    Lexie told me that Luis has been incredibly motivated by the messages he has received on his social media. Before the first video he would hide away, somewhat ashamed of his current state. But since the influx of positive messages he has a renewed sense of purpose and dignity. I have linked his social accounts in the description above, keep the positive messages coming. Luis is about to start therapy and could use a team behind him!

    This little girl is so eloquent and her love for her dad. So proud of her to for loving her dad the way he is. There are children that get embarrassed of their parents when they are different. I am going to train my children this way. I want them to know that even though I am disabled and different, I love them. And when they see the love from the parent, they love back. This girl is a model for my children!

      feminine guidance I think she means teach, not train. You can raise your kids and teach them how you want them to act. Obviously they’re gonna make their own decisions eventually. But parents can do their best to teach them the right ways to behave towards other humans

      @Danny Branderson - not just "special needs" people but also babies AFTER they are born. If the mom decides it is too disabled or she just doesn't want it. Sick isn't it? My sister has a son with Down syndrome and he's 30 years old now and is the most amazing human being you'll ever meet in your life. He is happy and content and excited every day. He exudes enthusiasm and the world is a better place because of him. Sometimes I think us 'normal' or able-bodied people need to be more like the special needs people... Happy and Content. Most people always seem to be chasing happiness, where they are just happy with what they have and can do at that moment in time. We can learn a lot from them.

His attitude is so admirable and smile is absolutely infectious. He seems like such a wonderful husband and father. He just radiates love in a way I’ve never observed before. Both his wife and daughter are so strong and full of grace. That little girl is already such a force for good in the world. I am so happy that this family now has the independence and freedom that everyone deserves. His wife is so well spoken and is an incredible advocate on Luis’ behalf. Thank you Chris and Alyssa for once again bringing tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.

    The fact that the first thing he thought of when Chris asked what he liked about the park was “the trees…” I teared up. It must have been so difficult for him to not be able to venture out into nature for so long. He skateboarded and rode motorcycles before his accident, so he’s clearly a guy who loves being outside, feeling the wind through his hair, and seeing what nature has to offer. To have that missing from your life for so long, the thought is heartbreaking. I am so happy to see this beautiful family out and about and enjoying the world.

    To everyone who donated, you did not just change one family's life, you changed the world, you took three people and made them happy and great full and you made all of their dreams come true. Just by a few simple dollars you helped these people do things that might have seemed impossible then, with happiness and joy. You are all amazing and wonderful and I hope this teaches everyone that a little bit of love from everyone can change the world for the better. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

    I am happy he survived the accident. His speech seems to have improved from the last video. I hope his therapy is going well. He is an inspiration and I am happy for him.

    Finally a video with the comments on.
    I will take the opportunity to express myself here about this channel.
    First of all, I love this channel so much. It makes me cry a lot, but I really try not to because I feel that if I cry they would think I feel sorry for them, but I don't want them to think that. I want them to think that I am so happy for these people. The love they give and share with others is incredible. I wish I had the same happiness, love and strength these people have. And to the creator of the channel: I just want to say how grateful I am. Thank you very much for creating this channel and thank you very much for making these videos.

      I was so happy to find a video where UA-cam hadn't blocked the comments. Considering SBSK had their channel blacklisted over a year ago, I'm truly sad UA-cam has not amended their wrong-doings. I hope one day the comments can come back to SBSK so we can all share and spread the love.

      I would like to echo what others are saying here. It is mind boggling the amount of love these differently abled guys generate and receive. I have some awareness of this community but these vids have given me a whole new perspective.
      SBSK please keep these wonderful vids coming. You are doing so much good both by informing the public in a delightful way, enabling people to link with your interviewees and when necessary to fund raise. God bless all involved. Lots of love and prayers from England. PS If SBSK creators ever come to the UK I would be honoured to offer accommodation. XX

    What is a family? THIS is a family. Unconditional love and empathy. Their daughter Clo is so empathetic and empathic. And a skateboarder just like her dad was! Just a really beautiful family inside and out. I admire them and their story fills me with joy. I’m so happy for them.🥰

      @@HAL-dm1eh I mean I think it's amazing that people donate to help people with problems out of their control, it's what makes us human. I was just arguing the point that some people make their living off of UA-cam and since the adpocalypse they haven't been able to earn as much so they ask for donations to keep their channel running. They can't do it for free if it's how they make their living. They could have done it without donations before the adpocalypse, but this is what UA-cam is now.
