Michelle Dee kasama ang mga kapatid na sina Mazen at Adam
PINUSUAN at umani ng mga positive at inspiring message mula sa mga netizens ang nakaka-touch na social media post ng Kapuso actress at beauty queen na si Michelle Dee.
Ibinahagi kasi ni Michelle na napapanood gabi-gabi sa seryeng “Mga Lihim ni Urduja”, sa publiko ang tungkol sa kundisyon ng dalawa niyang kapatid na may autism.
Sa kanyang “HER story” video, muling nagbigay ng makabagbag-damdaming mensahe tungkol sa kanyang advocacy for autism awareness.
Mapapanood ito sa Empire Philippines YouTube page, kung saan ipinakilala nga ng Miss Universe Philippines candidate ang mga kapatid niyang sina Mazen at Adam, na parehong na-diagnose ng autism.
Dito, binalikan ng Kapuso star ang pagpunta nila sa Salcedo Park sa Makati, na naging bahagumi na ng kabataan nilang magkakapatid.
Pahayag ng Sparkle artist, “These are my two brothers, individuals on the spectrum. This is Adam (Lawyer), my younger brother. And this is Mazen, my older brother as well. So, all of us grew up here.
“When you have brothers in the spectrum, they also need a lot of exercise kaya lagi silang tumatakbo dito. Dito sila nag-e-exercise just to wind down and relax,” ang pagbabahagi ng anak ng dating beauty queen at aktres na si Melanie Marquez at former action star Derek Dee.
Pagpapatuloy pa ni Michelle, “This is why I advocate for autism awareness because my brothers needed it and everyone on the spectrum needs it too.”
“My advocacy is autism awareness. It’s something I had to struggle with my whole life, just, for me, the type of acceptance and understanding to live with them.
“It’s just so heartwarming seeing how much these kids evolved in the last five years. Some of them couldn’t even speak or function five years ago.
