That nurse cried, she showed she cared for that young man on a level that not every nurse cares for their patient. She is what every nurse should strive to be as.
No, that's absolutely WRONG thing to strive to be. It's pretty obvious you're not a nurse or don't work in a medical field, or most most importantly - you don't work at all. A nurse is a professional, she has a job to do and needs to do it on a professional level, with precision and attentiveness. Crying and being emotional is not what ANY medical worker should strive to be. Her job is to do her job first and foremost.
@@MrKrabs-zp7on man... when your body is covered in 3rd degree burns the doctors put you in an induced coma because the pain is just unbearable... I can’t even imagine how he goes through this everyday

My heart aches , I had to stop watching , I’m a nurse I know how much pain he is . God bless him , but he such a trooper , I pray they find a cure for him .

Makkenzie you may be healthy physically but obviously not mentally and that doesn't make you less strong than someone with a physical condition lovely. He is an amazing strong kid, but you must be pretty strong too to make it to the end of each day if you are feeling so bad. I really hope you have a good support network xx
Hi, the fact you made it this far and are still here tells me you yourself are stronger than you know. I'm sorry you feel this way. You know, just because mental illness and suffering is not physically visible doesn't mean it's any easier to deal with - or that you're any less for struggling. I know that sometimes even getting out of bed is an impossible challenge. Some days it may even be too hard to overcome. But so far you've made it through 100 % of your days, that's quite an impressive score. I hope things get better soon. Hang in there. And remember that asking for help is never a weakness. Wishing you all the best and sending lots of love!
I know how you feel..and you ARE a strong person to keep going. I find what helps me is doing small things that make me happy....especially being outside grounds me, or being around my pets. They are very therapeutic for me. I also think watching uploads like these make me appreciate what I DO have even more. You are important and you do matter. I have struggled with depression since I was a kid. It never gets easier or really subsides, but learning small ways to take care of it make all the difference. I appreciate your comment and your honesty 💜
Reem Hassan (idk where your comment went, but) I love what you said. "The key to happiness is letting each situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be-Mandy Hale" - that's something I'm gonna need to keep in mind myself.. :)
There's nobody who could know or imagine his pain. It's terrible....He must be scared and desperated, because he's the only one who feel the pain.......It's hard to say, but I wouldn't let anybody to live such a painful life,...i feel just so sorry.
@Bookshelf That's true that there are people who suffer from the same condition. However, the pain is not the same, you can't say that they know each other's pain, because each of them is different people with different mind and body. Maybe, they can imagine each other's pain more than someybody who has no such condition, but they will never know each other's pain.
@Bookshelf They Don't feel the same pain. There are many different kinds of EB. I have EB but mine isn't as severe. I don't feel as much pain as he does
337 heartless people disliked this video. How could even one person dislike it. I live with pain every day but i can not even imagine what this brave boy goes thru.
For some people, I think they pushed the dislike button because it was just so sad/hard to watch. It’s probably a mistake to assume they meant anything wrong by it. Honestly, I can’t click on the like button because my heart hurts for this beautiful boy and all involved. There is nothing to like.
I handle pain so awfully and seeing the pain he had to go through just for a bath makes me feel awful. I hope the best for him and his family. Edit: Thanks for all the likes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alex Tater Tots No I thought so also but that was another child that died in April. This family is actually being given a new house this week. The one that passed in April’s last name was Pitre I think. Someone helped me on another comment when I thought same.
Living with that kind of excruciating pain is not something others can understand who have not experienced pain at the same level that he does. Compassion and empathy are so important.
@Mary Oden thats....a unique thing to say about his situation. Yes he needs pain medication and I'm sure he appreciates any means of escape from his pain but somehow I feel like your comment was a jab at him which is pretty insensitive. That kid is stronger than most and I adore him for his courage.
MrandMrsPaper I pray because I do not have the financial means myself to donate. Trust me, I would be homeless if I donated to every person my heart felt for. 😕
I love this kid. He’s got mad wisdom and happily shares it, even though he has to make himself so vulnerable to the public. He helps a lot of folks. Be like John.
John, I'm 60, and tough but after seeing your courage I am sorry that I can't be as tough as you. You are an inspiration in courage and endurance. You have motivated me as no one else ever has. Gladiators weren't as tough as you! Keep fighting and God bless you.
Instead of funding wars and many other atrocities is this world this is the kind of thing money should be used for, find the cure for horrible diseases like this. What a great kid, his parents and nurse are pretty awesome too
... If we don't do that then everyone will die .. Well not everyone but many will die including more kids and resources will go . That was very stupid of you to comment . That's why it's a thing called donating so we give money to this too .
@Mandi W , War literally saves lives . How stupid are you ? Why else are you and whomever you love are alive ? Yes people die in war however it's to save idiots like you and other actually smart people . That's why people participate in war ... It's to protect the people even if they die . If a person that literally went through war had to see your freaking comment ... I'd pity him/her cause they literally risked their lives just to save an idiot like you however some will still say worth it somehow .
@Mandi W , Yes .. They do give money . Many rich people donate money either out of actual care or just to look good ... They still donate money at the end of the day and it's to actual organizations like to a kids health department and so on . Also , All you gotta donate is at least a dollar to any organization like for kids health or whatever ... It doesn't always have to be to the military cause that's why you pay taxes and where your tax money go but if you don't want to .. That's fine .
@Mandi W , The fact you know no common intelligence is worrying. We learn this in elementary school . We still learn it in middle and HS .. And college cause people are risking their lives to protect others . Why else do people go to war ? War happens to benefit the people and to protect the people and resources .
Just like his skin is being stripped away every day, so is his childhood. I can't even imagine how painful it must be, both physically and emotionally, to have your freedom taken away from you like that. I hope that he will one day be in a good enough condition to do all the things he ever dreamed of doing. Keep fighting, John.
I love how much his nurse cares about him. He needs someone like her and his parents to have patients and as much understanding as they can to what he is going through 💕
Been on youtube since it launched in 2005. Never written a comment. But this person impressed me. Courageous, strong willed. Even though times might be tough, he keeps going. Genuinely inspirational. *And I have to add, he's a cool dude!
Never in my life have I felt such shame at myself as I have now seeing this young child, this human, suffer so greatly when I complain that I have to even get up, make my coffee and work. At least I have a decent life, it’s not all rainbows mind ya but it’s damn great compared to his. The little things we take for granted and he faces that every single day! I just can’t stop my tears. I don’t know you John Hudson Jr but I am praying for you and thinking of you daily and I will live life better from now on bc you inspired me. You are handsome, brave, strong, determined, courageous, smart and inspiring and my love goes out to you, your family and nurse! They are all wonderful and I’m so very sorry for the loss of your father last year. With every tribulation you’ve faced you still are triumphant and deservingly so. 🩵🩵
Damn... I hate seeing kids in pain. My heart goes out to you John. You are a very strong person, stronger than most people. You are my motivation brotha. More power to you young man.
I can see the pain in his eyes when he talks about taking the bath. I’m so sorry that he has to live like that. I hope one day they find a cure for him because he deserves a life beyond the bandages and baths.
Grown: check. Man: check. Crying: check. This young man is an inspiration to anyone with half a brain to understand the strength it takes to have such a great disposition and personality despite all this. Hoping and praying for a cure, thankful for the example he is setting.
And to think about how many times I’ve winced because a little skin peeled off my finger and the way that hurts underwater… There are no words for how terrible I feel for what this child and his family go through. This nurse is also an angel and seeing her get so emotional was heart wrenching. John does definitely seem like a kind soul. Someone needs to find a cure for this. Bless this entire family and their providers.
Trying to hard to cry. I don’t think I’ve really noticed how grateful I am until now. He’s so motivational and strong and deserves the whole entire world. This broke my heart, but trust me you’re one of God’s most special kids! He made you specifically the way you are and you’re unique for this ❤️
The fact that this boy is my science teachers son is amazing, I remember once my teacher couldn’t arrive to class because his son had to get a surgery. I miss you mr.dilgen!!
I wish I could be his friend he seems like such a cool guy honestly. I wish he wasn't in so much pain but I'm glad he's got a supportive family that loves him.
I hope you see this message John. And know that I see you as a Hero. And you inspire me. I cry for you. You are good, strong, great boy! Be in your heart. I'm there.
God bless this child. We take so much for granted and this kid is an angel and appreciates everything he gets . Life is never fair and i pray he inspires other kids to appreciate everything and everyone in their lives. Gratitude and praise to God!🙏🙏🙏
Just because this boy is born different doesn’t mean he can’t live his life to the fullest💓💓. And I give his mom a lot of credit for being a caring mother and nurse💜💜💜💜
Jocelyn Buck - He can’t live his life to the fullest because of his severe health issues. Can u imagine all the “normal” things he wants to do but cannot. This is not a life fulfilled - this is a life of pain & torture. He is barley surviving- that’s not a life 2 me- the whole family is in pain. This is tragic!!!! In that situation u do what u Can to make other people feel comfortable around u & try ur best to find sum sort of “happiness”
Yo! You know what! your a thousand times stronger than any other boys I had meet, no I'm serious! All of them are just saying how "strong" they are, but words don't show anything! YOU are showing what means to be strong)
My heart is shattered completely. No one deserves to got through this. This boy is so strong I want to help him with everything. A literal inspiration.
Barcroft tv thanks for showing us other inspiring stories of people that every day is worth it and thanks for showing us what we are lucky to have and we need to appreciate it. I wish the best of luck for this kid and I really hope he gets better. I'll pray for him. He is very positive and some people need to learn from him and others. I personally couldn't finish the video cause is kinda painful to watch. Thanks you barcroft tv. this is what makes this channel so damm good.
Wolfgang Kenshin The problem is it’s so rare that not enough money is invested into it as it’s not seen as being as urgent as other more common conditions
Jonny Kennedy did up to the day he died. The charity he supported (DEBRA) even made a break-through a few years ago, where skin with EB was successfully treated in the labs! He suffered with the same condition for over 30 years! If you'd like, you can learn about him and his remarkable spirit from another video hosted on this channel: th-cam.com/video/9wg8EtF5SJI/w-d-xo.html It's a pretty amazing documentary. Absolutely heart-breaking, but worth it.
This made me very thankful that I was born very healthy and it made me realize people are not as lucky as I am and that we should be happy with what we have.
Other people in his age (including me) worry about getting their first kiss and stuff and he can maybe never even go outside alone...I think everybody who is healthy and has a normal life should just be happy about it instead of always wanting more...By the way he is incredible and so strong (sorry for my english)
antonia_tnzr No need to apologize about your English. I didn't know it was not your first language until you apologized! ;) Good for you for trying something that you feel insecure about. I agree with you about John.
amen! so true so many people are so ungrateful and worry about material things . that they don't take out the time to appreciate life and other around them . god bless this young man he's far stronger then me and anyone I know . 💗
When u think u are having a bad day.... Shame on me to complain about my little things. Look at this courageous boy now became a young adult 22 years old. Bravo! U are an inspiration person! 😊
I want to give him the biggest hug ever but then he'll be in so much pain🤧 Thank you for being an inspiration John and for reminding us to not take things for granted💜 Also props to the parents and also the wonderful nurse. I know it means a lot to John to have such supportive people around him.
She’s a damn good nurse and he’s a strong young man.

i am a healthy limber person, and i can barely get through one day without wanting to die. i wish i was as strong as him. you’re in my prayers, u and ur family. 💗
Makkenzie you may be healthy physically but obviously not mentally and that doesn't make you less strong than someone with a physical condition lovely. He is an amazing strong kid, but you must be pretty strong too to make it to the end of each day if you are feeling so bad. I really hope you have a good support network xx
Hi, the fact you made it this far and are still here tells me you yourself are stronger than you know. I'm sorry you feel this way. You know, just because mental illness and suffering is not physically visible doesn't mean it's any easier to deal with - or that you're any less for struggling. I know that sometimes even getting out of bed is an impossible challenge. Some days it may even be too hard to overcome. But so far you've made it through 100 % of your days, that's quite an impressive score.
I hope things get better soon. Hang in there. And remember that asking for help is never a weakness.
Wishing you all the best and sending lots of love!
I know how you feel..and you ARE a strong person to keep going. I find what helps me is doing small things that make me happy....especially being outside grounds me, or being around my pets. They are very therapeutic for me. I also think watching uploads like these make me appreciate what I DO have even more. You are important and you do matter.
I have struggled with depression since I was a kid. It never gets easier or really subsides, but learning small ways to take care of it make all the difference. I appreciate your comment and your honesty 💜
Reem Hassan very nicely said and true
Reem Hassan (idk where your comment went, but) I love what you said. "The key to happiness is letting each situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be-Mandy Hale" - that's something I'm gonna need to keep in mind myself.. :)
There's nobody who could know or imagine his pain. It's terrible....He must be scared and desperated, because he's the only one who feel the pain.......It's hard to say, but I wouldn't let anybody to live such a painful life,...i feel just so sorry.
@Bookshelf That's true that there are people who suffer from the same condition. However, the pain is not the same, you can't say that they know each other's pain, because each of them is different people with different mind and body. Maybe, they can imagine each other's pain more than someybody who has no such condition, but they will never know each other's pain.
@Bookshelf They Don't feel the same pain. There are many different kinds of EB. I have EB but mine isn't as severe. I don't feel as much pain as he does
@Bookshelf You were literally wrong. I support educating the underprivileged
@Bookshelf You commented on a public domain. It doesn't matter if you were talking to me or not
@@skarlettcage3922 I have EB too...I very rarely meet anyone else with it. Mine is nowhere near as severe either, but it definitely causes problems.
Also, the dad making the ice cream float just melted my heart. Such a supportive group he had around him. ♥️
That same dad is my science teacher, I never knew why he always acted so nice and why he just looked burnt out. Now I know.
Sorry sweetheart..can't stop crying...lord please do this family a miracle and heal their son....pls lord...this is too much
lana Ibin amen 🙏🏼
@@savagefam5352 yes.. God does wonders.. This sweetheart deserves one.. He is in pain..I just can't stop crying ..
Amen
if god exists then why did he give this kid this disease in the first place
@@uhnothing1391 if god doesnt exist there will be no life , god who create him and god who will give him wonderfull heaven
337 heartless people disliked this video. How could even one person dislike it. I live with pain every day but i can not even imagine what this brave boy goes thru.
It is probably because they don't like blood
It’s not them trying to be mean its because they’re sad for them
They were probably crying and their tear touched the dislike button
For some people, I think they pushed the dislike button because it was just so sad/hard to watch. It’s probably a mistake to assume they meant anything wrong by it. Honestly, I can’t click on the like button because my heart hurts for this beautiful boy and all involved. There is nothing to like.
I think maybe they disliked the video because they hate seeing such a young, beautiful soul suffering
I handle pain so awfully and seeing the pain he had to go through just for a bath makes me feel awful. I hope the best for him and his family.
Edit: Thanks for all the likes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gab S He sadly pasted away back in April due to complications...
Alex Tater Tots
No I thought so also but that was another child that died in April. This family is actually being given a new house this week. The one that passed in April’s last name was Pitre I think. Someone helped me on another comment when I thought same.
Rn Tn Oh ok... my bad, sorry.
Alex Tater Tots
No problem. I was confused, also!
THIS MADE ME CRYY 😭😢😞😪😩😫🤧☹️😔😢😢😭😭GOD BLESS THEM 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Living with that kind of excruciating pain is not something others can understand who have not experienced pain at the same level that he does. Compassion and empathy are so important.
@Mary Oden what is wrong with you!! I don't see why you would say that!!!
@Mary Oden This is not a joke
@Mary Oden thats....a unique thing to say about his situation. Yes he needs pain medication and I'm sure he appreciates any means of escape from his pain but somehow I feel like your comment was a jab at him which is pretty insensitive. That kid is stronger than most and I adore him for his courage.
@Mary O'Bear true but these types of wounds not even morphine can help entirely
I pray he gets that special bath tub 😢🙏🏼
He got the bath! That is what the nurse was bathing him in.
They actually ended up getting a brand new house built for them for free! The kid was sooooo grateful for it that he cried! It was truly AMAZING!!!
@@vanessastarks6486 I swear he died last year
Instead of praying, donate!
MrandMrsPaper I pray because I do not have the financial means myself to donate. Trust me, I would be homeless if I donated to every person my heart felt for. 😕
The people who disliked were crying too much and just missed the like button
this actually happened l, and then I looked and I saw that I pressed dislike, and then I was like NUUUUUUU and pressed like.
I wish
Perhaps they think I don't like that this boy has so much suffer, so I dislike
This is just for watching...not for liking or disliking!
BEEAR I agree
“I don’t think I can I’m really sorry 😢” oh my goodness when he said that, I could feel how unbearable it is for him 😭😭😭
It’s impossible to feel what he feels-I get what you mean but you can’t
I loved the nurse 😭💯❣❣
على ما اضن اول عربي تحياتي
I almost cried... how is this any way to live??? Life is just cruel...
That's how life is it's unfair
It's not in god's hands
It just happens bad luck

That’s basically what I said...
@@michaelb.tysonson3375 yes sir
@@michaelmyersplays4992 I don't believe in bad luck though,I don't believe in any luck but I guess good luck to him
@@hectorchavez1877 if you dont believe in luck then why does he have to suffer?
I love this kid. He’s got mad wisdom and happily shares it, even though he has to make himself so vulnerable to the public. He helps a lot of folks. Be like John.
I am so sad that he has to suffer like this. God bless you sweetheart.
John,
I'm 60, and tough but after seeing your courage I am sorry that I can't be as tough as you.
You are an inspiration in courage and endurance.
You have motivated me as no one else ever has.
Gladiators weren't as tough as you!
Keep fighting and God bless you.
Instead of funding wars and many other atrocities is this world this is the kind of thing money should be used for, find the cure for horrible diseases like this.
What a great kid, his parents and nurse are pretty awesome too
... If we don't do that then everyone will die .. Well not everyone but many will die including more kids and resources will go . That was very stupid of you to comment . That's why it's a thing called donating so we give money to this too .
@@personalpersonal9356 Actually, the only stupid comment here is yours. Did I ask you to like my opinion? Get a life troll.
@Mandi W , War literally saves lives . How stupid are you ? Why else are you and whomever you love are alive ? Yes people die in war however it's to save idiots like you and other actually smart people . That's why people participate in war ... It's to protect the people even if they die . If a person that literally went through war had to see your freaking comment ... I'd pity him/her cause they literally risked their lives just to save an idiot like you however some will still say worth it somehow .
@Mandi W , Yes .. They do give money . Many rich people donate money either out of actual care or just to look good ... They still donate money at the end of the day and it's to actual organizations like to a kids health department and so on . Also , All you gotta donate is at least a dollar to any organization like for kids health or whatever ... It doesn't always have to be to the military cause that's why you pay taxes and where your tax money go but if you don't want to .. That's fine .
@Mandi W , The fact you know no common intelligence is worrying. We learn this in elementary school . We still learn it in middle and HS .. And college cause people are risking their lives to protect others . Why else do people go to war ? War happens to benefit the people and to protect the people and resources .
Just like his skin is being stripped away every day, so is his childhood. I can't even imagine how painful it must be, both physically and emotionally, to have your freedom taken away from you like that. I hope that he will one day be in a good enough condition to do all the things he ever dreamed of doing. Keep fighting, John.
I love how much his nurse cares about him. He needs someone like her and his parents to have patients and as much understanding as they can to what he is going through 💕
That’s one strong kid, a strong 💪 mother, strong family
Been on youtube since it launched in 2005. Never written a comment. But this person impressed me. Courageous, strong willed. Even though times might be tough, he keeps going. Genuinely inspirational.
*And I have to add, he's a cool dude!
Owwwwww
I wouldn’t deal with the pain
He’s a fighter
I know he’ll get through it
Never in my life have I felt such shame at myself as I have now seeing this young child, this human, suffer so greatly when I complain that I have to even get up, make my coffee and work. At least I have a decent life, it’s not all rainbows mind ya but it’s damn great compared to his. The little things we take for granted and he faces that every single day! I just can’t stop my tears. I don’t know you John Hudson Jr but I am praying for you and thinking of you daily and I will live life better from now on bc you inspired me. You are handsome, brave, strong, determined, courageous, smart and inspiring and my love goes out to you, your family and nurse! They are all wonderful and I’m so very sorry for the loss of your father last year. With every tribulation you’ve faced you still are triumphant and deservingly so. 🩵🩵
Damn... I hate seeing kids in pain. My heart goes out to you John. You are a very strong person, stronger than most people. You are my motivation brotha. More power to you young man.
I can see the pain in his eyes when he talks about taking the bath. I’m so sorry that he has to live like that. I hope one day they find a cure for him because he deserves a life beyond the bandages and baths.
Grown: check. Man: check. Crying: check.
This young man is an inspiration to anyone with half a brain to understand the strength it takes to have such a great disposition and personality despite all this. Hoping and praying for a cure, thankful for the example he is setting.
He's a modern day stoic.
Just bc you're a man doesn't mean you can't cry bud
@@Septembersend34 I never said otherwise 🤜🤛👍
And to think about how many times I’ve winced because a little skin peeled off my finger and the way that hurts underwater… There are no words for how terrible I feel for what this child and his family go through. This nurse is also an angel and seeing her get so emotional was heart wrenching. John does definitely seem like a kind soul. Someone needs to find a cure for this. Bless this entire family and their providers.
Trying to hard to cry. I don’t think I’ve really noticed how grateful I am until now. He’s so motivational and strong and deserves the whole entire world. This broke my heart, but trust me you’re one of God’s most special kids! He made you specifically the way you are and you’re unique for this ❤️
seems like god hated him from the start...
Your a great kid dont let anybody tell u different, I'm praying good works a miracle for you!
Me too
This really is inspiring, i feel such deep gratitude to all of those who suffer from this disorder and as well as the families, God bless them
The fact that this boy is my science teachers son is amazing, I remember once my teacher couldn’t arrive to class because his son had to get a surgery. I miss you mr.dilgen!!
I think he passed away in 2024
I wish I could be his friend he seems like such a cool guy honestly. I wish he wasn't in so much pain but I'm glad he's got a supportive family that loves him.
I hope you see this message John. And know that I see you as a Hero. And you inspire me. I cry for you. You are good, strong, great boy! Be in your heart. I'm there.
God bless this child. We take so much for granted and this kid is an angel and appreciates everything he gets . Life is never fair and i pray he inspires other kids to appreciate everything and everyone in their lives. Gratitude and praise to God!🙏🙏🙏
I have treated an EB patient who is now 26! He and his family are the strongest people I know.
Just because this boy is born different doesn’t mean he can’t live his life to the fullest💓💓. And I give his mom a lot of credit for being a caring mother and nurse💜💜💜💜
Jocelyn Buck - He can’t live his life to the fullest because of his severe health issues. Can u imagine all the “normal” things he wants to do but cannot. This is not a life fulfilled - this is a life of pain & torture. He is barley surviving- that’s not a life 2 me- the whole family is in pain. This is tragic!!!! In that situation u do what u Can to make other people feel comfortable around u & try ur best to find sum sort of “happiness”
Its hard to watch a video where a child is in this much pain. I hope they can find a cure one day.
Yo! You know what! your a thousand times stronger than any other boys I had meet, no I'm serious! All of them are just saying how "strong" they are, but words don't show anything! YOU are showing what means to be strong)
Watching this young man be so brave and kind inspires me to my core! ❤️🙏🏼
Awww sweetie u are awesome a beautiful child and your parents and nurse rocks!!🌷
RALEK lifestyle unfortunately he is dead right now :(
Numpty No he isn't, Jonathan pitre is.
Numpty lies! He didn’t die
My hearth is broken . Your so brave young man I pray for you
Was it a clay hearth
*You're
Heart*
My heart is shattered completely. No one deserves to got through this. This boy is so strong I want to help him with everything. A literal inspiration.
I know mashallah 😍😭
Barcroft tv thanks for showing us other inspiring stories of people that every day is worth it and thanks for showing us what we are lucky to have and we need to appreciate it. I wish the best of luck for this kid and I really hope he gets better. I'll pray for him. He is very positive and some people need to learn from him and others. I personally couldn't finish the video cause is kinda painful to watch. Thanks you barcroft tv. this is what makes this channel so damm good.
Remarkable he so strong
I'm literally crying.... and can't stop....wish I can help him& stop his pain
my heart hurts so much for him. please god help us find a cure or at least a treatment to help ease his pain. 😞❤️
No kid, adult, or elderly human being should EVER have to go through this. Stay strong...
yeah it is something that i hope calms down in my 40's
People with EB do not live long enough to become elderly. I could be wrong but I think John is going to be 22 in July 2024
this is so incredibly sad
any SBSK viewers here?
Meeeee
Me. I cried when he cried. :'
Yes😊
Me
Yep saw him on there such a strong young man!
Somebody, research this! Like, I know people are, but throw some more money at this!
Wolfgang Kenshin The problem is it’s so rare that not enough money is invested into it as it’s not seen as being as urgent as other more common conditions
Wolfgang Kenshin
There needs to be more research, funding, implementation and practice of Gene Therapy, Genetic Engineering, and Eugenics.
Jonny Kennedy did up to the day he died. The charity he supported (DEBRA) even made a break-through a few years ago, where skin with EB was successfully treated in the labs! He suffered with the same condition for over 30 years! If you'd like, you can learn about him and his remarkable spirit from another video hosted on this channel: th-cam.com/video/9wg8EtF5SJI/w-d-xo.html It's a pretty amazing documentary. Absolutely heart-breaking, but worth it.
This is urgent for research!
PenileFacial Surgery yah..says 'PENILE FACIAL SURGERY' ...
When he was taking a bath tears just rolled down me face....
Same here man
This made me very thankful that I was born very healthy and it made me realize people are not as lucky as I am and that we should be happy with what we have.
I can’t imagine what it’s like.He is so strong.When I chip a nail it hurts so bad (for me), but to be him...that’s unimaginable.
It’s Madeline he died
Dreaming stop spreading lies 🙄
@@bencooper4058 Wait are they joking or for real? 😰
@@bencooper4058 it's actually not a lie. He really did die earlier this year I believe
He sure didn’t. I watched a video with him that was filmed 2 days ago on Facebook. His family have just been gifted a brand new smart house!
It made me cry for hours and hours. Allah please give shefa to all kids, it is very painful.
Well done young brave man. You are inspiring.
Amen ya Allah🤲❤
What religion is that? This is nothing to be rude, I am just curious.

Spencer Frank Clayton ye I was just learning about it a few days ago😂
This warrior will be greatly rewarded in the next life. Bless his heart🙏❤️
Now we all know we have to be thankful for you and what you are
Other people in his age (including me) worry about getting their first kiss and stuff and he can maybe never even go outside alone...I think everybody who is healthy and has a normal life should just be happy about it instead of always wanting more...By the way he is incredible and so strong (sorry for my english)
antonia_tnzr No need to apologize about your English. I didn't know it was not your first language until you apologized! ;) Good for you for trying something that you feel insecure about. I agree with you about John.
Your english isnt bad its better than a lot of people i know who have been speaking english and only english their whole life 🌟✨😊
amen! so true so many people are so ungrateful and worry about material things . that they don't take out the time to appreciate life and other around them . god bless this young man he's far stronger then me and anyone I know . 💗
What an inspiration he is, stay strong dude
When u think u are having a bad day.... Shame on me to complain about my little things. Look at this courageous boy now became a young adult 22 years old. Bravo! U are an inspiration person! 😊
Bless his heart. These things just aren't even fair.. Makes you question a lot of things.
The pain he’s in no one would truly know, bless him lord 🙏🏽 heal our children please who are suffering, hear our prayers
such a beautiful soul god bless him..i hope he gets cured..your a champ buddy!
I want to give him the biggest hug ever but then he'll be in so much pain🤧 Thank you for being an inspiration John and for reminding us to not take things for granted💜 Also props to the parents and also the wonderful nurse. I know it means a lot to John to have such supportive people around him.
Everytime I watch one of these videos I just can't stop thinking about how incredibly blessed I am. 😭🙏♥️
my heart shattered into a million pieces 💔 may God bless this kid through everything 🙏🏼😢
I love how is everyone showing their love to this boy
OMG! That poor little boy. Sending prayers to him and his family! I really hope they find a cure!
