Wendy Gilker - Raising Bree 

IonCannoneers Maan, you are a poor idiot.

IonCannoneers lol

IonCannoneers They took rag doll too seriously 🤔

Sweet Cookie well its not learning or being anyone is she. she's ? basically noting they should just put her down she's basically nothing. she knows nothing is nothing like a waste of space no hate just truth

Happy Chappy correct your grammar.You know what you need?you need church how could someone possibly say something like that

She passed away? That’s so sad😢

@@jackeyedpeas4013 Yeah :-(

She's at peace now

You gave your heart to wendy

Hi

They're parents.

Thoroughly*

Ehhhh..... yes and no

Zachary, don't feel sorry

Yes it is challenging, yet just think that your brother wants to be wanted and love. You know I would always think, how would I want to be treated. If you can , I would look at the product ION - amazing results with autism. www.intelligenceofnature.com Just take it one day at a time. Yes you will feel exhausted yet and yes the hardest job yet stay in your heart. We are human and caregiving is the most stressful yet you can turn it around and make the situation the greatest blessing. My daughter was the greatest teacher I could of dreamed of. She made me better as I had to get healthier and be a better person to care for her. Yes I prayed and begged for guidance and help a lot. The constant worry about being able to keep food on the table and a roof does take a toll. Yet you have a very powerful purpose now, beyond what we can imagine. Ask for guidance and it will come at the perfect timing. You found this site - right, with all kinds of ideas. Bless you!!!

The daughter sadly passed away

Stop lying cuh

Matt Frost Kylie jenner...

Aly Segura Eugh...

Matt Frost g

Matt Frost we need more people like her

Matt Frost celebrates are praised because they give us music, movies, books etc, this woman is a great mother, but no who's going to turn up to her talking about her disabled child

I don't think I could, I love my daughter's very much but I even have a hard time taking care of myself at times, like just ensuring I eat, what a blessing for Bree to have you as her mama! I hope life is being good to you and I'm sorry for the loss of your baby girl, I know she's smiling down at you and so proud of everything you have done and continue to do

Oh wow new London new Hampshire I'm in Claremont!!!

Keyboard Guru cuz he thought it would cool to make this child

Their thanking him thats bree is still alive

Keyboard Guru I don't believe in God, but if an all-loving goddess spirit have made her daughter its probably because God wants to see what humans will do in that situation.

Nathan Beer Yes, but an omnipotent creator would not need to do that, since he/she would already know the results.

People use god when they cant handle real life. Its how religion came around, the bible was written by people to use law through fear to keep order. Its why now, people look to this god, purely out of fear because theyres nothing they can do themselfs. Not going to say believing in a god is a mental disorder, but it certainly is blinde.

Madisen Matherly They have a life. why are they alive. U need a life to live. But maybe you have a low life

Madisen Matherly your definition of living doesn't apply to them

i can't imagine doing this. I couldnt.

Madisen Matherly I guess u have no life then because living is more than the quality so if u have a disabled kid u gonna be wrong u would be as happy as a kid with no disability

i disagree. quality of life is everything. if i ever lost the ability to move or make decisions for myself, i would want people to give me back to god. same goes for my kid.

shay jefferson That's one hell of a detailed scenario.. Until I actually experienced that, I don't know what decision I'd make.

She is indeed

breebreecakes well it's the internet, people show their inner disgusting selves because there are no consequences.

It's not disgusting, I commend her for her hard work shes been doing for the past years, but honestly none of this should've happened to begin with. I'm a Christian and I know it's a horrible thing to say but people like this are too much of a burden, and you forget how to live. You either have to choose between horrible life for you, or horrible life for the child, which neither are good. For the mother I know she loves her child, but like she said by the time she's done caring for Bree, there is no time left for herself. I would rather die then let someone close to me feel misery for taking care of me.

So tell me your story that brings you to a conclusion like this? " I'm a Christian and I know it's a horrible thing to say but people like this are too much of a burden, and you forget how to live. You either have to choose between horrible life for you, or horrible life for the child, which neither are good.""

I do not think she needs too be put down

I agree

Sophie W Funny how we just discussed this in Biology today. what a life! She is truly amazing!

Sophie W yes i agree she cares so much

Sophie W I SO AGREE WITH YOU :D you could be the best mother to her

right

Sophie W yes I agree

Erin Lippitt I know right? it's sad how rare it is to see someone so selfless and caring

Harley Steele - it isn't rare at all. I've been an RN for over 25 yrs and my husband is a Paramedic. Not only do MANY families take care of disabled family members for years (often a second generation taking over) - but foster parents adopt moderately to severely handicapped children, as in more than once. They are truly incredible people to meet and work with.

+Angie Feingold kids ending up on street for as little as autism isn't uncommon either though

Angie Feingold Sorry I wasn't saying it was rare in general I was saying it's rare to see. I don't think carers get enough credit or recognition. People often overlook it.

autism can be extremely severe though its a huge spectrum

Auje Chu

Auje Chu yeah that is true

Auje Chu I love this comment so much you know there aren’t a whole lot of people who realize this so thank you for this

Auje Chu damiyah ❤️💕💖

You dont stop taking care of your child after a year, Parents take care of their children until they're at least 18(if they don't have any special needs like this one), and then their job is done. But even after they turn 18 they will still take care of their child if they need it no matter what

Wills Sports Hour! Yes

Wills Sports Hour! Sike

Wills Sports Hour! She's lying. That type of life isn't enjoyable for either of them.

rilan smith omg that made me cry

in tears..:(

I love this comment so much *in tears* ❤ may god bless her soul 😢

rilan smith god bless this made me cry

rilan smith I'm very sorry she shall be with you in your heart bless her❤️

oliviaLOVEShenry agreed!

oliviaLOVEShenry in Germany you don't have to fight for this. When you are sick or like cases like bree you get everything from the government to help you. Yes we have high taxes that everyone have to pay but it's for health and education. You got your legs broken and your child has Down Syndrom? Furthermore your other child wants to study on university? No problem. Government pays your hospital bill, helps you out with your sick child and university is free. Everything in our system concentrates on socialism and helping you out on health issues. And that's why you don't see many homeless people in Germany. If you can't afford a decent life you get helped by a program called Harzt 4. There is no chance that someone has to sell its house because medical treatment it too expensive. For me it's unbelievable.

even in Australia it's hard to get any access to this kind of help. my sister is special needs but because she doesn't come under the umbrella of autism we have no access to any form of help or sometimes fundamental carers. It's quite strange the lengths you have to go to if you're in these situations.

I have to disagree. A Mother's love knows know bounds and she is doing everything she can but her role is exhausting and her fight is relentless. We as a society should be caring for Wendy as she cares for Bree.

Thank you so much for this. It's appalling how little support the care givers get, and care givers need a lot of support. I was a caregiver for several years and worked with people very similar to Bree, some worse off, and there is not one day that isn't exhausting and a little scary at some point or another. It's mentally and emotionally draining knowing something could go wrong and someone could die at any moment, and every little thing you do matters drastically. People sugarcoat how hard it is to raise a child like Bree. This mom was totally honest and has a good head on her shoulders. Unfortunately she can't take care of her forever and at some point Bree will probably end up in a group home or with a relative perhaps. Where I worked, I can't tell you how rare it was that a family member came into the group home to visit one of the clients. It was so rare. Some parents can't handle it, it's a full time job, and for caregivers the pay is extremely little. It was near minimum wage for me and we did not get raises because the government kept cutting funds on us. Nobody wanted to work there. The job was tireless and it was difficult to get vacations, veeeeeeerrrry little pay and you would witness disturbing things there that many couldn't handle on a daily basis. As a result we were always so low on people, and it was common that new staff wouldn't make it past the 3rd month. They were literally hiring people off the street out of desperation, and this meant they were hiring a lot of bad people that didn't care for the clients, as well. So in the end the real victims become those with the disabilities. So it really is not selfish for a caregiver to ask for more support or pay. It is a draining job and the clients deserve and need the very best care. When people say "well the parent is just happy taking care of their child and that's all they need!" I dare you to do this work all day every day and see the sacrifices you make and what it can do to your physical and emotional health, not to mention your finances. Many don't love their family members that are in conditions like Bree and it's a terrible thing-- but those who are true family and care for them get fucked over no matter how much they love and take care of the disabled person.

g59 maya yeah and some people abort there children that don't have ANY disabilities and it's horrible

babybiscuit11 cause birth is too fucking expensive and caring for a child costs a hell lot. Abortion is cheap and effective, plus it helps the mother.

Paper Weight Potato they should've used a condom it's their fault

When condoms break

Paper Weight Potato adoption is always a choice damn

Havok Sosa You act as if she is an animal.

The Bee's Wrinkly Knees I'm sorry if I made it sound that way, but I don't think that.

Let's change "put down" to "mercy death". Havok Sosa i feel ya like if i was ever unable to do things for myself i'd like to put an end to it...but sadly bree can't really say what she wants.

You might feel that way if you were born healthy then became incapacitated due to illness or injury. If you had enough awareness to remember your life before and compare it to after. But if you were born this way and have no understanding of anything but your mothers care (of which there is an abundance) then you probably wouldn't think life was so bad.

Same. I'd definitely want to be euthanized.

Veronica Menke yeah for nothing

She shouldn't have had to.

That's what you do for your children

This is what your inspiration should look like. This woman is everything

True! ❤

Sara K this girl is an adult i believe

Pencil Sketch Yes. Her mom says that she was born in 1980, so she should be 36 years old.

Sara K I love your channel :)

.

q_q cHatty ..

She is.

pretty much is

Vault-Tec Rep she is

The dislikes might be people who feel terrible for this 2 pretty woman

I think you're right. Because I disliked this at first since I really felt sorry for the mum that she lived like this for so long and for Bree that she is ill like that (if I was in that condition and had the choice, I honsetly would prefer to die). But then I turned my dislike into a like because of the inspirating spirit of that mum and her positive energie.

Too bad your "God" will not hear them

Harrison Jones Why do people always bring that into the comment section. Just stop it's like you WANT to start and argument. Everyone has different opinions and people have faith in God, but you have to come in and start stuff. Just please stop.

Harrison Jones dud STFU if you dont believe in god then keep that to yourself and say something nice. if yoy dont want to say something nice then keep quiet. i dont believe in god either but at least i don't make rude comments. and at least i would open my mouth to say something nice. besides the lecture.... Wendy you are an amazing and wonderful mother😊 you and bree are amazing people. we all support you guys. love ya!❤

Zeelols I feel ya.

Zeelols yeah

same

Zeelols Thought I was the only one, I think I'll just adopt because everything about getting pregnant seems scary

Tinyowl123 AJ hahahaha as a ace individual I agree! But like just giving birth sounds awful and bloody

Libby Evans agreed

Libby Evans

RhysSky I'm desabled

Tinker Tailor hope your life gets better😍😘😭

Such judgment for people you don't know who may say things to the contrary of your beliefs.

It's so cute

same

SKYYY Msp don't say it

Malliah Reyn fuck you

Malliah Reyn and God blessed you with the heart of Satan. No such thing as perfect. Jesus knows it. Before talking about Hod, read the Ten Commandments in the bible.

HelloWorld that's awesome I love Satan.

Joseph Riley no thanks, i don't sleep with strangers.

wonderful daughter as well

This lady is a legend. Not many people would keep taking care of there disabled daughter for aslong as she has. Most people would have just put her in a home. Wendy if you read this you are a wonderful person.

glo ria you can also good soul

Kelo60 it is so beautiful that she is doing everything she can to KEEP taking care of her

A really WONDERFUL mother would have ended her daughters suffering.

What is Life so true

What is Life i would have killed it

What is Life that's just life

"Blessed"?? Yeah, she was blessed alright. It's so obvious.

Succ Yo Tiddys Bich LMAOO CHILL

cheekyoziechick isn't that the truth

You mean nature and human kindness. God isn't real

Rena Ryuugu Don't start pointlessly saying god isn't real and starting debates..

Rena Ryuugu why would you bring the "God isn't real" into this? People like you give atheists bad names. You don't have to comment something negative like that. Let people trust in what they want and talk about religion without downing them.

howto42 yeah, I can see how it could be exploitative, of course how she talks about her daughter and somewhat of how she seems to treat her could be that way, but there's a lot we don't know. Such as maybe she could be doing this to bring light to such a disability, for example, I didn't know they could crawl. I thought they were wheelchair bound. But she might be doing the best she can.

buggld oh god yea >

buggld same like I really wonder

Most likely she'll live in a nursing home.

buggld me too but hopefully she gets better.

i'm 99% Bree will die before Wendy bc people with disabilitys die younger

nicktune1219 bree died

nicktune1219 i agree with u 💯

nicktune1219 so glad nobody disliked this comment. my faith in humanity has been restored!!!! 🐱🐱🐱🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😇🙂😉😉🙂😣🙂😁🙂😎😐🤗😥🙂🙂🙂😘🙂🙂🙂🤗☺☺ ☺😶☺😁

36**

you guys are bullies making fun for him or her messing up the years...get a life

It is 36 years.

+Kaelah Edwards Cry me a river bitch

+Magenta meow No shit you autism

I literally wrote that in the middle of the video. Now that I've seen the whole thing, I think she's even more wonderful. She should have a GoFundMe page.

Riya Jose AMEN!!!!!

Nina La Bella can she stand up $:|

LpsDogs AndCats no she can not

Nina La Bella my mom is single with two kids me my brother my brother has tics learning disability dislexia and a sleep problom

Nina La Bella yeah

Unfortunately she wasted 37 years the girl is dead now

Do you think Bree would know the difference where she was.

cassidy tracey Yes.

cassidy tracey h

Kayla Ogletree unlike others who abuse the system.

Kayla Ogletree agree

vanessa swaringim

yes ma'am, agreed!

unfortunately the systems even where I'm from would rather give the funding to their own to raise peoples children than to give it to those who deserve it.

Pengu. :3 she's dead?

January 5th, 2017 ;;

Sophia Loudwatcher Whhhaaaaaat!!!

She's dead?

Pengu. :3 😭😭😭😭

Ares Bruna really, I couldn't tell but thanks for the help

trillwill ! you're welcome darling! whenever you feel like a dumb ass bitch call me and I'll give you some vocabulary in english like I did 💙

hunna dae tf

And this is what we call a failed birth

Guys I wasnt trying to be rude and I'm sorry if anybody got offended really, I just thought it was odd that you pointed out the obvious

they are everywhere, you just have to know where to look

no, like Wendy and other loving caregivers

!00% agree with you Catherine. Valgurm's comment is not even worth a reply.

Lynn Rossi wow those words are so simple yet so beautiful God Bless your heart

Lynn Rossi she is an amazing mom #worldsgratestmom

Lynn Rossi yes

Lynn Rossi she is an amazing mother 💙💜

Lynn Rossi

Yeah, she's beautiful on the inside and outside. People just need to open up their eyes.

Asriel The Dreamer j

angela marsden having 3 children with minor mental health problems doesn't equate to having a girl or guy? idk that is physically almost crippled and has sever mental issues, I understand the quality of life but if it requires you to change the diaper of a almost grown human and treat them like a child when they're almost grown, isn't a great life worth living

Poweralth Everybody has their own conception of a good life. I'm sure this lady receives a lot of joy from her constant work for Bree. That is not to deny she works very hard and her job must be difficult.

having 3 children with disabilities in a row? did you smoke drink or do drugs because thats awfully suspicious

angela marsden is bree a man? or little girl because i cant tell the difference

Perfect_ Circle girl she says her and she a lot in the vid lol

Sophie Reading

Sophie Reading Yes, she's a strong mother! Bri-bri is taken care of so well!

Sophie Reading I do not think that Bree is lucky at all, no offense

Yes she is

She's lucky to have a mother that actually cares about her. Most people would either institutionalize or disown her.

Simply Anonymous i know

I agree! I can't believe the comments on videos like these. These people aren't human!

FrackMeister Agree :))
