  • Minnesota Lynx's Alexis Jones and her brother, Andrew, survived a car wreck that left their father paralyzed from the chest down. A decade later, Andrew - a guard at Texas and an NBA prospect - was diagnosed with leukemia. This is the story of a family’s perseverance through adversity.

      They've never been through anything like this before and think true stories like this are scripted and that real people don't face adversities like this until it knocks on their front door then what! 😡🤔 Oh now you can relate; now you want sympathy! 😫

    It’s stories like these that make me not to give up on my dream. And may everyone who took his or her 16:36 minutes on this, never give up. We are all born for a reason and a purpose. Fight for it and when you get it, feed it. You are born for great things. Thanks to the JONES

    This video came on my time line out of nowhere. I really needed it. I knew I was going through my own trials and tribulations, but watching it at this precise time confirmed everything. We go through life in stages and each step we take forward come with challenges we must face. Some overcome and some get demoralised by them. Nevertheless, we were given all we need to rise above to become stronger, compassionate, responsible human beings. That’s the purpose. So never get too low or too high. Take it and move on. Some days you lose and some days you win, but what’s important is you never give up on calling Allah (God) to give you strength to persevere...
