HiHo Kids

[hihokids]

Big thank you to Julia for coming to share her story with the HiHo Kids!

[dumpster]

"You have a nice face" coming from a kid is the ultimate compliment

[mochi__]

The fact that the little girl can girl can admit she stares at people when there different is amazing at that age she is so sweet

[sophietrap]

“There’s no dumb questions”

I love her

[SHRUTHIU]

It broke my heart when she said “I’m aware I will die before my parents”. 😭😭

[nf]

Those kids are so respectful. I feel like every child is innocent. They start judging and doing things they shouldn’t because of their parents and their education.

[nzys]

The fact that she wanted to be a mom but, couldn’t pass the disease on..it just breaks my heart.

[nennejoh]

This is so horrible she really lost the genetic lottery, so many incurable diseases. Such a lovely, beautiful girl. Life just isn’t fair 😭

[emmawolfe]

"the assumption a lot of doctors will make is that anxiety is the cause of everything"
FACTS

[ErikaLindberg]

I can't imagine the psychological trauma of suddenly becoming ill, losing the lifestyle you had before and having to deal with the fact that you will pass away far too early. I hope she finds light and happiness in her day to day life anyway.

[zymphyr]

I'm not saying this out of sympathy, I genuinely think this,
she is _very_ pretty.

[stinaruiz]

The kid throwing shade at her dad ".. but my dad forgot to sign me up..."

[alexthomas]

okay but she's like... REALLY pretty.

[patrickstar]

her: Do you want to be a mom
girl:Yes
her:I did to
my heart: *Falls down all the way to the floor*

[lainiepicklesimer]

Little Girl: “I’ve never went to the doctor.”
Girl in Wheelchair: 👀

[rosewrought]

"The assumption a lot of doctors will make is that anxiety is the cause of everything." GOD isn't this the truth.

[harley]

When she said she could die before 25 that made me emotional

[colosiouscomposter]

[spits in bag]
“No dumb questions”
So badass

[antoinelk]

The first 30 seconds I almost cried, she is going to die young and there's nothing to do to prolong her life...

[gabrielaacc]

“That’d be... not fair to those kids” it’s so sad that people with genetic problems think like that most of the time 😔 I really hope some day someone finds the cure for her condition... this video was so touching.
