it occurred to me that I would likely do the same. I’d certainly hope my kids would wave back and play rather than look puzzled, and I think these videos would help in achieving that. Good job 👍
That is so awesome. I would love to do the same. Good job mom/dad
You're amazing!
Wonderful!!! Well done!! Differences enrich ALL of US! ❤
I watch these with my kids as well, I think the videos can help kids understand that people who look different or act a bit different have feelings just like them. Also to de stigmatize different conditions not just for children but adults too. Been watching sbsk for quite a few years now, I love how much of a goofball Chris is with the kids he interviews ❤️
What a lovely, clever little girl. My kids would definitely wave back and play with her!
That's so wonderful! You must be such a proud parent!❤ Thank you for teaching your kids so well! We need more of that in this world!🥰
They are far from perfect, but they are kind, which is more important than anything else I work with people with disabilities though, so they are exposed to all different Kind of people. I think that makes all the difference.
@@futoooob You seem to know my kids.....or you're just a negative troll - which is it? I work with lots of people that have disabilities and/or different looks, so my kids learned to interact with them as they would with anybody else.
She's such a pure soul, full of love. We can all learn from her.
You’re kidding??!! A lot of people don’t wave back??? That is absolutely disgusting and tragic. Hi Madisynne!!!😁
Exactly. They must be some miserable and pathetic people. How could you not wave back to such a sweet little girl?
@@jeremiahallyn4603The mum was talking about kids, please watch again.
Kids are the harshest critics.
we're talking about little children here...
Even As a kid myself it's still surprising that no one waves back
Madisynne, here’s a bajillion waves: 👋🏻🌊👋🏻🌊👋🏻🌊👋🏻
I just love the vibe of this whole family unit! You all radiate positivity and resilience and seem like you’ve done a great job crafting a wonderful and supportive environment
I can't stand the level of adorableness when children play with Chris
I watch a lot of these interviews, and I’m always left with something to think about, but I am very struck by the love and chemistry between this mother and daughter. I don’t have any daughters but I do have 3 sons and I want to commit to treating them with as much love and respect as this mom treats her wonderful daughter. Wow.
My cheeks were actually hurting. I didn't realize I was watching and smiling the whole video. What a sweet girl. She seems so astute, especially for her age. She's going to grow up beautifully. She's already very strong.
she really doesn’t seem astute or more intelligent for her age at all. i guess it’s impressive she speaks at all looking like this. but she’s no more intelligent, advanced, or charismatic than any other child her age
@@alexadec23334how can you possibly know any of that from this five minute clip? Your ignorance is astounding, I can only assume that you never felt heard or seen in your own childhood
@@alexadec23334are you her therapist, teacher or friend? No. Then your opinion is of no relevance
Her brother is absolutely beautiful too. What a beautiful family. Mum you are raising such wonderful children.
Oh that mom !!! 💝💝💝 What a saving grace she is to her daughter. She is 110% in tune with her. What a beautiful relationship and tribute to mother/daughter connections!
Such a beautiful little lady! Thanks Chris for giving kids and people like this a voice
You guys are doing so much good, diminishing stereotypes about awesome, curious and warm folks like Madisynne.
I disrespect people who are proud of their cynicism, but sometimes it rears it's lazy head in me too, and videos like this - people like you guys - remind me that it's all about warmth and love, no more, no less, as tough as it gets.
Sorry, went on a tangent, all I want to say is - thank you and be well, and anyone in a darker place reading this - try to remember, you are loved.
This is an absolutely beautiful comment.
@@MrDuneedon Thank you for making me smile!
I don't know any other channel that has a comments section so full of awesome and kind people - it doesn't surprise me, but I genuinely appreciate it none the less.
Thank you for this, and I know exactly how you feel regarding cynicism. I’m a real smart…mouthed guy, but love is where it’s at. Love is more valuable than gold. I try to remember that and be/stay a better man. Comments like yours really do help, so thank you again! Much love, my friend.
Blessings for Madisynne and her mother
Chris is going to be such an amazing father , he’s already an amazing human
Chris, I love what you are doing with SBSK and showing the world these really special people and allowing them to share their stories! Thank you!!
Oh my goodness, what a delightful little girl! She's so smart, creative, imaginative, and loving. It hurts my heart to think that people would be put off by a facial difference, and miss out on how wonderful she is. My prayer for is that no one will ever make her feel sad or less than because she is herself.
From one person with a facial difference to another, you are so beautiful Madisynne ❤️ hope you know that and in case you doubt yourself I'm sure your mum will keep reminding you :)
Sweet kid with a loving family.
Yes!
The little girl and her mom are both such sweethearts!
Here's a lot for waves from me to Madi! 👋👋👋 You're a beautiful person inside and out and your art is amazing! ❤️
Hey Madisynne! Omg your little pigtails are adorable, I love them so much 🥺 I really liked your video too, it was so nice to hear you tell us about yourself!
When the Mom and the little girl were talking about having 5 friends, it just broke my heart. I can just imagine how it must feel for that beautiful little girl to wave hello to another kid and get ignored back. It must break the mother's heart in pieces to have to pretend everything is okay in front of her daughter, when the little girl is upset because she was ignored. It really bothered me when the mom said that anyone that says hello back gets counted as a friend. That precious girl deserves all the friends in the world. What a strong Mom and little girl.
Madysinne is such a cute, clever girl! So vibrant and really nice.
It's so good to see how her lymphatic malphormation was greatly reduced! And that she doesn't have any other associated diagnosis.
Her mum and family have given her a loving environment as we can see, that's so important!
Eventually, she can have a few more surgeries to be able to breathe in the most comfortable and safest way possible and also be able to feed herself. Her speech will improve when the right time for those surgeries comes, there's no need to rush.
I feel she's going to achieve many goals!
Wishing the best for Madi and her family 🙌🏻
I have the same diagnosis although my "tumor" is smaller and fortunately I have no speech problems. Kids can be spiteful and not accept "otherness" but the older I got the easier it was to relate. Now I'm 36, I have a husband with whom we are thinking about adopting kids, a great job, and friends who are very much okay with how I look. I wish you much patience and best of luck!
Hi, is this condition able to be treated at all..surgery, etc?
GodBless you
Surgery is dangerous no? Wish. She could talk and eat better. Want to pray for and support a surgery.
To Madisynee's mother, I can see the joy in your daughter's eyes. She knows love because you reveal the love and beauty you see in her right back to Madisynne. You care is powerful, as is your love.
i absolutely LOVE that the mom is giving her all the options she could need for speech and communication! oftentimes kids are forced to just speak, but she chooses to on her own along with signing and her tablet! very sweet family 😊
what a precious little angel 🥺🩷
Oh my, this one was so special, she is more .. much more than many folks will ever take the time to know.
“ hoping people say hi “
HI 👋🏻
Madisynne,
I was watching your video with my son who is 4 (and also going to homeschool!) and he thought you were so funny when you were being a dog. He started laughing so hard at each of those parts of the video!
Beautiful girl ❤❤❤❤ I hope some families in her area see this and make playdates for her! I was ultra impressed by her crafts! Those were spectacular!
Madisynne, this is one of my favourite sbsk videos. You did great in this interview, you are a superstar!
💕
One of my favorites too! For sure.
The two letter word. It takes mere seconds to say “hi”. It’s all that’s asked of people and they are incapable of uttering a word that requires very little spelling and little effort. So why is it so hard for people to do?
You have 1 more friend in Singapore. Uncle Anderson cheering you on! Kudos for mom for being a loving support. Lots of love ❤️ and sending positive vibes always…
Update - you will have 3 more friends in Singapore. 🇸🇬 my 3 nieces. So feel free to say hi.. we all love you! ❤️❤️❤️ ps. You know where is Singapore 🇸🇬?
Oh my gosh, her dog eating Chris's hair when it was still sticking out was so cute. Loved the gun show too 💪and little bro "just absolutely losing" 😂 What a lovely family ❤
You have five good friends? You're already doing better than me, little one! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Madisynne is so sweet, and she has a great mum. hope you have a great life, you deserve all the love and happyness you can get. My wife and i say hallo, and we give you the biggest wave and hug you can get...
God bless you, Madisynne.
Aww, Madisynne is such a sweet young lady. Her mom is also so cool and full of love! A wonderful little family, wish them all the best 🫶🙂
What an incredibly sweet little girl…she just melted my heart. My grand kids would definitely wave back and be friends with her. ❤
To whoever is reading this keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this!
Needed that today man. Thank you so much 🥺💜
Thank you so much. I needed this too. Things have just gotten so bad sometimes I don’t know how to even move forward. I hope you’re well also 🖤🌺🖤
thank you very much for the kind and gentle wishes.
Thank you so much!
Just today my new doctor wanted to take me off from my antidepressants (that are my right here in my country by law), just when I'm trying to figure it out how to get in touch with a certain ONG from Switzerland that's seems to be my only hope, but it's really difficult as a poor person from a third world country.
So honestly, thank you 💜
Thank you for this.
I feel a bit silly sometimes that reading comments like yours (someone I don't know) can have a profound effect on how I feel about life/myself, but if it works, it works and that's that.
I love how this channel's followers are so kind to each other. I hope you're proud of yourself too, be well friend, much love and respect to you.
She is the sweetest girl!! She melts my heart ❤️!
She is a beautiful little soul!! I love your videos and what you do for these amazing individuals ❤
Sweet sweet girl!! I love when she says the biggest lesson she wants to learn from mom is the backbend!!!!
Honestly, I often feel alienated looking at the thumbnails, but _EVERYTIME_ I learn about anyone here, I just fall in love with them.
Thank you SO much for your work.
Madisynne, you rock!
Hi Madisynne :)
Madisynne is adorable! Very outgoing. Hope she is able to make more and more friends. I like to think that there’s more kind people out there.❤
Aww I would love to say hi to her! I love making unique friends like Madisynne🫶🏻
❤ great comment. i would so love to wave to her every day. and the mom is a superhero.
💖
I love that Madisynne erased Chris's face and then drew back on a little facial difference.🙂 Her brother was very cute with the "Here, I have a surprise for you Chris".😁 Mom is wonderfully raising these awesome kids!
I hope this treasure of a human finds all the love & happiness she deserves~
I truly hope from the bottom of my heart Madisynne doesn't lose her love for others. I know how terrible a lot of them can be but there's so much good out there too and I know the love Madisynne gives will be returned when they find each other.
Madisynne, if you ever read this, you are an inspiration to me at 27. I will do my best to give some love and smiles to those I meet just like you do! Always be yourself. 💕
This video is so beautiful. Just can't help but smile while watching it. What an amazing child and mother.
Hi Madisynne!! Sending so much to her and her family. 💙
These kids are tough and have a lot of grit. It is un measurable the amount of character you have to have in a country that's dogma is that of looks and material things.
Blessings to her and mom
What an adorable, sweet little girl who is so lucky to have such an equally sweet and adorable mom! I want to hug them!
Madisynne that flower you made was absolutely beautiful and so are you! My daughter Maddy loves art too! 🎨 ❤
I love her omg. She’s so amazing and her art is so cool!
WOW! What an amazing sculpture! Madisynne! You got skills!!
I have a voice that people can really struggle to understand, too. I speak when I can, but I use my AAC when they cannot understand me-- I prefer to use sign--but most people don't know ASL... so... yeah. I use an AAC.
Look at her eyes. You can see way past the differences that way. Another great video done.
I loved her from the moment she spoke! She has an amazing mom. My best wishes for both of them !❤️❤️
Hello Madisynne! 😊 I hope you get lots of waves to say 'hello' because of your video 👋
What an amazing kid and family. When she flexed her muscle, I just about lost it. Madisynne is sweet, smart, creative, funny, and is going places. Her baby brother is a cutie too. Their home is full of love and support, and we all need that. God bless this amazing child and her family. 🩵
The way that you can play make-believe with kids is just so heartwarming and shows your intelligence, and deep understanding of children. You are a born leader and teacher. Thanks be to God.🙏🥰👏🏼😀
This was mega wholesome. Thanks again, got your amazing work SBSK
She is so beautiful despite her facial differences and also seems like such a sweet girl! God please protect this angel.
shes an adorable and sweet girl , i can see her strong spirit and i pray for her and her family that they are surrounded by Gods love.
What a beautiful mother and daughter!! So SWEET!
What a sweet little girl and a wonderful mom and Gigi!!! Thank you for allowing us to meet such amazing people through your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a sweet kind spirit she is a good kid God Bless Her.
I would wave back to her all day. Such a sweet girl, and you can tell her momma loves her to bits
another beautiful video! Thank you so much for these, it always brightens my day to see one and i always learn something new. These stories bring so much joy and knowledge, it's incredible.
Madisynne is an awesome young lady. Thanks for introducing us to this family. Hi, Madisynne!

Ooh wow what a personality. Love her and Mom! I'M WAVING HI‼️ 👋🏾❤️👋🏾

True Dopeness...

"!HELLO, Sweet girl!" 🌻🌈☀️
As soon as I saw your face on the video thumbnail I had to click and watch because I saw the most beautiful person. I was filled with joy at your smile. I needed to know your story. If I am blessed to meet you one day, I promise, I will wave back like a crazy gal
🎉💜😁
This beautiful soul is blessed to have such an amazing mother. I wish i could do something as important as the work this channel does. Its definitely an inspiration.
Hi Madisynne. What a great interview. It was super wonderful getting to know you. Mom you are the best. You have such sweet energy. You and GiGi are doing an amazing job. ❤❤❤
The mom is so sweet! God bless them and I pray they have long fulfilling lives
What an amazing little girl, and mum is pretty cool as well. ❤
Madisynne is beautiful inside and outside. She is a complete delight. Her family is supportive and loving. Uplifting video. Thanks Special Books...
Love this family, all of them seem so kind and fun. Perhaps if Madi can join a small creative group of children in a club or similar it would be good. Pottery club?
Such a wonderful girl. May God bless you and your family with happiness and joy!
She's so cute and her mum has such kind eyes! beautiful family
You have a beautiful soul young man. You are living proof that angels do live amongst us. Thank you for being you.🙏❤🙏
She is beautiful! To know a simple wave locks you in as her friend shows what a precious girl she is!❤👋👋👋👋❤
Beautiful soul , beautiful girl. Life holds such good things for you as you are loved and momma will make sure you are given every opportunity.
Love to you and your family from a new friend in UK 🇬🇧 !
Ask momma to show you where it is on the globe.
Love Janice 🇬🇧 ❤️ x
Beautiful precious Madisynne & her mom. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Anyone that wants to be Madisynne’s friend is very very fortunate.
