When Kevin burst into his mother's room, crying and covering his ears, the only words he could get out were, "Make it stop! Make it stop! I want it to stop now!" It was a heartbreaking moment, one his mother will never forget. Confused and desperate to help, she held him for hours, praying for answers. Up until that moment, Kevin had described the voices in his head as his "friends." She never imagined those same voices would one day torment him.
This deeply personal moment is just one chapter in the powerful true story of a devoted single mother and her beloved son Kevin. Diagnosed with ADHD at just five years old, Kevin was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Raising four children alone, their mother faced immense emotional, financial, and spiritual challenges, yet through it all, she leaned on her unwavering faith in God and her unconditional love for her son.
Her story is a testament to the strength of a mother's love and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of mental illness. It sheds light on the real struggles families face behind closed doors and underscores the urgent need for compassion, awareness, and support for mental health in our communities.
