So much respect for you, John. You're a shining example of integrity and humility. Sending love and prayers to you, your mom, your friends, and your community. 🤗🙏🏻💚 PS pet Romeo for me 😻
I had no idea he was that old, ive been on and off following this channel for years and remember seeing him and mentally in my head hes been like 12 or whatever that entire time. To live with this for 21 years, damn. Dudes strong.
Good god. Some of these comments are so corney. It's not that someone said it. It's that some 50 year old grown adult thinks it's not crazy to be posting on mentally ill digital forums. When Facebook first came out it was just kids. Still not healthy but an excuse was that it was just dumb kids. Then all the boomera get jealous and start joining, ruining there party. Then it just proved our society is dooned. Maybe just post how you feel. Seriosuly. Who is the target audience of this post? You say "bigger man than any of us", so your target audience is men? But your comment is something an adult would say trying to impress a child. So which is it? I'm sure John would appreciate my thoughtfulness. He's obviously a deep thinker, and has some criticisms about modern society implied by his impression with Japan over the west. I can imagine some commenter gasping reading this, like "omg, the gravity of the situation". Yes we know. You're not treating him with respect if you think my criticism of this childish comment hurts his feelings. I'm criticizing our dumb culture. Not him.
HEY, my name is Ava. I can relate to a lot of this stuff. I was born with EB, and my type of eb is junkshinal, one of the worst ones. I wasn't supposed to make it past a year, so this video means a lot to me, and it's not just me but other people with EB, so thank you so much
I'm glad you're here! I hope that more treatments for EB & other genetic disorders are coming soon. I'm sorry for the difficult things you've had to go through. 💙🇺🇸🗽
Yes...I remember watching a video about him when he was a young boy. I felt so sad for him. I couldn't imagine having to live in so much pain all the time. I hope and wish they will find something to make his life easier.
@@AuthorityCatyeah that always gets me, if I have a billion dollars say, why not just help these people. Easy for me to say this though as a non rich person.
John is my age, yet 100x more of a badass than I'll ever be. Made me think twice about the stuff I complain about. Man is an absolute warrior. Truly inspiring.
i agree with your sentiment but at the same time we must realize that just because others struggle with much worse does not mean we are not allowed to feel down with challenges we face. but yea this kid is an absolute legend.
He's asked what his thoughts were on being born without skin on his left foot. He responds, "I can't imagine what it was like for my parent's to see that." A fine young man, worrying about others before himself.
You’re allowed to complain. Disabled people don’t exist for you to pity us and make you feel like your struggles are less than. Everyone’s struggles are different, don’t feel bad for complaining, we all do it
@@choccymilkconnoisseur2775Extremely well said. It’s the same argument people employ when they say you aren’t valid for struggling with anything in your life because there are children starving in impoverished countries… like what?
@@godsstrongestschizo I think the original comment has a point, though. We should be more grateful for what we have, and remember those who are less fortunate than us rather than looking up to those more fortunate than us. It helps put life in better perspective, and calibrates your level of gratitude and satisfaction. So while this doesn’t mean we should shut down any urge to complain or feel frustrated (which are perfectly normal human emotions), we should indeed realize that we are in a better position than millions (if not most) of the world’s population. Even the ability to hear, see, and feel, are tremendous blessings from the Creator. Remember: the happiest people are not those who have more - but those who need less. Peace.
I am thinking of you, your daughter and family too now. I am going to donate to EB cause. Will need to replay that bit to get name of research charity in a minute. John Hudson is such a phenomenal young man for sure yes.
@@natscat4752 If you look at the very first comment, it is from Chris and he gives a link you can click on that takes you to the EB Research page. You're a good person for donating. 🫶
I mean, the fact that he literally had his skin pulled off as a newborn and reflecting on that his first thoughts are of his parents! Truly an amazing human being!
The fact that John Hudson is experiencing excruciating pain constantly and can still be so thoughtful, well-spoken, patient, and respectful is incredible. I have a minor inconvenience or a headache and become irritable. He’s such an amazing person and I’m so hopeful about his future. I hope this new treatment can give him some relief and restore some of his mobility/independence. I hope a systemic (hopefully gene) therapy is on the horizon.
I'm the same way. It's so, so difficult to change who you are in that way, though. I don't know that it can fully be done for most of us. I've always wanted to be so level and patient under pressure. He's amazing.
That's the thing I'm taking away from this. I'm not going through anything near to what John is but, I do have chronic pain issues. Time for me to change! 💜
I'm 25yo. I think I watch sbsk since I was a teenager I have watched the others John Hudson's interview. Every time he cries I cry too, but when he smiles it makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. He's really an inspiration. God bless his mom! I hope we find a cure for EB soon. God bless his heart. Stay positive!
He’s also really lucky to have his family support and loving community that pushed him to have this mindset He’s very optimistic it’s amazing, cause a lot of people in his situation would just want a way out, not a battle
Interviews with John Hudson really make me wanna be his friend. Ik he can't physically do much (which ik is excruciating and I sympathize), but this guy has done so many things in life. Eb advocate, superhero, motivational speaker, involved with friends and family and charity. Lot of love in this guy, which he gives freely and is returned in spades. Always compassionate and thinking of others. I suspect palliative care they only found out about through his dad, but it's for more than just terminal patients, and I'm glad he's highlighting that. As well as this WONDERFUL new treatment for EB. GJ John Hudson, and thx for the interviews
So many ppl admire celebrities and want to meet them. To me John Hudson is someone who deserves my admiration. I would want to meet him just to say how inspirational he is! John Hudson if you’re reading this “You are my hero!”
I have been depressed and hopeless from life since august 2021, today after more than 3 years I have felt en emotion of genuine happiness after hearing about this good news
@@Himmel-Himmel Both of you were inspired by a humble hero. I hope your days keep getting better and better. If John Hudson can continue to fight, so can you. 💙👍🩵🙏👊
@@dimitriskalofiris1777 Depression can happen without an external reason - sometimes a person's brain chemistry is just a bit off naturally, and the effects can be really severe depression. 🫶
I've also felt really, really hopeless from depression - and I still have depression. But thanks to medicine it's been so... faded? My dad helped advocate for me to try a different antidepressant that his doctor friend had talked about was relatively new still but works especially to help against low energy levels (which was a huge problem for me), and gradually it is really getting better. I take Sertraline (Zoloft) and Bupropion (Voxra). I hope so, so deeply that you can also get relief like this. You are doing so so well, having lived this far, and I'm really proud of you for how you've been holding on. Best of luck to you 🫶
Hello John Hudson! I am donating $50 worth of money to the EB research community. I send this money in honor of your story. It really inspired me, and I hope that you will go far someday. Never let anybody judge who you are! Be proud of yourself! I struggle with spina bifida. It really makes my life hard, but I persevere. Sincerely, Gage H (age 11) Edit from Gage's mom: Gage came home from a weekend away and was overwhelmed by the love and words of support for him and John Hudson both. Thank you all for building him up as you did.
Hi Gage! I’m sorry you struggle with spina bifida. I’m quite a bit older than you but I also struggle with chronic pain from other conditions. You seem like an incredibly caring, kind, and strong young man. Keep going strong, we believe in you!
Hi Gage! What a lovely person. I have a friend with spina bifida. She made it on to Team GB for the olympics, doing hand cycling (wheelchair cycling) and also does modelling. I doubt she imagined that at age 11. I hope you can do wilder, funner things than you can imagine yet :)
I have no problems. Zero. John's graciousness, kindness, gratitude, and caring nature are overwhelming. What an amazing person he is, and his mother loves him dearly, too.
John Hudson’s mom is the strongest woman I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine what it’s like to have a kid with such a serious disease. They both really are lucky to have each other. They truly are rockstars
What really got me during this interview was the love for his cat, Romeo. The companionship and love that I know a cat can do for you is limitless. I wouldn't know where I would be if I didn't have my own Kitty by my side. I'm happy that he gets to know that feeling too.
Yes. The gentle steps of Romeo with his soft fluffs. 💖 A special bond between cats and humans is one thing....but having such a companion with a gentle touch for John Hudson's medical condition. You do mean a lot to us John Hudson. A true superhero.
I cried when I saw the ending... His dad moved me so much in his second interview when he said that he never ever saw taking care of John as a burden and John laid his head on his shoulder in pure gratefulness 🤍
He's a beautiful human. Just imagine having a disease so awful that RUclips considers your image "graphic". And yet he remains a beautiful human in every way. I'm donating again. I wish him and his family all the best. Here's to a miracle.
You have beautiful profile picture. I agree with you. He is such a strong dude. Hearing the part about how he was born and had his skin ripped off.. So sad and ouch. I respect the fact that he doesn't hold any grudges. What a good person.
I’ve been following John’s story for a few years now. Him being the same age as me really makes it more emotional. You can tell he’s in so much pain. I really hope the research continues to help heal EB. I can’t imagine going through this
To be in his condition and even say the words “as blessed as I am” is unfathomable. I would give anything to help this dude. He deserves a normal life more than all of us.
I’ve always admired how well spoken, strong, smart, kind this kid has been. Keep up the fight bud. You’ve made tons of progress and more to come. We’re all rooting for ya bro.
My Mom was dying of ALS and she saw a woman on the Oprah show who had been burned over her entire body. My mom looked at me and said there's always someone else worse off. I have MS and had a bad day then I saw this young man. I thought two things. The first, I thought if he can continue living with love and gratitude I have no right to not see my journey completed the same way. The second I pleaded with the "powers" that be to expedite a cure. A true cure. I wish so much I could take this from him to let him feel the ocean, hike a trail, run free from pain and fall in love. I beg all there is to allow him to be freed. ❤
@@rw8873 ❤️ Only love to you. Here's something I say maybe it'll give you a laugh. My husband calls these Colleenisms. " If you find you can't walk start the rock then roll." -From Me ❤️
If you care about yourself one person cares for you. But when everyone cares mkre about everyone else. Then everyone has billions looking out for them. Good on you for seeing the right path. Even if it seems harder and less rewarding to give up your chances for anothsr
Q: When somebody finishes watching this interview what do you hope they remember most from it? A: I hope they remember that I'm not the only one going through this. A completely selfless and benevolent answer. You're a good guy John, what happened to you is unfair and cruel, and to top it off you aren't bitter. That makes you a special type of person, I'm hoping the treatment works and they find even better ones to help you, and others suffering from EB.
He also immediately mentions that, when he thinks about how traumatic the experience of his birth was, he mainly feels sad for his parents because of how frightening it must have been for them.
Yes this is so true of John. Amazing human with so much kindness. Hopefully this new treatment gives him and others a chance to live with less pain and itching, more mobility. Research should crank it up! Love to you John (and Romeo)!
John is so well spoken, bright, and intelligent for his age. I wish nothing but the best for him and I pray these treatments work! I've been following your story for years and I'm rooting for you!
When he said “luckily my hands aren’t as bad as the rest of my body” I gasped. This poor man. He’s gotta be tough as nails to have made it this long. Praying that the new treatment offers some time and more importantly relief. God bless you, John Hudson.
Exodus 4:11 (NIV): "The Lord said to him, 'Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?'"
John Hudson is one of the most special people on the planet. I'm so glad he's finally getting a treatment that might bring him some relief. Very sorry to hear about his dad passing away.
I have bullous pemphigoid. Which is similar but not as bad. I get random blisters all over and my skin is paper thin. Rips so easy. This boy has taught me patience and acceptance. I won’t complain anymore as my disease is 80 percent controlled now. I have harsh medicines but I’m able to get around and work still. This boy is such an inspiration. ❤❤❤
I've never forgot this warrior of a kid from a few yrs ago when I first saw him. An absolute gentleman and a true warrior in this life. I've been a spinal cord injured paraplegic myself since I was 18 back in 97' from a crash. I've always said that mental fortitude is so key in this life and its true for so many of us. I wish i could hang out with this guy and chill, make him smile and have a laugh. My sincerest prayers to him and his family always.
@DoABarellJo I meant what i said and how I said it very sincerely. I'm a few yrs away from 50, and I don't think he would be "offended" by said comment. I know he is literally not a kid now, and when i first saw him, he was very much a kid, so yeah......carry on and troll some more.
Reading through the comments, I want you all to know that just because you don't have it as bad as John Hudson, doesn't mean your pain is invalid. We all have our struggles and they are just as real and impactful as they feel to you. The human body and brain are amazing at adapting, and some of us go through unthinkable traumas. But you don't need to be one of those people to justify your emotions, your feelings, your pain, your stress. The thought that "I can't complain because others have it worse" is incredibly self-deprecating and doesn't appreciate you for who you are as a person. Love yourself and those around you! Ask for help when you need it. The only person you should compare yourself to is your past self, because we always want to be learning and growing. Abandon toxic ideas like "I'm not worth it" or "I don't have the right to speak". We can appreciate and share love for ourselves at the same time as we share it for John. We can acknowledge that he has it worse, but also acknowledge that we ourselves may need help or relief. These concepts can exist together!
Thank you curo. Everything you said is true. I feel great compassion and empathy for this guy. The Bible basically states that when one grows old it to teach compassion in others. I don't believe growing old is a prerequisite for that though. I do believe that people come into our lives that are ill to help teach the true nature of love. Without intention he's doing that. Not only to be loved, but to love. We have to show that love to ourselves as well. God bless this incredible, brave young man. I wish him and his family the very best. He one day like the rest of us will cross over and leave his ailing body behind. His soul will go on unhindered and into the arms of total love. All is not lost.
John’s battle has reached me in a critical time in my life. I have heart failure which my lungs are killing my heart. My hemoglobin has been bad 8.0-8.1 for 2 years now and I’m on verge of needing blood transfusions. I also have open foot wounds that won’t heal and havnt for almost 3 years. Iv have close to a dozen surgeries on them with no luck. I can’t imagine how much pain John is in because it’s only my feet which the pain radiates up my legs. I am not diabetic so I feel everything. Drs havnt seen this before and I feel helpless. I have a good family but one of my best supporters, my father, has lost hope in me and now I’m lost. My finances are gone and soon I’m going to be without funds to continue. I’m at the verge of giving up John. Your story just hit me though and I admire your strength and selflessness. I need help. 😞
I'm so sorry, wishing you strength ❤ Are you or someone in your family able to open a go found me ? I'm sure many people want to help you ... much love my dear
"I cried because I had no shoes. Until i met a man who had no feet" What a remarkable young man. Dear God, please make this treatment work and give this incredible young man some relief from his suffering 🙏 I will never moan again. 🙏
This poor kid's life has been a living hell since birth, I can't even imagine what he goes through every single day... I hope this new treatment really helps him, God bless his strength and his family.
I have the same condition as Jonathan and I’m also currently in bed with the fan blasting towards me. I’m so glad that the gel is making a difference. I’m currently waiting to hear about when I’m going to receive this treatment. Just to finally get some relief on my wounds that won’t heal is going to be amazing. I really appreciate these videos. The more people become aware and the more people donate, the closer we are to finding a cure. ❤
John Hudson, I'm so sorry about the passing of your dad. Loss of a parent is truly devastating. I lost a parent too soon as well. Strength to you and your mom - you guys are incredible people.
We found out my son has EB it's localized to his hands and feet thank God. He's 24. We found out prob 2 years ago that it was actually EB not dyshidrotic eczema. This boy is literally so strong and his spirit is beautiful. What a dude 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, we are rooting for you John Hudson 💕 kudos to your momma for being a rockstar too. 🥰
@@meghan_. Yeah and a lot of people with disabilities are infantilized. His disorder restricts his growth. We shouldn't be referring to him as a kid just because of his size and voice.
@@DoABarellJo THIS YOUNG MAN. Oh wait I didn't ask pronouns either. People like you will pick things out of nowhere. You need a therapist and as the KIDS say, touch some grass boo.
I’ve followed John Hudson’s story for years and what always grabs me is the fact that when he talks about his birth, he’s always more concerned about how his parents must have felt. Saying he is an inspiration really doesn’t do him justice, you are just an amazingly beautiful person. I am so happy to hear this new treatment is helping you, I truly am.
Who else feels ashamed for complaining about anything after watching this kid? Thanks for sharing his story. I had no idea this condition existed until now.
RIP to Johns father and condolences to all who knew and loved him. I truly wish the best for John and his fight against EB. John has an endurance of pain at a threshold I could not imagine. His daily suffering is something hard to grasp.
One of the first things he says is he gets blisters behind his corneas!? He is already the strongest person I know, hope he gets as much happiness and good moments as anyone else in the world if not way more!!! Bless him
I remember him❤❤sending so much love, we are the same age! I donated after the last interview, i think John was the one who said something that i have written down: - What's the most important thing in your life? - The fact that I have one.... Thinking about this answer a lot.
I’m only a few years older than John Hudson and though I struggle with my own chronic conditions I can’t imagine how strong he is to go through what he deals with every day. I don’t think I could ever be that strong.
As someone who lives with a severe form of atopic dermatitis, my heart goes out to him. This is 100x worse and I'm really impressed with his resilience. I hope everyone is able to stay strong. Especially mentally.
My son has atopic dermatitis and he doesn't even have a life or go to school because of it. Seeing this kid and his mother makes me wanna keep going and not give up . He so strong ❤
What a pleasant surprise to see John Hudson on SBSK today! I honestly wasn't sure if he was even still with us, so seeing him today was so wonderful! This new treatment they're trying is exciting! I pray they're able to find a cure for EB. I would love to see him able to travel to Japan. John Hudson's humility is awe-inspiring! ❤❤
Hi John Hudson, I am from Japan, I would love to show you around Japan when you visit. I donated to the wrong EB research organization but sincerely pray cure will be found to help EB patients. Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration, bless you !
It's discouraging to see how much John Hudson has deteriorated over the years, but then the young man speaks... I always come away from his interviews admiring such a noble, humble man. He truly is a hero for all who have EB. I am so thankful to see real results coming about from research as awareness improves about this awful genetic disease. Praying for you and your sweet family, John Hudson. Losing your father had to be really hard for everyone.
13:21 "You know, some things change but that doesn't mean that you can't change with it and you can learn to make those things work" thank you John Hudson, you are so young and so wise, I wish you all the best!
Wow! What a Super Hero you are! I wrote before that I deal with pain all the time so that I spend my life in my bedroom & sometimes can be in our family room too. I'm 66 years old & you are much braver than I am in every way! Thank you for helping me get through my pain better & you give me hope & make me feel so much more confident in myself. Bless you Sweetheart. I will always pray for you & love you forever. Hugs, Emma
Look into the eyes of this young man. It tells more than any words could tell. He is a fighter, not for fame, not for glory, but out of necessity. An old man I barely knew told a friend of mine once: "There is nothing in life harder than life itself."
Very respectfully, this was a tough video to watch. I was taken back when John said that he was fortunate that his hands were in better shape than the majority of his body. This video is very humbling to watch. I wish this man the best. What’s stands out the most to me are his positivity and appreciation for all things big and small. This guy is a class act.
He’s 500x more mature than any 21-year-old I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious why, but I wish every high school and college freshman class would be made to watch this.
My sisters granddaughter will be one in June. She has EB. She's been in the hospital many times, just recently getting a tracheotomy and feeding tube. She's definitely a little fighter. I've been following John for many years. I'd like to thank John and SBSK for teaching me about this. Also John, thank you for being a big part of the research. You are one amazing young man!
I am literally in tears right now 😭… he has been through SO much. I remember seeing the very first video of him all those years ago and thinking MY pain couldn’t possibly be that bad… knowing hes still fighting gives me strength. John Hudson: I wish you all the best in life. I’m sorry about your Dad- my second Dad passed away last year… huge air hugs. I hope this new treatment gives you some relief and healing ❤️🩹 Much love, from Iowa
God, I'm not even finished watching the video yet but I want to just say, I could chat with John Hudson for hours. What an eloquent and smart guy. So empathetic to others too. MANY other 21 year old guys would do well to be more like John Hudson. Hopeful for the future and less pain and struggle for this family ❤
John is incredible. There’s really no way to describe this beautiful young man and his strength. Sending you prayers and love from afar and staying hopeful for a treatment that works so he can have good health
Chris has this superpower to always ask questions in the right way, right tone of voice, right empathy, right level of detail etc. You Chris deserve all the followers you have on the channel ❤
People with EB are so infinitely resilient. It blows my mind how they get through every day. I worked with a client with EB for a long time. No words to say just amazing she was. She passed away due to internal bleeding due to ongoing wounds. I'll never forget her. Nor will I ever forget John❤ Please donate to this cause to continue studying EB.

Immediately clicked on this when I saw it. Our hearts have all been with John for all these years. WOOOOOOO!!

Yes...I remember watching a video about him when he was a young boy. I felt so sad for him. I couldn't imagine having to live in so much pain all the time. I hope and wish they will find something to make his life easier.
Same here as well. I remember watching the first interview when it came out.

Mine too. ❤💔❤️
I was hoping that I just misheard him and when he started explaining the condition of his body, my heart stopped
Yeah that got me good. Then he said he's always in pain 😭
John is my age, yet 100x more of a badass than I'll ever be. Made me think twice about the stuff I complain about. Man is an absolute warrior. Truly inspiring.

i agree with your sentiment but at the same time we must realize that just because others struggle with much worse does not mean we are not allowed to feel down with challenges we face. but yea this kid is an absolute legend.

@@choccymilkconnoisseur2775Extremely well said. It’s the same argument people employ when they say you aren’t valid for struggling with anything in your life because there are children starving in impoverished countries… like what?
@@godsstrongestschizo I think the original comment has a point, though. We should be more grateful for what we have, and remember those who are less fortunate than us rather than looking up to those more fortunate than us. It helps put life in better perspective, and calibrates your level of gratitude and satisfaction. So while this doesn’t mean we should shut down any urge to complain or feel frustrated (which are perfectly normal human emotions), we should indeed realize that we are in a better position than millions (if not most) of the world’s population. Even the ability to hear, see, and feel, are tremendous blessings from the Creator.
Remember: the happiest people are not those who have more - but those who need less.
Peace.
It's not about complaining. Validate your feeling but always be grateful. Pray/ meditate and pay it forward ❤

Much love to you and your daughter. Does she want to do an SBSK episode, too? It helps to have more than one face of EB.
And I’m here crying about my acne. Holy brother this guy is a king.
I mean, the fact that he literally had his skin pulled off as a newborn and reflecting on that his first thoughts are of his parents! Truly an amazing human being!

The fact that John Hudson is experiencing excruciating pain constantly and can still be so thoughtful, well-spoken, patient, and respectful is incredible. I have a minor inconvenience or a headache and become irritable. He’s such an amazing person and I’m so hopeful about his future. I hope this new treatment can give him some relief and restore some of his mobility/independence. I hope a systemic (hopefully gene) therapy is on the horizon.
I'm the same way. It's so, so difficult to change who you are in that way, though. I don't know that it can fully be done for most of us. I've always wanted to be so level and patient under pressure. He's amazing.

That's the thing I'm taking away from this. I'm not going through anything near to what John is but, I do have chronic pain issues.
Time for me to change! 💜
I'm 25yo. I think I watch sbsk since I was a teenager I have watched the others John Hudson's interview. Every time he cries I cry too, but when he smiles it makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. He's really an inspiration. God bless his mom! I hope we find a cure for EB soon.

Interviews with John Hudson really make me wanna be his friend. Ik he can't physically do much (which ik is excruciating and I sympathize), but this guy has done so many things in life. Eb advocate, superhero, motivational speaker, involved with friends and family and charity. Lot of love in this guy, which he gives freely and is returned in spades. Always compassionate and thinking of others. I suspect palliative care they only found out about through his dad, but it's for more than just terminal patients, and I'm glad he's highlighting that.

@@dimitriskalofiris1777 Depression can happen without an external reason - sometimes a person's brain chemistry is just a bit off naturally, and the effects can be really severe depression. 🫶
I've also felt really, really hopeless from depression - and I still have depression. But thanks to medicine it's been so... faded? My dad helped advocate for me to try a different antidepressant that his doctor friend had talked about was relatively new still but works especially to help against low energy levels (which was a huge problem for me), and gradually it is really getting better. I take Sertraline (Zoloft) and Bupropion (Voxra). I hope so, so deeply that you can also get relief like this. You are doing so so well, having lived this far, and I'm really proud of you for how you've been holding on. Best of luck to you 🫶
Hello John Hudson! I am donating $50 worth of money to the EB research community. I send this money in honor of your story. It really inspired me, and I hope that you will go far someday. Never let anybody judge who you are! Be proud of yourself! I struggle with spina bifida. It really makes my life hard, but I persevere. Sincerely, Gage H (age 11) Edit from Gage's mom: Gage came home from a weekend away and was overwhelmed by the love and words of support for him and John Hudson both. Thank you all for building him up as you did.
Hi Gage! I’m sorry you struggle with spina bifida. I’m quite a bit older than you but I also struggle with chronic pain from other conditions. You seem like an incredibly caring, kind, and strong young man. Keep going strong, we believe in you!
Go Gage 😊 💪 what a fine young man you are already too
He and you are so strong. ❤
Generosity is a result of gratitude, for sure!🎉 Bless you both in your separate health journey's!🎉❤
Hi Gage! What a lovely person. I have a friend with spina bifida. She made it on to Team GB for the olympics, doing hand cycling (wheelchair cycling) and also does modelling. I doubt she imagined that at age 11. I hope you can do wilder, funner things than you can imagine yet :)
I have no problems. Zero. John's graciousness, kindness, gratitude, and caring nature are overwhelming. What an amazing person he is, and his mother loves him dearly, too.

The pain that poor child must be in and still speaks so humble, God Bless you ❤️
What really got me during this interview was the love for his cat, Romeo. The companionship and love that I know a cat can do for you is limitless. I wouldn't know where I would be if I didn't have my own Kitty by my side. I'm happy that he gets to know that feeling too.
😻😻😻
Hard agree❤
Yes. The gentle steps of Romeo with his soft fluffs. 💖 A special bond between cats and humans is one thing....but having such a companion with a gentle touch for John Hudson's medical condition. You do mean a lot to us John Hudson. A true superhero.
And it is like the cat is watching over and protecting him, too. 💕
Me too 💜
I cried when I saw the ending... His dad moved me so much in his second interview when he said that he never ever saw taking care of John as a burden and John laid his head on his shoulder in pure gratefulness 🤍
His Dad was lovely.
Oh! I remember that now. It is so sad learning that his dad passed away. How sad for John and his lovely mom.
@@iamjane9628 Some people, just cannot catch a break it seems.

Q: When somebody finishes watching this interview what do you hope they remember most from it?
A: I hope they remember that I'm not the only one going through this.
A completely selfless and benevolent answer. You're a good guy John, what happened to you is unfair and cruel, and to top it off you aren't bitter. That makes you a special type of person, I'm hoping the treatment works and they find even better ones to help you, and others suffering from EB.
Life is so unfair.
He also immediately mentions that, when he thinks about how traumatic the experience of his birth was, he mainly feels sad for his parents because of how frightening it must have been for them.
Yes this is so true of John. Amazing human with so much kindness. Hopefully this new treatment gives him and others a chance to live with less pain and itching, more mobility. Research should crank it up! Love to you John (and Romeo)!
God bless you, young man.

I CAN'T BELIEVE John is 21 years old!! I've followed you since the start...OMG...TIME IS FLYING....
Reading through the comments, I want you all to know that just because you don't have it as bad as John Hudson, doesn't mean your pain is invalid. We all have our struggles and they are just as real and impactful as they feel to you. The human body and brain are amazing at adapting, and some of us go through unthinkable traumas. But you don't need to be one of those people to justify your emotions, your feelings, your pain, your stress. The thought that "I can't complain because others have it worse" is incredibly self-deprecating and doesn't appreciate you for who you are as a person. Love yourself and those around you! Ask for help when you need it. The only person you should compare yourself to is your past self, because we always want to be learning and growing. Abandon toxic ideas like "I'm not worth it" or "I don't have the right to speak". We can appreciate and share love for ourselves at the same time as we share it for John. We can acknowledge that he has it worse, but also acknowledge that we ourselves may need help or relief. These concepts can exist together!
Exactly!
Thank you curo. Everything you said is true. I feel great compassion and empathy for this guy. The Bible basically states that when one grows old it to teach compassion in others. I don't believe growing old is a prerequisite for that though. I do believe that people come into our lives that are ill to help teach the true nature of love. Without intention he's doing that. Not only to be loved, but to love. We have to show that love to ourselves as well. God bless this incredible, brave young man. I wish him and his family the very best. He one day like the rest of us will cross over and leave his ailing body behind. His soul will go on unhindered and into the arms of total love. All is not lost.
I don't agree. A lot of people walk around with self inflicted issues. Complaining is not always valid
While I agree with you this does put so much into perspective. He’s a strong kid.

This is a holy person. Exudes grace and love. God bless him and his family.
Wow! What a Super Hero you are! I wrote before that I deal with pain all the time so that I spend my life in my bedroom & sometimes can be in our family room too. I'm 66 years old & you are much braver than I am in every way! Thank you for helping me get through my pain better & you give me hope & make me feel so much more confident in myself. Bless you Sweetheart. I will always pray for you & love you forever. Hugs, Emma
Look into the eyes of this young man. It tells more than any words could tell. He is a fighter, not for fame, not for glory, but out of necessity. An old man I barely knew told a friend of mine once: "There is nothing in life harder than life itself."
Very respectfully, this was a tough video to watch. I was taken back when John said that he was fortunate that his hands were in better shape than the majority of his body. This video is very humbling to watch. I wish this man the best.
What’s stands out the most to me are his positivity and appreciation for all things big and small. This guy is a class act.
He’s 500x more mature than any 21-year-old I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious why, but I wish every high school and college freshman class would be made to watch this.
At someone who is 20 I completely agree, he seems so much wiser than me and my peers, crazy how that much hardship can mature you like that.
I see people like this and it just crushes my spirit. God either doesn't exist or doesn't care about us.
such an optimistic brave human ! Able to focus on others despite constant pain and his own condition. Rare compassion.
My sisters granddaughter will be one in June. She has EB. She's been in the hospital many times, just recently getting a tracheotomy and feeding tube. She's definitely a little fighter. I've been following John for many years. I'd like to thank John and SBSK for teaching me about this. Also John, thank you for being a big part of the research. You are one amazing young man!
I am literally in tears right now 😭… he has been through SO much. I remember seeing the very first video of him all those years ago and thinking MY pain couldn’t possibly be that bad… knowing hes still fighting gives me strength.
John Hudson: I wish you all the best in life. I’m sorry about your Dad- my second Dad passed away last year… huge air hugs. I hope this new treatment gives you some relief and healing ❤️🩹
Much love, from Iowa
Me 2. This boy is a good soul . He fights with grace . He is a hero for us weaker 1s
God, I'm not even finished watching the video yet but I want to just say, I could chat with John Hudson for hours. What an eloquent and smart guy. So empathetic to others too. MANY other 21 year old guys would do well to be more like John Hudson. Hopeful for the future and less pain and struggle for this family ❤
John is incredible. There’s really no way to describe this beautiful young man and his strength. Sending you prayers and love from afar and staying hopeful for a treatment that works so he can have good health
Chris has this superpower to always ask questions in the right way, right tone of voice, right empathy, right level of detail etc. You Chris deserve all the followers you have on the channel ❤
What a tough, cool guy. He was more worried about what his parents went through when he was born than himself
People with EB are so infinitely resilient. It blows my mind how they get through every day.
I worked with a client with EB for a long time. No words to say just amazing she was. She passed away due to internal bleeding due to ongoing wounds. I'll never forget her. Nor will I ever forget John❤
Please donate to this cause to continue studying EB.
