Ryan deserves a lot of credit for dealing with what he dealt with. Specially with the technology back then. Had to deal with his blood disorder, his AIDS, as well as discrimination and attention he never asked for.
I was in my 20s in the 80s and I remember when Ryan white was on the tv and told us about his story of aids. His life and death changed laws and saved lives. Never forgotten Ryan and thank you sir Elton John for your compassion.

John stayed and helped the family, participated in Farm Aid and kneeled with Ryan's family and friends in the moments prior to Ryan's death. Jackson jetted in after Ryan had died.
He was my hero. I found out my dad had HIV and at 14 years old I was confused but Ryan educated me. Ryan thank you We never met but your story got me through my story. I will always remember Goin
Ryan White wss a brave boy who took on alot,and at the time educated us and taught us about a disease we hardly knew anything about ! The way that community treated him ws wrong in more ways then one,and i am glad that he ws able to live out the rest of his life in a community that accepted him and loved him and still do. Ryan sent me a little note after receiving the letter i sent him that said thanks for writing and caring and he sent me an autograph picture too. I also was able to form a special bond with him too ! On the anniversary of his death or soon afterwards i always do a candle light vigil for him,the last couple of times i called out his name and he came and thanked me with a smile on his face. May he continue resting in Gods peace always and when i get to heaven,i know i will see him thre ! ❤💙😇🙏
What does it mean to inspire others? To lift people up when they are down? Why do some people bring tears to our eyes when facing great adversity? What makes us as people stand just a little taller when witnessing someone else's bravery? Why do some individuals deliver tears to our eyes when we witness their undying will to live? Why? Because in each and everyone of us there is good and compassion that can't wait to be displayed and released. So just like your body needs food and water to grow, open your heart to others so that you too may be a beacon to others. The light that shines from your heart will only inspire others to shine their inner light to others as well.

To a young man who changed the world, who opened our eyes, showed us his beautiful smile and relentless strength….Ryan, you will always be an inspiration and in our hearts. You will never be forgotten, never! I send love to you in Heaven. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL SOUL!
Elton was there and supported him and fought for him. But a hero why ?. Michael Jackson was more reserved but very important. They spent time together in Neverland and Disneyland. Before dying he asked for MJ, the last disk he listen to in his car was MJ's one. Michael Jackson was a very pure heart.
I wish that they would stop saying that Ryan educated them. He moved them emotionally. He made them aware and started a discussion on important social issues. People throw around education as if it means so many different things. Most weren't at all influence by the data or educated. They found his story compelling. They still didn't understand HIV/AIDS or any other infectious disease much better than they had before learning about him.
Some people born to take on himself too much pain and injustice. But people like Ryan have something that not of this world. I think they are like angels, who sacrifice himself for the others.
This discrimination this kid faced because of fear was incredible. Wow. It's amazing how far aids and hiv research has come today.

Michael Jackson was even more involved than Elton John, he went straight to Ryan's home the day he died and comforted his mother.

I remember learning about Ryan when I was a little girl in elementary school. I’m 38 now and I still think of him.
I’m 43 and I still think of him
Im 46 still he is in my heart ❤
“Ryan couldn’t win this one” he won, he made so many changes.
He was my hero.
I found out my dad had HIV and at 14 years old I was confused but Ryan educated me.
Ryan thank you
We never met but your story got me through my story.
I will always remember Goin

So sad. God bless his soul 🙏
I remember seeing the movie in 5th grade 😢
👼 Ryan
This kid was treated like shit, I was 9 when Ryan died I read an article about him 4 years after his passing, what treatment if any is available now?
Plenty. Hiv is no longer a death sentence. It can be controlled better than diabetes arguably.
Drugs that make the virus undetectable in the body - and that prevent the spread

Sad to think if he were still alive he'd probably be a husband and a father. Such an unfortunate loss.
Ryan would be 50th Dec 6th
The word hero gets thrown around a little to casually these days but in this case it's well deserved. Ryan white was a true HERO. RIP
Bush Sr. Acting like he did anything whatsoever to help the aids crisis instead of helping his buddy Reagan enable the epidemic makes me sivk
He had the AIDS Counsel
i never knew who this young hero was RIP SWEET YOUNG SOLDIER
thank you
Woke us all up
I feel sorry for this kid😢
May he continues to rest in peace.
After all these years, I still think about him.
Ryan was such a sweet soul. Rest easy sweetheart. ❤️
Elton John really became the biggest hero. Ryan never gave up and Elton was there every step of the way.
Don't forget about Michael Jackson. He was there for him and friends with him during Ryan White's short life time.

God rest his soul

🎶🎶🎶❤😇
Rip Ryan White he was bullied because aids he didn't ask for it 😢

April 1990
At least we know he is still happy as he always was
He is not happy, HE IS DEAD, he no longer exists, he died many years ago after much suffering.
