In this powerful and deeply moving video, Bethany Simmons opens up about her journey as an older sister to a brother who lives with an undiagnosable disability — a condition that has shaped their lives in ways most of us could never imagine.
Beth shares the raw and emotional truth of growing up with a sibling who breaks every mold. From the joyful moments of connection to the heavy realities of navigating the unknown, her story is one of love, resilience, and unshakeable family bonds.
At one point, Beth’s brother became critically unwell and was placed into an induced coma. Doctors didn’t expect him to survive — but he did. His strength and will to live have defied medical predictions time and time again.
Throughout the video, Beth reflects on what it’s meant to support him through the years — the challenges, the lessons, and the unconditional love that holds it all together.
The video concludes with Beth’s heartfelt thoughts on what a purpose-built care village — like the one Freedom to Thrive is developing — would mean for families like hers. A safe, supportive, inclusive community where she could continue to be by her brother’s side while knowing he is surrounded by people who understand and care.
