Celebrate Hope with Wei East this April During Autism Awareness Month

Submitted by Wei East on April 11, 2011 – 2:38 PM5 Comments

Dear Friends,

April means so much to me, not only because almost 14 years ago in April I gave birth to my first child, April is also autism awareness month.

I remember the first time I heard someone tell me my son is autistic, I did not even know what he was talking about. With Chinese English I thought he said he is an artist!

Today I am so happy to see there is more awareness about Autism and many resources have been developed to help families dealing with this puzzle.

I have to say it is truly not an easy task for any family to deal with an autistic child. If normal parenting is not easy, then at times Autistic parenting can be 100 times harder.  As parents you are at a loss, you just don’t know how to help your child and what is the best way.

Today I am happy to say for the first time he asked me to invite neighborhood kids and his friends to come to his birthday party, he even told me where he wanted the party, and picked a theme! I cannot even begin to tell you what all these means to me. Hooray Alex!

Celebrate April, Celebrate Hope.  Together we can work to help solve the autism puzzle and support one another along the way.

Love,

Wei

That boy has been a blessing all these years. Be prepared for great things to happen in your life thru that Special Child of yours!! God sends us special gifts for special reasons. Trust me when I tell you this!!! Love your products!!! WHEN ARE YOU ON AIR NEXT??? Linda from Ma.

      Dear Wei,
      God bless your family. I suffer from depression, and sometimes I just don’t want to go to all the trouble of putting on makeup or even washing my face. But when I look at all the great products I have bought from you, it perks me up and I love the way your products make me feel-Good. That’s saying a lot. Please don’t leave HSN, and continued to show all your products. Love you so much and hope your family and little boy continue to have success! Becca from North Carolina
