Community Support Puts Mother’s Mind at Ease

It’s a story of struggle, strength, and the power of community. Tonight, a single mother is saying thank you, after the public stepped in to help her son get the medical care he desperately needed. Back in May, Bernadine Young opened up about her twenty-four-year-old son, Brenton Bishop, who battles mobility issues and frequent seizures. The road hasn’t been easy, but thanks to your generosity, Bernadine was able to get crucial CT scans and X-rays for her son. She says the journey is far from over, but with hope in her heart, she’s determined to get Brenton on the path to recovery.

 

Bernadine Young, Brenton’s Mother

“I love to say thank God for everything deep down inside, because as a mother, I did not give up. I pray, but I just want people to give me chance to just take my time. I didn’t come hurry because I was trying to get everything together. His CT scan before the CT scan was getting the paper over back from Dr. Matus. It did take one month and two weeks. So I mi have to day behind that until I get it, so I could get the quotation, so we can know how much everything come up to, because we don’t want to go back and forth. First of all, I make sure I get the two CT scan the X-ray for the back bone from the top to the tailbone and from the tailbone to the hip. From the hip to the whole right foot. So it showed that the right foot have a hole underneath when they inject it and then they bring out some spotty thing behind his feet. And that was healed from the grace of God. And me as a mother didn’t give up. I cry many nights. God knows what I went through. But thank God he’s coming along little bit by little bit. He start to walk like one step, two step, like every leg creep. It still make him progress. I will not give up until he get fully better.”

 

Young also plans to take Brenton to a bone specialist as soon as she has gathered the funds to do so.
