I would deffinitly try contact Johnson and Johnson pharmaceutical. Im from europe , but i worked at the clinical studies department at Johnson and Johnson so they do a lot about rare diseases. I Will even contact them if necessary because i still have contact information. And i think it's really interesting.
Can we talk about Mom’s accomplishment?! She was faced with a lack of research and instead of feeling defeated, she sourced, convinced and funded it. Incredible.
I feel so sorry for the father. The mother is an absolute unit, she's amazingly strong but it seems to me that that father is stricken with grief/exhaustion and hopelessness. In my own personal opinion. He seems fed-up and tired, which is nobody's fault nor do I pass blame. I still find him to be a strong person to cope with this situation, though he copes differently than his wife. I hope I am wrong, I can tell he loves his son but his love for his son is what makes this such a challenge for him, he doesn't seem ready to ever let go of his son, if/when the time comes. Either the mother accepts this and values everyday with him or she has a false hope, which pains me to even say. Again, just my opinion. I wish them the best in life with the best outcomes possible.

Universities should be working on these things...research, testing, seeking cures. Student researchers have a vested interest in finding cures for the rarest/most difficult diseases, because they will become so recognized for any achievements/advances that they contribute to.
Funding for research is awarded through committee approval... So not only do you have to know intimately the mechanisms of these rare conditions, but likewise you also have to have a promising lead toward a novel contribution in the field before obtaining the resources necessary for the research. While it does occasionally happen, it is very unlikely that a committee will be handing over an appreciable sum of money to student led research groups.

Look, I live in a country where health is a public matter, it’s paid with taxes and it’s controlled and managed by the government, yet these diseases aren’t researched due to the same reasons: it’s not worth investing public money on a cure that is only going to help a handful of people. Not that I agree on this way of thinking, just wanted to clear up that grass is not always greener on the other side (unfortunately).
Even when it's public, having limited resources means that they can't research everything, they have to prioritise. We could allocate enough resources to make it happen, there is no shortage of millionaires or billionaires buying islands and evading taxes... The funding system for healthcare would have to change a lot
This woman needs to write a book and her story put on screen. She is AMAZING. It can be called Orphan Disease. People will be activated. Chris can be be in the movie.😊
How many dollars would you spend to save his life, bearing in mind that those dollars could be used to save other people (maybe -- severely likely -- more people). If you're blatantly wrong about this fact, what other things are you wrong about?
@@olander0808The crux of the issue is that we shouldn't be pitted against each other for funding. Everyone's life matters, regardless of how common or rare their condition is. There's plenty of money in the world to create treatments for everyone, if we prioritized that.
@@miracleformaxin scientific and medical communities spending money on one disease is taking away from funding another. There’s truly not enough money to research and cure every disease

I'm in tears hearing this mother's dedication to finding a suitable professional to help them. She is the definition of an advocate, a wonderful parent. Then hearing the doctor fight for funding and clinical assessments to be done. No one should EVER have to hear "enjoy your child while you can, we aren't going to help you."
Hats off to this mother! She did all the research herself, campaigned on social media, talks like a doctor now and got the funding that she wanted. 👏👏👏

Absolutely powerful parents. For mom to admit that she feels like she walking in the dark, but she keeps going…it’s incredible Dad looks like he is going through it, but the fact that he is going through it is key. Never give up. These are the heroes of society
This mother is soooooooooo incredibly inspiring. Just the way she researched and thoughtfully contacted everyone, from more specialised to more broad studies…and she got her results!!!!!! Ugh, I’m so inspired. What a fantastic mother. And the father as her support system. Social media is so lame, but I’m so happy she was able to use it to her advantage to get the funding for the phase one, which ultimately led to full funding for research study. YOU ROCK, mama!! And your baby is so cute!!

The researcher’s method to work on the child with TBCD without risking their health is absolutely amazing. This mom is the advocate every child needs! I am so hopeful for this family and every family with a child who is diagnosed with this disease 🙏
Sadly there are hundreds, maybe thousands of ‘orphan’ diseases, children and adults all over the world need help!! It’s not rare to be rare…..if you see what I mean!
Wow... mama, I don't even have words to say how amazing of a woman and mother you are. You are a great example of what a mothers love is. You are so strong and fight everyday to give your son, and other kids the life they deserve. I can't imagine what I would do or where I would start with finding out information like that. You are such an inspiration to other mothers and families with children that have rare disorders. I truly hope Max continues to prosper in life, and you are both so blessed to have eachother.
As a family with 2 ultra rares totally understand the frustration with being the most adult, adult in the room. Here's the condition and ya... go. Max is such a sweetheart, love how he was encouraging Chris to fall over again. So cute! Max has a great mum and dad advocating for him, these kids and adults deserve it too.

Unfortunately its been like this forever here in the USA people are just beginning to known this is fact seeming us to be the worst country for medical help.or research very sad
Like they say countries with socialised health care work on it even less. I'm personally for that but the reality is that the state will invest in treatments that will have the most positive effect on the largest number of people. Investing money in TBCD means investing less money in cancer, Alzheimers or heart disease.
The war machine costs are infuriating. Best wishes to this family. The father looks so exhausted; I can only imagine how the mother feels by days end. You folks are awesome raising this sweet boy.
@@olander0808 and yet, the countries who seem to prioritise it seem to have far worse outcomes in almost every regard compared to a lot of social democracies. Your beloved Capitalism can still exist, it just means the CEOs might not be able to earn quite as much. But in return you get good healthcare, better education and less stressed happier healthier people.
@@olander0808 Did you even watch the video? Most of the money is spent on military defenses, war, foreign countries and many more in the list to include. They don't spend on healthcare because it doesn't benefits them.
It’s not just the profit, it’s also finding a pool of people affected by the disease to test cures on. You do realize drugs are developed over 10-20 years?? They have to be tested on actual sufferers, and if the pool is THAT small it’s very hard to extract data that proves efficacy. And then you’ll be heading to FDA approval which involves MORE testing and trials, and that’s another 5-10. What I can say in regard to conditions like this is that adjacent diseases may have trials pending that you can step into for off label usage. Most trials clump potential disorders the impeding drug can be used for. The best hope is just guinea pigging your kid and if that is unbearable you pull that stuff and let things take a natural course. It’s terribly shitty, it’s like entering the great unknown as an explorer with nothing on your back but I do think for context and ease some of the bitterness and hostility toward pharmaceutical companies it’s best to think of the BIG PICTURE. When I think of a myelin deficiency it’s very hard to consider a viable cure. But I urge people to consider things that used to be a death sentence that are no longer death sentences. Cystic fibrosis for one, Trikafta just came out in the past few years and people are surviving. I think that anything that could help with this could apply to other conditions as well. It’s going to come down to see what it crossover into. Like she brought up the gene involved and finding a researcher who was willing to embark on the issue and advocating for funding…it’s not fair, but it’s one way to get some things done. It’s one good thing about social media.
Wow! Good job guys! Max clearly won the parent lottery. Max you are such a special person. I think you are a superhero. You are going to save other children and their families. Thank you so much Max!
Man what a beautiful little boy and dedicated parents. Self advocation with health is so darn difficult and this family has a mountain to climb. Thanks for bringing this very real struggle to light. I can tell it’s taking everything in her to hold herself together So that she can share her very important message and advocating for their kid.
Wow, you canclearly see how much they love Max. She fights tooth an nails to get a cure for her son to live. I so so hope they will find a cure soon. I wish all of them the best. Thank you so much for your work. You bring hope to a lot of people. Over the years I learned a lot on your chanel which made me a more understanding and empathetic person. Thank you

i watch lots of these videos and this one truly wrecked me more than any other i can remember. The idea that money is the only driving factor for compassion in the medical world bothers me on a level i can't even fully describe. Billions of tax money every year goes to all sorts of useless things, none of them more important than the life of even a handful of children who could be saved, or even just one honestly. Sometimes the cruelty of the world is super hard just to bear witness too as purely a spectator, i cannot imagine how it would feel to be a parent watching their child go through something like this day after day. My heart goes out to you both and anyone else in a similar situation.
I wish you health and cure, Max❤ such a strong and happy boy. Helena, you’re an amazing and strong mom. And dad, you’re an awesome and strong father too. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.
Max is so sweet! It is frustrating that no one will fund research to help these kids. I hope both parents are doing okay. I can't imagine being in their position.
I’m so in awe of the mom for all the work she has done on behalf of her kid, most especially actually through connecting to a researcher and get the funding to let the researcher get more funding. She’s right, those grants don’t just happen on the first try. That is just amazing.
Such a positive attitude you have. I have a grandson that has two rare diseases plus Lennox Gastaut His Mom is positive like you and your husband. Constant investigation Constant looking for help. I feel your heartache at times. However we all LOVE my grandson. He’s amazing. Like your son. What fun. Keep trying. Keep up your head up. 🩷
Мама и папа с большой буквы родители. Дай Бог Вам сил и Вашему малышу здоровья. К сожалению проблемы простых людей нее интересуют правительство ни в одной стране мира. Крис, тебе спасибо за то, что ты делаешь. Ты удивительный человек
My 4 month old daughter was recently diagnosed with an ultra rare incurable and fatal genetic disease and the fact that our children our basically ignored by the pharmaceutical industry because their cure isn’t profitable is sickening. Our children don’t deserve this. This mother is an absolutely incredible woman and I aspire to have the strength and positivity she has. I can still barely function but I know I have to fight for her chance to live a long and healthy life. Thank you for sharing these stories. It’s getting me through hardship.
This is so hard, this family is so strong. Also the mom is so invested on researching everything, her effort is so inspiring and moving. Amazing parents, I bet Max is so happy to have you guys ❤
sending lots of love to the mom. When she was telling about all the people she contacted and all the things she has/is done/doing while still spending time with Max, it sounds so tiring im absolutley impress by her strenght for her child
All the comments about the mom's amazing attitude (and success) about getting help and funding research for this condition are spot on. I also want to acknowledge how mindfully she talks about the lack of funding and effort in finding cures for orphan diseases. Just accepts how it is right now, while working on improving it. Well done, mama! Your family's future looks bright from here, thanks to you! 🙏❤
Mom, you are captivating. You are an inspiring woman. You should be so proud of what you've accomplished, and you didn't give up, and you are finding an answer for your boy. I can't believe how amazing you are. You both are wonderful parents, and your son is the luckiest to have gotten you. To have someone love you so deeply and find a solution to a question with no answering is just inspiring.
Your son is so handsome, such a beautiful soul. Thank you for blessing him with love, however long he has on this earth I am so thankful he got to be a part of your family. Thank you🩵💜
I wish there was an app with lists of orphan diseases. Similar to the Share the Meal app where you could internationally donate any amount you can whenever you can directly to help fund grassroots research
This mother is amazing, her demeanor and outlook is inspirational. I hope she knows that her sons love for life, and happy demeanor is a direct result of her 💛
They’re such a strong, beautiful, and amazing family. Max is so cute and is very intelligent, it’s incredible that he’s able to communicate and even approximate verbal speech despite his condition. And the parents are both so beautifully spoken and devoted to their son. It really is dystopian-I got chills when I heard her say that and now I’m tearing up because it’s so heartbreaking. I wish I could do more to help but I’m disabled with a progressive genetic condition among other things and currently struggling just to support myself.
I live in Canada, a country with socialized healthcare but you still need to jump through so many hoops if you have a chronic condition because stuff like orthotics aren't covered by the government for some reason
Sounds a lot like adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), like the movie, Lorenzo’s oil. A must-watch movie about how the parents invented an oil that keeps ALD at bay. There is no cure.
Chris, gracias por tu labor tan importante para la humanidad, gracias por ayudar, por visibilizar lo que es verdaderamente relevante de la vida 🤍 Un abrazo para esa familia hermosa y fuerte ❤️

Universities should be working on these things...research, testing, seeking cures. Student researchers have a vested interest in finding cures for the rarest/most difficult diseases, because they will become so recognized for any achievements/advances that they contribute to.
Funding for research is awarded through committee approval... So not only do you have to know intimately the mechanisms of these rare conditions, but likewise you also have to have a promising lead toward a novel contribution in the field before obtaining the resources necessary for the research. While it does occasionally happen, it is very unlikely that a committee will be handing over an appreciable sum of money to student led research groups.
Considering the state of most universities....yeah I'm not sure about thay
But they need grants
They need grants

The dad looks so sad bro, i wish the best for this family omg
Mom is a damn trooper. You can tell she’s frustrated and tired, but her attitude is amazing.
Dad seems sad and hopeless, totally understandable. I’m sorry you guys have to go through this situation
Dad loves his son so much .. I see his heart is broken.. the parents need so much love & support. The win is all the love they give Max and strengthening their marriage. They know they are giving everything and will keep fighting no matter what is the outcome.

Wow!!! The POWER OF MOTHERHOOD!!!! This mother is a PRIME example of the lengths a mother will go to for their child…. Times a BILLION! This is the epitome of a SUPERWOMAN! This mother deserves an Honorary Doctorate Degree in the study of TBCD and then an award for hardest working, most devoted, MOST SUCCESSFUL mother ever! Look at what she’s accomplished all out of love for her baby boy! I’m in awe…. This is my Superhero ❤

Both parents are heroes, but here while the dad sits down and griefs, the mom is not giving up. I understand the dad's perspective, but I like the positivite and optimistic mother
This is why the world should forbid medical care companies to be in the stock market....
Health should be a public matter, not a private one

Look, I live in a country where health is a public matter, it’s paid with taxes and it’s controlled and managed by the government, yet these diseases aren’t researched due to the same reasons: it’s not worth investing public money on a cure that is only going to help a handful of people. Not that I agree on this way of thinking, just wanted to clear up that grass is not always greener on the other side (unfortunately).
Did you even watch the video? Not even countries with socialized Healthcare research this disease.
Even when it's public, having limited resources means that they can't research everything, they have to prioritise.
We could allocate enough resources to make it happen, there is no shortage of millionaires or billionaires buying islands and evading taxes... The funding system for healthcare would have to change a lot
@@shuepsx652 exactly, tons of countries have public Healthcare and they don't research rare diseases so the argument above is kinda dumb
This woman needs to write a book and her story put on screen. She is AMAZING. It can be called Orphan Disease. People will be activated. Chris can be be in the movie.😊
Max is so sweet! It’s sad to think that children like he are just a dollar amount, to some. His mom and dad seem like really great parents. ❤
How many dollars would you spend to save his life, bearing in mind that those dollars could be used to save other people (maybe -- severely likely -- more people). If you're blatantly wrong about this fact, what other things are you wrong about?
@@olander0808The crux of the issue is that we shouldn't be pitted against each other for funding. Everyone's life matters, regardless of how common or rare their condition is. There's plenty of money in the world to create treatments for everyone, if we prioritized that.
@@miracleformaxin scientific and medical communities spending money on one disease is taking away from funding another. There’s truly not enough money to research and cure every disease
This is true about all diseases unfortunately, its alll about money. Even cancer industry. They will never give a cure.
@@miracleformaxI'm with you ma'am, 100%. Your son is in there, I can tell he has so many things to say and sooooo much love to give! Miracle for Max !!!
mom is so well spoken and tenacious. beautiful family and i hope the research continues!!!

I'm in tears hearing this mother's dedication to finding a suitable professional to help them. She is the definition of an advocate, a wonderful parent. Then hearing the doctor fight for funding and clinical assessments to be done. No one should EVER have to hear "enjoy your child while you can, we aren't going to help you."
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hats off to this mother! She did all the research herself, campaigned on social media, talks like a doctor now and got the funding that she wanted. 👏👏👏
It is amazing how Chris knows exactly how to interact with each child he interviews in addition to the adults who appear on this channel.
It’s his Gift. Chris is amazing.
What a wonderful family ~ Max's Mommy is a real driving force. She's amazing. No cure ever came about easily, so keep on keeping on!

Wow. I admire his mama's unwavering strength and positivity
The mom is so optimistic and joyful despite everything, truly admirable.
Absolutely powerful parents. For mom to admit that she feels like she walking in the dark, but she keeps going…it’s incredible
Dad looks like he is going through it, but the fact that he is going through it is key. Never give up.
These are the heroes of society
This mother is soooooooooo incredibly inspiring. Just the way she researched and thoughtfully contacted everyone, from more specialised to more broad studies…and she got her results!!!!!! Ugh, I’m so inspired. What a fantastic mother. And the father as her support system. Social media is so lame, but I’m so happy she was able to use it to her advantage to get the funding for the phase one, which ultimately led to full funding for research study. YOU ROCK, mama!! And your baby is so cute!!

The researcher’s method to work on the child with TBCD without risking their health is absolutely amazing. This mom is the advocate every child needs! I am so hopeful for this family and every family with a child who is diagnosed with this disease 🙏
Please let's make a worldwide campaign to help them
Sadly there are hundreds, maybe thousands of ‘orphan’ diseases, children and adults all over the world need help!! It’s not rare to be rare…..if you see what I mean!
@@Thunderpaws111 i get what you mean... still it would be wonderful if more people donated to orphan diseases
Wow... mama, I don't even have words to say how amazing of a woman and mother you are. You are a great example of what a mothers love is. You are so strong and fight everyday to give your son, and other kids the life they deserve. I can't imagine what I would do or where I would start with finding out information like that. You are such an inspiration to other mothers and families with children that have rare disorders. I truly hope Max continues to prosper in life, and you are both so blessed to have eachother.
Max is the most beautiful little boy I ever seen… oh God…I wish God make a miracle…😢💗
As a family with 2 ultra rares totally understand the frustration with being the most adult, adult in the room. Here's the condition and ya... go. Max is such a sweetheart, love how he was encouraging Chris to fall over again. So cute! Max has a great mum and dad advocating for him, these kids and adults deserve it too.
Just needed to say thank you for caring about the disabled and those currently going through their hardships and struggles. I appreciate this channel 😸

No child should suffer because of greedy profit pharmaceuticals .
Unfortunately its been like this forever here in the USA people are just beginning to known this is fact seeming us to be the worst country for medical help.or research very sad
Just to be clear, this is scope insensitivity 101.
I know. Wouldn't it be lovely in any of these billionaires would start to care, or give the money to ones that do.
True
Like they say countries with socialised health care work on it even less. I'm personally for that but the reality is that the state will invest in treatments that will have the most positive effect on the largest number of people. Investing money in TBCD means investing less money in cancer, Alzheimers or heart disease.
The war machine costs are infuriating. Best wishes to this family. The father looks so exhausted; I can only imagine how the mother feels by days end. You folks are awesome raising this sweet boy.
Shameful. The LOVE of Money is The Root of All Evil.
Very true
@@olander0808 and yet, the countries who seem to prioritise it seem to have far worse outcomes in almost every regard compared to a lot of social democracies. Your beloved Capitalism can still exist, it just means the CEOs might not be able to earn quite as much. But in return you get good healthcare, better education and less stressed happier healthier people.
Amen sista…
@@olander0808 Did you even watch the video? Most of the money is spent on military defenses, war, foreign countries and many more in the list to include. They don't spend on healthcare because it doesn't benefits them.
It’s not just the profit, it’s also finding a pool of people affected by the disease to test cures on.
You do realize drugs are developed over 10-20 years?? They have to be tested on actual sufferers, and if the pool is THAT small it’s very hard to extract data that proves efficacy.
And then you’ll be heading to FDA approval which involves MORE testing and trials, and that’s another 5-10.
What I can say in regard to conditions like this is that adjacent diseases may have trials pending that you can step into for off label usage.
Most trials clump potential disorders the impeding drug can be used for.
The best hope is just guinea pigging your kid and if that is unbearable you pull that stuff and let things take a natural course.
It’s terribly shitty, it’s like entering the great unknown as an explorer with nothing on your back but I do think for context and ease some of the bitterness and hostility toward pharmaceutical companies it’s best to think of the BIG PICTURE.
When I think of a myelin deficiency it’s very hard to consider a viable cure.
But
I urge people to consider things that used to be a death sentence that are no longer death sentences.
Cystic fibrosis for one, Trikafta just came out in the past few years and people are surviving.
I think that anything that could help with this could apply to other conditions as well.
It’s going to come down to see what it crossover into.
Like she brought up the gene involved and finding a researcher who was willing to embark on the issue and advocating for funding…it’s not fair, but it’s one way to get some things done.
It’s one good thing about social media.
Wow! Good job guys! Max clearly won the parent lottery. Max you are such a special person. I think you are a superhero. You are going to save other children and their families. Thank you so much Max!
the way you play with these children is truely heartwarming!
Man what a beautiful little boy and dedicated parents. Self advocation with health is so darn difficult and this family has a mountain to climb. Thanks for bringing this very real struggle to light. I can tell it’s taking everything in her to hold herself together So that she can share her very important message and advocating for their kid.
Какая красивая МАМА♥️ Папа очень грустный..сил вам, ребята 🤗😔
Wow, you canclearly see how much they love Max. She fights tooth an nails to get a cure for her son to live. I so so hope they will find a cure soon. I wish all of them the best.
Thank you so much for your work. You bring hope to a lot of people. Over the years I learned a lot on your chanel which made me a more understanding and empathetic person. Thank you

i watch lots of these videos and this one truly wrecked me more than any other i can remember. The idea that money is the only driving factor for compassion in the medical world bothers me on a level i can't even fully describe. Billions of tax money every year goes to all sorts of useless things, none of them more important than the life of even a handful of children who could be saved, or even just one honestly. Sometimes the cruelty of the world is super hard just to bear witness too as purely a spectator, i cannot imagine how it would feel to be a parent watching their child go through something like this day after day. My heart goes out to you both and anyone else in a similar situation.
I wish you health and cure, Max❤ such a strong and happy boy. Helena, you’re an amazing and strong mom. And dad, you’re an awesome and strong father too. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.
🖤🖤🖤 My heart is with Max and Helena and Max's dad.
Your son is beautiful!!! All lives matter, All illnesses/disabilities and those living with them matter.
This mum is a force of nature, bless her, she's fantastic.
Max is so sweet! It is frustrating that no one will fund research to help these kids. I hope both parents are doing okay. I can't imagine being in their position.
I'm not surprised Max is happy and loving .... his mom seems to be content no matter what ... WAY TO GO MOM" keep smiling😍😍😍
I’m so in awe of the mom for all the work she has done on behalf of her kid, most especially actually through connecting to a researcher and get the funding to let the researcher get more funding. She’s right, those grants don’t just happen on the first try. That is just amazing.
It's a true credit to how brilliant our researcher is and how incredibly thorough and promising her work is that she pulled it off. She's our hero!
Thank you for posting. Happy Easter. God bless you! I'll be praying for this sweet child, family and this wonderful community.
Max's mom is a superhero :)
He is such a special "sweet little noodle". God blessed you with such a wonderful boy.
The dad looks defeated 😭 I cannot imagine how the parents must feel
BLESS YOU MAX SENDING LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
❤ donated from Australia. 🙏🏼
Such a positive attitude you have.
I have a grandson that has two rare diseases plus Lennox Gastaut
His Mom is positive like you and your husband. Constant investigation
Constant looking for help.
I feel your heartache at times. However we all LOVE my grandson. He’s amazing. Like your son. What fun. Keep trying. Keep up your head up. 🩷
Мама и папа с большой буквы родители. Дай Бог Вам сил и Вашему малышу здоровья. К сожалению проблемы простых людей нее интересуют правительство ни в одной стране мира. Крис, тебе спасибо за то, что ты делаешь. Ты удивительный человек
My 4 month old daughter was recently diagnosed with an ultra rare incurable and fatal genetic disease and the fact that our children our basically ignored by the pharmaceutical industry because their cure isn’t profitable is sickening. Our children don’t deserve this. This mother is an absolutely incredible woman and I aspire to have the strength and positivity she has. I can still barely function but I know I have to fight for her chance to live a long and healthy life. Thank you for sharing these stories. It’s getting me through hardship.
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🫂
This is so hard, this family is so strong. Also the mom is so invested on researching everything, her effort is so inspiring and moving. Amazing parents, I bet Max is so happy to have you guys ❤
sending lots of love to the mom. When she was telling about all the people she contacted and all the things she has/is done/doing while still spending time with Max, it sounds so tiring im absolutley impress by her strenght for her child
All the comments about the mom's amazing attitude (and success) about getting help and funding research for this condition are spot on. I also want to acknowledge how mindfully she talks about the lack of funding and effort in finding cures for orphan diseases. Just accepts how it is right now, while working on improving it. Well done, mama! Your family's future looks bright from here, thanks to you! 🙏❤
Mom, you are captivating. You are an inspiring woman. You should be so proud of what you've accomplished, and you didn't give up, and you are finding an answer for your boy. I can't believe how amazing you are. You both are wonderful parents, and your son is the luckiest to have gotten you. To have someone love you so deeply and find a solution to a question with no answering is just inspiring.
Your son is so handsome, such a beautiful soul. Thank you for blessing him with love, however long he has on this earth I am so thankful he got to be a part of your family. Thank you🩵💜
Little man said it and he spoke volumes he put up them prayer hands 🙏 well done mom and dad he has you!!!
I wish there was an app with lists of orphan diseases. Similar to the Share the Meal app where you could internationally donate any amount you can whenever you can directly to help fund grassroots research
Me too. If there was even if 100k people that donated a dollar that would be amazing!
Donated $25.00. I hope the research gets funded quickly and finds a cure!
This is why medicine should NOT BE FOR PROFIT. I wish the family the best. That mommy is trying her very best for that baby.
Max is such a sweet soul, and his parents are so admirable. God bless this family.
Precious little darling! Oh how I hope he can be saved. I will donate.
What a beautiful family and what a beautiful boy. Wishing little Max the help and treatment he needs. Praying for his improvement and better health
The mom is is so passionate for the entire family. She is a breath of fresh air. Exactly what a mommy is supposed to be.
Max & his mom & dad are awesome people & I wish them all the best! Donated. 🙏❤️
You are loved family ❤ Max does matter & he's lucky to have parents like you! I have hope & I really pray you get your miracle.
This mother is amazing, her demeanor and outlook is inspirational. I hope she knows that her sons love for life, and happy demeanor is a direct result of her 💛
He is a beautiful child❤
They’re such a strong, beautiful, and amazing family. Max is so cute and is very intelligent, it’s incredible that he’s able to communicate and even approximate verbal speech despite his condition. And the parents are both so beautifully spoken and devoted to their son. It really is dystopian-I got chills when I heard her say that and now I’m tearing up because it’s so heartbreaking. I wish I could do more to help but I’m disabled with a progressive genetic condition among other things and currently struggling just to support myself.
Max is a special little boy with 2 very loving amazing parents 💙
I live in Canada, a country with socialized healthcare but you still need to jump through so many hoops if you have a chronic condition because stuff like orthotics aren't covered by the government for some reason
Such a beautiful innocent precious little soul❤😭
Sounds a lot like adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), like the movie, Lorenzo’s oil. A must-watch movie about how the parents invented an oil that keeps ALD at bay. There is no cure.
Yes! I Was going to recommend watching that movie!
Yes! I was trying to remember other experiences like this and that was a wonderful movie!!
yeah i was just thinking the same thing!
I thought about that movie immediately! Must-see!
Yes, that's immediately what i thought of too! Max's mom is just like Lorenzo's mom, tenacious and focused on never accepting no for an answer!
The mum is so well spoken. I hope they get their miracle.
Sweetest boy with beautiful angelic eyes...❤
My heart is so happy watching the family and Chris interact. Kindred souls. ❤
Chris, gracias por tu labor tan importante para la humanidad, gracias por ayudar, por visibilizar lo que es verdaderamente relevante de la vida 🤍 Un abrazo para esa familia hermosa y fuerte ❤️
Amazing mom! It is very heartwarming to see them get help :3
brooo this title sent me i dont want to give up on the system but how can they not bother with a cure due to lack of profit.... so sad. thank you so much for posting this
Love you, Chris. I would've probably been on your channel if YT was a thing in 88-93. YOU are amazing with the kids and deserve some type of humanitarian award and course on how to interact.
Oh my word that precious boy is a joy!! 💘
Max seems like such a sweet kid. ❤
My heart aches, but there's peace with a family like Max's by his side.
He's perfect just the way he is. And you guys are SUPER PARENTS!
the science behind the research is quite amazing.
Max seems like such an amazing kid! His laughter is contagious. I'm feeling so sad for what his mom and dad have to go through though...
I'm not a child but I've had an idiopathic diseases 20 yrs.... I Love Ur mom and dad energy
This mother is amazing. I love her bubbly personality and determination.
