My Son Jacob is my life. He is the reason I wake up in the morning.

Sadly we have reached a point of total desperation.

I pray all the time that my son's story takes off and we can raise as much as other stories.

Jacob is 6, special needs (William syndrome) and is recovering from one of the most severe double heart surgeries (990,000)

He was denied by insurance and as a father I have been doing all I can to raise enough for all of his expenses besides the surgery (therapy of all kinds, medications, special childcare etc) and I am failing as a Daddy.

Please Follow us and sponsor Jacob below if you can.

Anything helps at this point. My baby boy needs as many viking warriors as possible. 💙

Three days ago, a 15-yr old boy had an anxiety attack in the school bathroom to hide from his bullies and struggling grades.

His “guidance” counselor pulled him into a room alone and told him to power thru and stop saying he was suicidal for attention even tho he was crying so hard the capillaries in his face were broken. Fun fact: the boy has never been in trouble nor has said this before.

The boy is now in the hospital an hour away from his family due to a real attempt to leave this world.

Because the school would not listen all year nor accommodate his mother’s requests for help and a 504 plan, he felt he had no hope and could not face another day.

The boy is my son. And I’m so angry at the GC in his school I’m frozen. They’re now complying to help with classes and gave him a new counselor.

These new accommodations are not enough. Our story isn’t rare. Schools need to wake up and make some real changes.

On this day in 1916, Ota Benga, an African native who suffered inhumane treatment by being kept in a zoo, committed suicide.

He had been kidnapped in 1904 from Congo, and taken to America and exhibited at the Bronx Zoo with monkeys.

"Sitting is the new smoking."

Yup. If you sit more than 6 hours a day, you're destroying your body and ruining your health.

Here are 5 exercises to reverse the damages of sitting:

On this day in 1955, Claudette Colvin,15, was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white woman on a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

She was arrested 9months before Rosa Parks, but NAACP didn't want her to represent their organization because she was 15 and pregnant.

BREAKING: The death toll from the earthquake in Turkey and Syria has surpassed 41,000.

Deaths are expected to rise, especially in Syria, and 26 million people are in need of humanitarian aid.

Survivors are still being found after 200+ hours under rubble, but hopes are fading.

The last time a black woman won Record of the Year was Whitney Houston for ‘I Will Always Love You’… I don’t take this lightly. Thank you.
