My teenage son had a dental surgery in October 2022 triggering a rare autoimmune disease we didn't know he had (GPA Vasculitis). This caused bleeding in his lungs which ultimately impacted many organs but damaged his lungs to an irreparable point. He recently had a double lung transplant in May 2023. He has given me permission to share his story ❤️

I donated, and honestly I WANT my money to be used for whatever Lonnie wants
You were very transparent about the gofundme. I donated twice and I don't care what the money goes to as long as Lonnie is ok and he approves! Have a great time in Florida!!!
You guys have been through a lot and deserve to go make memories. Lonnie Jr and your whole family deserve it. ❤
As someone who contributed to the GoFund campaign, it was given unconditionally for your family to use as deemed appropriate, and that is your call, not the viewers. Please don’t feel obligated to explain and ignore the haters!! Love your family!
THIS!!
You are so transparent no-one should be disappointed in how the money is being spent. Go make as many memories as possible while Lonnie Jr is able to enjoy them. Hopefully he will make a full recovery and not need another transplant for many years but your whole family has been through this journey with him although the smaller children luckily don't realise how ill Lonnie was. Enjoy your holiday to the full!!!! Xxx
I donated and I’m SO happy that Lonnie is here with us to celebrate his victory with his family ❤
I donated and sent some love from Lonnie’s Amazon list. I EXPECTED it to go to Lonnie! I am not sure where those with issues think it should go? Best or worst- it was always for Lonnie.
Florida here comes the crew. Have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute. Time to look forward!
I had a brain aneurysm when I was 35 and somehow survived. My mother took me to Disney two weeks after I was released. She picked up the celebration buttons and wrote "Today we are celebrating... LIFE" on our pins. I still have them and they mean everything. Enjoy the trip.
Ok so I love this and will be doing it. What a sweet idea and memory you get to keep
I am actually super happy he gets to use the money for things that bring some joy!! You all deserve to have such a blast in Florida. And just seeing Lonnie with the car is absolutely brilliant 💙💙💙
Girl! You’re such an amazing mom! I’ve been following your family for a long time! Lonnie Jr. deserves every penny. No child should go through what he went through. Your family 💯 deserves a vacation!
As if life weren’t hard enough for you, you then have a year of near death with Lonnie Jr. You are an amazing woman! Enjoy your family. Take time to breathe. Be on vacation, you ALL need it! Consider it a Celebration of Life ❤
No problem here. I donated in case you needed the financial support. I'm thrilled that you get to use the funds for a family vacation. Go make those memories!! You need some great ones to override the tough ones. I'd much rather that then for a big final send off for Lonnie Jr. 😊 Although you should be able to apply the money however you and Lonnie Jr see fit, I understand your need to be transparent. That certainly helps slow down the rumor mill.
You have been nothing but 100% transparent. I am SO SO SO excited ALL of you get to go to Florida! And THAT CAR! OMG! She is a BEAUTY. Congratulations Lonnie! Very nice choice! ENJOY IT! All of it. It took a lot t get here!!!!
I cant wait to see yall enjoying florida,seeing the kids happy and Lonnie jr smile is everything!
Love y’all so much I have been a following y’all since before you hit 1,000 subscribers, literally watching your kiddos grow up through a screen and just the knowing that he gets to live is amazing . Go enjoy Florida honey this past year has been rough on all of y’all
You are a wonderful Mum. It’s extremely hard on your family to watch Lonnie go through a DLTX. I’m very lucky that I live in Australia and the government paid for my transplant. The health system is very different over here. I also have a son who has Autism so we have a few things in common. Your holiday plans sound wonderful! I’m sure you and the kids will have a fantastic time. 🌹
You and your family have been through so much! Its time to take a trip and enjoy some good times. Blessings🍀
You are a class act; your transparency and honesty is truly admirable. Tomorrow is promised to no one; enjoy every minute with your beautiful family.
... life is for the living ... so live your best ...only go around once ya know ...
Sitting over here crying when you started to tear up 🥺 You guys deserve this trip and I hope you all have the BEST time!!!
You’re such a strong amazing woman and mom. You deserve a break, a trip out of reality. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Enjoy your trip!
You are correct about 1 thing, it IS your job to support your family. This means, using your children to provide you an income is not you supporting your children. Showing them on social media is exploitation, it is expecting them to work and support you and themselves. Sharing their personal stories to the world is NOT teaching awareness, it is exploitation. It is sharing personal information that is not your right to share, these younger kids are not able to give informed consent.
Can I ask why you even watched this video then if it was of zero concern to you? This is what most of us want is to hear others story's as every autistic child is different,iv even started making my own videos to show how my son is too,if you had any idea how hard it is to get your child assessed then you would appreciate these videos alot more as gives tips and ideas,grow up and if you don't like them don't watch them simple as that
@@Autismfamilymacrid what makes you think I watched? My concern is for the child being exploited for views and money. It is possible to tell your story, to educate WITHOUT showing the child or giving out their personal information without informed consent. Why does my opinion matter to you?
Oh not that your opinion matters, my 1st son died from MS and my 2nd son is autistic, my daughter has Downs. Never once considered filming them for comments, views or money. But if you don't care about their privacy, then go ahead its not illegal YET.
@@jilliant.4550 even more of a reason to not comment when you never even watched it 😂
@@Autismfamilymacrid don't have to watch when thumbnails all tell the truth. When you feature children's faces in your thumbnails, its exploitation.
Enjoy every moment with your son and all of your children!
I donated and tbh I don’t care where the money goes, It’s not like you’re using the money to live lavishly or just using it on yourself. This experience must have been insanely hard not only on you and Lonie Jr, but your family as a whole. Guys, treat the family! Go to Disney, make those memories! ❤
Thank you!
I am so happy you are taking this special trip!
Im so glad your going on a trip and that Lonnie was able to buy a few things. I hope everyone has a great time and that Lonnie stays as healthy as possible. And of course for the rest of the family to be healthy as well
I donated because I cared for you guys. If you give money to someone it’s their choice how they spend it no explanation needed. Remember that Steph
Absolutely! We don't donate with Limitations or Rules. That's Ridiculous! We Donate out of Love & Care.❤
I hope you all have the trip of a lifetime ❤
I’m so sorry that you are having to explain how you are doing your finances, I donated because I was giving y’all a gift: I feel that a gift can be used how you want with no recourse taken, you are a terrific mom and I’m not worried about how you want to handle your finances, that is your private business. I’m so happy that y’all are planning the trip to florida still! I know all the kids will enjoy the theme parks and I’m so happy that Lonnie Jr is able to go and have some much needed fun ❤❤❤
Live life to the fullest! Your family deserves it ! ❤🎉 praying for your family for safety and blessings
You are a great mom. If people have issues with how the money was-is spent, that's their problem not yours or your family.
i cannot even begin to fathom you and your families perseverance through this time. It’s hard work to not be stressed and worried about the future but just live, love and cherish the present with your kids❤️💗
People shouldn't give money if they can't handle the fact that they don't get to micromanage how it is spent. Once it's donated it isn't their money anymore. Now if you were scamming people saying you had a sick kid when you didn't that would be one thing, but that is obviously NOT what's happening here.
I don’t even think the people complaining donated. I honestly just don’t think they like me and will look for anything to critique.
Live it up!!!
Whoever gives you any grief is crazy! First of all, only parents with A LOT of children know that it is not easy to travel with children. It’s hard, so I know you’re doing this for the love of your children. You’re amazing, and it warms my heart to know your babies are going to have an amazing time together as a family. Life could’ve been so different for you all, so YES LIVE IT UP!!! And make every moment count.
Your family has been through so much you deserve this trip if anyone thinks otherwise then they don't support you
... you have to watch your mental health as well ... the break from the atmosphere will do you both good ... imo ...
You all have been through the ringer. Time to have a fantastic trip and enjoy family time in Florida 🎉.
I donated and happy for you to do as you see fit ! I did not donate with any stipulations in mind have a wonderful trip your whole family deserves this after the trauma you all have been through
I am soooo excited for you and your family and your family trip 😭you are a good mom and doing the right thing for lonnie jr and the rest of your family ❤
I don't understand these people who put strings on their gift! It is not a gift if you are upset with how the gift is used! Let it go, people!! Be happy for Lonnie Jr's recovery....that is the most important thing!!
Love you back!! I think you are a wonderful mom and UA-cam! You are honest, true to yourself, and just all around a wonderful person! Your kids are so lucky to have you as their mom!! Keep up the good work, Steph! I support you 100%!! 🥰🥰
So happy you guys to get this trip. You all deserve this ❤
You and your family don’t have to answer to anyone. Make some wonderful memories on this vacation ❤️❤️❤️
we all make decisions with the information we have at hand. we react and respond as we know whats going on. We adjust and move on as it progresses. in the future knowing you ( as far as i know) you will pay it forward in your own way, shape and form. You have never to my knowledge ever been selfish in nature.
I look so forward to see your trip to Florida, i hope you will have a fantastic journey , you all need a break , being with a sick child so long at home and hospital is hell, believe me we know how it is to know your child might die.. enjoy everything you can ❤❤❤
i wish i could have donated but i couldn't if i did i understand he should get what he wanted! i never really write comments but i watched for awhile and he really did kick some butt way to go enjoy yourselfs you all deserve it
Amen I pray you guys have the most amazing time in Florida I thank god he made it an is going on vacation thats wat matters
I admore your strength. It's not anyone's business how you use the money that was gifted to your family. God bless you and your family!
Girl, y’all go make TONS of awesome memories!
Oh my so sad you feel you have to explain this … you where so transparent on go fund me page … just enjoy every second with your beautiful family … look forward to hearing about your trip … and thank god Lonnie jr is doing so well ❤
I would just like to say if people are giving you a hard time then shame on them. I donated and I would do it again if I could. Because life is precious and he deserves whatever makes him happy
I think it's great that you are trying to make memories as a family. Try not to worry about the negative comments. ❤
❤ hope you all have a great trip. You all deserve it
Looking forward to knowing that you will be enjoying yourself as a family in florida
Bruh all them days crying in them car and being the parent of a child who could perish and autistic children you deserve all the support you can get. What you choose to do with that support is your business and whoever says otherwise leave it to us the real supporters. We’ll get them together quickly. LOVE FROM NYC !! ENJOY FLORIDAAAAA !!!!!! You go Lonnie !!
Eagerly waiting for Florida vlogs ❤I’m in Tampa and I love it here
I actually miss Tampa a lot, especially during the summer lol
Forget those haters! Lonnie Jr., like the rest of us, deserves to enjoy his time on Earth. I hope you guys have a time in Florida ❤️
You deserve a vacation with your family ❤ we knew what we were donating for. You guys deserve a break and to have fun!!
Its like the tim mcgraw song "live like you were dying" but literally because each mo.ent should be cherished with your son!
Steph!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! I love you guys! One day maybe I can meet you all or I'll be lucky enough to run into you here!! I'm a Denver native but I'm all over the state!
You all absolutely deserve to go to Florida. Lonnie especially yall should live every day as the last. With everything yall have been through i cant imagine.
We love you too I 100% agree
That is awesome that insurance paid for everything that is almost unheard of in the US
We are very very lucky
Hi Steph I think that’s great I do not have any problem even though that I never don’t either but I think that’s a great idea. He got a new car out of it that is really really nice of people doing that.
How do we find your stay store?
There’s a link in the description 🥰
I love you guys!
I appreciate the explanation, owed or not. That’s a lovely car!!!
Love you so much ❤
Yeah after everything he’s been though I’m glad he’s gaining something from this hard experience
What you CHOOSE to do with this money that people DONATED(no one was held at gun point and told to donate or else) is no ones business. Let me see some comments of haters & Ill gladly tell em how it is. Your son was literally on his DEATH BED.... people are so damn insensitive. I hope you have the BEST Disney/Florida trip and tell Lonnie Jr im SOOOOOOO jealous of that sick new ride he has :P ALL The LOVE and ALL The light. Keep on keeping on
I would feel the same way you do , but you don’t owe anyone anything….. when people they donate money they’re not donating with stipulations at least I didn’t and I don’t think most did! We love y’all and you guys deserve a fun trip no matter who paid …. Plus it’s no one’s business! Hugs and have fun on vacation!!!
When people donate money, it is not their money anymore. I don’t feel you have to tell us what you’re using it for. They DONATED/GAVE you the money. Do what you please with it. Enjoy your life & your son. So happy he’s ok ❤ So happy you’re ok.
I am so glad your son is doing better and gets this trip.
I started a gofundme for my husband who had a lung removed 2 months ago today. Unfortunately it didn't do well.
I'm glad yours worked out for you!!!! My hubby only had a lung removed so I can't even imagine what you and your family have been thru. Enjoy that trip!!!!!!!!!!❤
Love to all of you. Have a great time.❤️❤️
Hun you do not have to explain to anyone. Your family has been through so much and you are a hard worker. I haven't donated yet but I will be.
I'm sure people that donated would want you guys to have a vacation! They should be very happy that's where the money is going! And be glad it's not going to a funeral!! GEEZ!!!!
Awe this video made me smile 😊
Wondering how you are and how your health is? I came across your health video from a year or two past recently and never heard an update.
I am doing better than last summer! It's still a little hit and miss but I am trying to lose weight right now to improve my health.
A transplant of any sort is serious! It means that the patient may not make it through it. You said the money was for lonnie for what whatever he wanted to spend it on from the first time you sent it up.
You need to stop worrying about what people think and just do what’s right for you and the family
You weren’t being over dramatic, you were being a mother. If people don’t see that, that’s on them.
For anyone to question you about the gofundme is just ludicrous! I can not imagine going through all you have gone through. I can’t even imagine what your son has gone through! Girl put the haters out of your mind and ENJOY! People decided to donate it was their choice. You are a wonderful Mom and you are not trying to get take advantage of people. God bless you and your family!
It’s so sad that you even had to make a video about this. That was a great idea to let Lonnie decide what to do with the rest of the go fund me money! So glad Lonnie is doing well. 😊Will you be doing Vlogtober or Vlogmas?
Hi Steph!!
Thanks for the video. You and your family have been through so much. You have been very clear about where the money is going to. Sorry to hear some people are reading something into it, that isn't there. Glad Lonnie Jr. is continuing to do well. I hope you all enjoy your FL trip. Look forward to your next vlog. :)
I will support you I want to donate to you guys I have autism and your an awesome mom
I love that you are going on a family trip! Memories are priceless!!
❤❤❤
Do you pay taxes on the money ? Just curious because I just do not know .
Use the gofundme money for whatever you like. I’m just sorry that life saving surgery and ventilators are cripplingly expensive in the states, and has the potential to change a family’s fortune so drastically.
It wasn’t the surgery cost that created such an issue, that was paid for but it is the time I was away from work which would happen in any country unfortunately
I love watching your UA-cam channel
❤❤❤❤❤
Do not worry about what the trolls say. You should not ever have to explain yourself... ❤️🙏🏻❤️ You and your family have been through enough. God bless y'all ❤️🙏🏻❤️remember that we love you and your family we got your back ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I have question for you over lung transplant. What happen if you have chest infection you dont get medication for it can it lead to lung rejection or lung damage from it if left untreated?
An untreated chest infection can get very bad for someone with transplanted lungs. The infection itself would likely keep getting worse and if not kill them, at least cause serious damage, yes. The infection would always be treated, to avoid that
@@unknownentity7964what happen if they dont get medication for chest infection would happen then?
you dont owe anybody anything & dont forget that!
Why would anyone have a problem with the trip? So weird. I just hope you have the best life! I hope science will advance rapidly.
People always donate money & then want receipts and to dictate what it can & cannot be used for. It's really ridiculous.
❤
Lord, you don't have to explain anything. ❤
Second! Love yall!
You go Gril
So you know my daughter is a single mom and to a child who is on the ASD . We have 1 car and it's hers. We bought it used. It's a 2005 Cadillac and we fill like the couple that sold it to us knew it was messing up. Took it to the shop last week to find it has blown head gaskets. Nobody wants to fool with it They say it's more costly to fix it than it's worth. So I have a channel that hasn't been growing too well. Do you think it bad of her to start a Go Fund me for that? Nothing to get rich on but to pay off the loan of the car so she can trade it in. Please advise me on this. Don't feel bad to say no Thank you
I don’t think it would hurt anything! I hope it all works out ❤️
