Rest in peace and without pain, John. Thank you for sharing your journey and fearless advocacy.
May we all remember to focus on gratitude and service to others.
A big hug to you all

It is always difficult to say goodbye to the people we love, and today we must do just that. John Hudson passed away on April 19th at the age of 23. I can’t fully put into words how much he meant to me, how highly I thought of him, or the profound impact he had on my life. For 9 years, we worked together to share his story of living with Epidermolysis Bullosa, a cruel disease also known as butterfly skin. During that time, I had a front-row seat to one of the strongest, bravest, funniest, kindest, and most sincere people I have ever known. My friendship with John Hudson has left a permanent mark on my soul, and I will carry him with me everywhere I go. I’ve created a video to honor John Hudson and share more of his story for those who would like to spend more time with him, it’s in the comments below. Thank you, John Hudson, for everything.

" April 2nd is not only my birthday but also Autism Awareness Day. I understand what it feels like to be ostracized, what it feels like to be perpetually lonely. With that understanding I have created a professional and personal mission to lessen those feelings for everyone else, to the best of my capability. To the ASD parents out there, we see you, we salute you. To my awesome ASD buddies, thank you for showing me the world through a different lens. What a blessing. A big hug to you all. Let's keep doing the good work. " - Adriana CTRS/Founder

Painful to watch.
If only they offered to help him complete his transaction instead of traumatizing him.

We must do better
