In this emotional and deeply inspiring episode, I sit down with a powerful mother whose 3-year-old son, Andre, went from battling the flu to fighting for his life after being diagnosed with encephalopathy. What followed was a 3-month hospital stay filled with uncertainty — but also filled with unwavering faith.
She shares how her prayers, determination, and refusal to accept anything but hope became the lifeline for her son. From asking doctors to speak only life over him, to starting the “Team Andre” brand to raise funds for his ongoing care, this episode is a raw and real testimony of the strength of a mother, the power of faith, and the miracles that can happen when you believe.
