Kid of the Week
Brave Me Kid of the Week
October 9 – October 16, 2019
Ruby, 6 years old, thinks one of the best ways to stay positive when you have asthma is to get extra snuggles from your Mom and think about happy memories. Not only is she brave about her asthma, but one thing she does for fun (to avoid a daytime trigger) would definitely terrify some people. Ruby – YOU ROCK!
“It can be difficult in the spring when pollen is all around. So, we wait until nighttime and then we go around looking for snakes. We have bunches of them as pets! When I have to be indoors, I like to do crafts, paint, draw, sing songs and play my ukulele. I make up my own songs and the words too as I go along.”
Nominate a Brave Kid!
When it comes to bravery, kids are amazing! Moms and Dads, grandparents, siblings, relatives, teachers, nurses and doctors are often blown away by the strength of a kid they know who is facing a scary procedure or handling a medical condition. We want you to tell us about the brave kid in your life. If we choose them as the Brave Me Kid of the Week, they will be featured in the Brave Me Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages @BraveMeRoars and of course here on the braveme.com website. They will also get a Brave Me gift card to select the gift of their choice (a Brave Me cape, T-shirt, Riley stuffed animal, etc.) They will feel good knowing they can inspire other kids just like them to remember to always be Brave Me!

RJ is one of those kids you just love the second you meet him! He may be only 4, but he has the strength of a lion and handles his diabetes with great courage. When he got his Brave Me cape, he told his Mom – “I’m a Diabetes SUPERHERO!” ❤ We couldn’t agree more RJ ❤
“I love to learn about karate. Now, I have a yellow belt and then when I’m older – I’ll have a black belt. I love dinosaurs and think I would be a good T-Rex because I like to be loud. If there’s a time I’m feeling sad, I just get a tissue, wipe my tears away and be happy!”

Sebastian’s one awesome kid who turns 11 today! 🎉🎈 He had to dig deep a while ago to find his inner bravery and get an X-ray, which showed that he broke his ankle playing football.
“I calmed down by listening to my Mom and by her telling me that everything is going to be OK. My Mom is the bravest person I know! She fights through everything. Even with all that’s happened to her – no matter what she still takes care of me and takes me places. I’m very happy that I have her!”

At only 10 years old, Elyse is WISE beyond her years. Her words about staying positive and strong in the face of Type 1 Diabetes are truly inspiring! She’s a true ray of sunshine 🌞
“When I feel sad, I love to draw or listen to music. It makes me feel much more calm. I also love animals because they are so cute and I really want to be a veterinarian!”
