Thank you so much for sharing our son's story! For anyone interested in helping Andrew HEAL even further, a TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation can be made for his medical treatments this summer. We need to raise $15,000 more by June to make it happen. Here is the link for more info. Your prayers and help are so appreciated! ~ Kellie https://prayforandrew.wordpress.com/how-to-help/
Thank you all! We very sincerely appreciate your votes and your kind words of support for our son, Andrew! Being on Ellen to spread the word about HOPE and HEALING for cerebral palsy and other brain related disorders would be an answered prayer! Please keep praying -- voting -- sharing! Thank you! ~ Kellie https://prayforandrew.wordpress.com/how-to-help/
Andrew's mother and father are working very hard to get the treatments Andrew needs. His father is an amazing teacher and my son was fortunate to have him for 2 years. Please help Andrew if you can. This little boy has over come many challenges and his father is ALWAYS helping students so I am hoping that his kindness can be reciprocated by Andrew, his only son getting the help he needs.
Andrew is the sweetest little boy. He never gives up. He is such an amazing kid. I've watched him grow up and face his challenges head on. He even competed and completed a Spartan race. He never gives up. A real super hero. I love this little boy so much. His parents are the reason he has advanced and achieved so many of his goals. They are selfless in their love and support of Andrew!
This kid is phenomenal! The healing he's received has been nothing short of a miracle. His parents are THE hardest working people I've ever met. There is nothing they wouldn't do for their precious little boy. It has been overwhelming and inspiring to see this mom and dad seek out every option available to improve their child's health since he was born. They are not just advocates for their son, though. They bring awareness to many many other children and special needs any way they can. The Burkhart family deserves a national platform to help spread awareness and increase their influence. This would be a golden opportunity that we would all be most grateful for!
Although the medical health insurance companies do NOT cover expenses of non traditional medical procedures, that does NOT stop Andrews parents from seeking the treatments that actually help their son. These treatments are daily, weekly and yearly. They are out of pocket and costly. They all work tirelessly as a team to accomplish these treatments, that work. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity for the best medical treatment for their individual health needs. Please vote for Andrew and share his story.
I have had the wonderful pleasure of knowing this great family for a few years now. Andrew is such an amazing young man with a very huge heart. He loves Jesus and he loves his family very much. His parents are on a mission to help him with his daily challenges. They want what every parent wants for their son. This family deserves so much for all they do for their son and others.
I have seen such amazing progress with Andrew in the past 4 years. His Mommy and Daddy do EVERYTHING they can to help him lead a better more "normal" life!! Andrew works very hard on his PT and ST and endures many hours of riding in a car to get his monthly treatments at home. Mommy shares her info with many other parents. I know that Ellen would LOVE interviewing Andrew!!
This is a very deserving young man to have his story told. He has come so far in his short life to overcome the affects of Cerebral Palsy. His treatments are so expensive, but so necessary for him to continue to progress. The technique used in his fight for progress needs much more exposure for its success. The treatments are not covered by insurance, and yet they are so necessary. PLEASE vote for this young man for this method of treatment to become more well known so that it can be covered by insurance.
Andrew is a great, super-bright kid who works really hard to improve his physical condition. He is blessed with parents who tirelessly pursue every means possible to help Andrew on his way to overcoming his condition. This family truly deserves every bit of help and support that can be made available to them.
Andrew and I have become friends over the years as we work together on gaining strength and balance to improve all daily functional gross motor skills. Andrew is an awesome person who loves people! His parents are amazing just as much as Andrew and they are always putting Andrew's needs first over their own. Love Them and blessed to know them!
I've been praying for this family for a few years. I have passed their successful alternate treatment story on to many others who are now either looking in to it or using this treatment also. They deserve the help. What they are doing is working, it's alternative, it's ground breaking, it's wonderful.
I have found Andrew's story because my daughter that is 1 and half has cerebral palsey. She has so much determination and it crushes my momma heart to see her try try again and fail. Andrew's journey is such a breath of 'fresh air'...i want Andrew's story to get out! I want to pursue some of these options for our Whitney! Andrew's parents work so hard to give him the best shot of quality of life! And Andrew...oh he's so inspirational!! ...He gives life all he's worth...and a lot more goes into that than we know!!! He's a fighter! He's an overcomer!!
Andrew is an amazing little boy who has overcome sooo much in his short lifetime thus far! He will continue to grow in every way possible, and much of it is because of the hard (and truly never-ending!) work that his mom and dad commit to him on a daily basis. He IS their life...please vote for Super Andrew!!!
Andrew is a true inspiration to many people!! He keeps working hard and with the help of his Mommy and Daddy is getting many different kinds of alternative treatments. His progress is truly amazing!! It is a shame that the insurance companies do not pay for alternative treatments!! Praying that Andrew gets on your show, you will just love him to pieces.
Andrew really impressed me last Sunday in our Hospitality Room at church. He stopped by with his parents to get a snack and noticed we were beginning to clean up. He pitched in and helped clear dishes and trays without being asked, and he had the most satisfied smile on his face. He is a precious little boy who is kind and helpful and always puts his all into whatever he does.
Anyone that has seen the change in Andrew in the past 3 years, like i have, can tell you what a difference these alternative treatments are making in his life. It is a crime that insurance companies do NOT pay for alternative treatments when they can improve the lives of children!!! These precious children will have a better life and will require less medical care as they grow older. Ellen you would LOVE having Andrew on your show!! He is a bright young man and so loving and caring.
I wish i could vote every day for precious Andrew!!! He is so brave and faces his many medical appointments with so much enthusiasm!!! Between God, Mommy, Daddy and Andrew, his life is getting better every day. Daddy works 3 teaching jobs to pay for monthly treatments. Mommy takes Andrew to Dr appointments, PT and all of his other activities that are helping him grow stronger. Mommy helps guide many people on FB to get the care for their children that had CP, she makes everyone more aware of the treatments available for these precious children. Andrew has the most precious smile and in case you haven't noticed. he usually has pretty ladies around him lol. You would LOVE talking to him. Please bring him on your show and help him get the necessary funds for his summer treatment.
I pray hard you will consider Andrew for the appearance on your show. He works very hard at his continued therapy and treatments needed to fight off Cerebral Palsy. He never quits. Always moves forward with Gods plan for his life. Inspiring others a long the way. His parents work tirelessly to provide what insurance DOES NOT COVER. It's really a shame that the very treatments that WORK, are not covered. Maybe, just maybe some national exposure will help Andrew and so many other special people.
Andrew is an amazing young man. His parents deserve so much credit for all they do to help him. I see him at church, and he is all boy, but very well behaved, he listens to his parents and he puts 100% effort into all he does. I follow his progress on Facebook through his mom's posts. It is unbelievable to see how much they have to go through just to pay for his treatments. I have their family on my prayer list.
Just look at that smile!!!! How could you say "NO" to visiting with a young man with a smile like that!! Super Andrew is a wonderful young man. His parents work so very hard to help him become stronger and stronger and to win the battle with CP. This is such a loving and caring family that has won my heart and will win yours too!! Please consider helping them with this journey of theirs.
