Um, you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice that you have.
She is called francine.
This is her son.
He is called Lazarus.
It is unbelievable and it is so hard to believe, but he is 27 years old, though he looks a lot younger than this.
She says that this is due to his disability
And it is the reason of all this.
He cannot walk or even talk.
She says that for the 27 years of his life, he only said four words when he rose from the dead.
Yes, rose from the dead.
It brings confusion to a lot of people that, just like Lazarus in the bible, he also rose from the dead.
The only difference with him is that he is disabled and he has risen over six times.
She is sure that each and every time he died, he was completely dead.
He was not breathing at all and suddenly he coughs on their way to the barrio.
From then, they have never taken his death seriously in the society because they keep expecting him to resurrect.
When Francine got pregnant, the man that had made her pregnant was not happy about this.
When he got to know about it, he immediately told her to abort the baby she refused.
Her pregnancy grew, and when it was 2 months old, this man ran away with fear of being taken to prison for what he had done.
She now says that she has no idea where he is, or even if he is still alive, but his family still lives in the society and they know that Lazarus is his son.
They don’t want him at all and they keep telling Francine to kill him.
She says that it is true that her son is disabled and he cannot do anything for himself.
It is obvious that she has to do each and everything for him, but again, she cannot kill a child that she gave birth to.
She loves him a lot despite his disability, and since he is her only child, she is so proud of keeping him.
There is nothing that Francine didn’t try to make her son better than this.
She was a single mother even when she was two months pregnant.
She had to handle it all by herself until the time she gave birth.
She was surprised that she gave birth to a baby like this during pregnancy.
Everything was fine.
She did not feel anything unusual.
When the doctors gave her this baby, they said that it can be taken for treatment.
This was supposed to be done in expensive hospitals and this was the only place that her baby’s legs and arms could be stretched just so that they could make him normal.
These hospitals were very expensive and she could not afford treatment here.
She tried taking him to the chip on local hospitals, but they couldn’t help with anything at all.
They kept transferring him to different hospitals, but she couldn’t go because she had no money.
She brought her baby back home, but he looked like he was going to die anytime soon because he was not eating at all and his mother had to forcefully put milk into his mouth, which was not easy at all.
And this is how he grew up.
He continued growing up and he still couldn’t eat at all.
Now his mother has to put food in her mouth, chew it and puts it in his son’s mouth.
She does this each and every day.
Obviously it’s only her that can feed her son, because she does not think that anyone in this society can do this for him.
One day she woke up and noticed that her son was not breathing at all.
She called on people in the neighborhood for help.
They all came and confirmed that he was dead.
They planned his barrier the following day, but as they were taking him, something happened.
He suddenly started coughing and everyone was scared.
Most of them ran away, but as a mother she wasn’t scared at all.
She got close to him and he said that while he was gone, a voice told him that he has a lot of things that he still has to do on earth, and it is not his time yet to go.
She says that these were the only words he said since he was born.
They carried him back home and she was happy that her son was alive again, though he was disabled.
When they got home, it was not so long after he died again while they were taking him for barrio, the same thing happened.
He died for the third time, and this time they wanted to make sure that he was completely dead before they took him for barrio.
They waited for a few days just to confirm.
Days later they carried him to the graveyard, but before they got there, the same thing happened.
He coughed and woke up again.
He died for the fourth, the fifth and the sixth time, but it was still the same case.
It is like now.
They have got used to him dying because he always comes back to life somehow.
They do not think that he will die, just like anyone else does.
Her husband’s family now rejected her too.
They do not want to know anything about them anymore, since she refused to kill him.
They don’t want to help her with anything at all, and she is the one that has to struggle.
Since she says that the world turned her back against her, she digs for people so that she can get money to buy food for her son.
This does not help her earn a lot, because she earns half a dollar a day, which means that they hardly get anything to eat.
And it all does not come easy.
When she goes to work for money, she locks her son inside the house, and she does this because there is no person that is there to take care of him.
She has been doing this for 27 years now.
She kinda does not like this, but she has nothing else to do.
It has now been more than 20 years when she can’t carry her son out of the house anymore, and since no one ever helps, he stays inside all day, and she says that today was the day when he was brought out so that his story can be told to the world.
He has been living inside for more than 20 years.
She is requesting for help so that she can get a wheelchair for him and find out if treatment is still possible.
They also need food, and these are the reasons why she is asking for support from anyone that is watching this and is willing to help.
The funds that will be used to help this family will be donated via Gofundme, a link that is in the description of this video and pinned in the topmost comment by Afmax English.
We shouldn’t pray for an easy life.
We should pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
Thank you for watching.
