The lights of New York City shone brightly, but for Jack and Alex, they were just a constant reminder of what they didn’t have. Jack, 13, and Alex, 10, wandered the streets looking for a safe place to spend the night. The sidewalks were hard, the alleys cold, and the sense of abandonment always present. They had lost their parents in a car accident two years ago. Since then, their lives had turned into a constant battle for survival. Without any family to take them in, they ended up on the streets, quickly learning that trusting strangers could be dangerous…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
“Jack, I’m hungry,” murmured Alex, tugging at his older brother’s dirty jacket sleeve.
Jack looked at his brother with sad eyes. Hunger was a constant companion, a hole in his stomach that never seemed to go away. “I know, Alex. Let’s try to find something to eat,” Jack replied, trying to keep hope alive for both of them.
They headed to an area known for its generous dumpsters, where restaurants discarded food that was still edible. But that night, the cold wind cut their faces, and the feeling of despair seemed even heavier. They rummaged through one dumpster after another, finding little more than scraps that wouldn’t satisfy either of them. Jack was about to give up when Alex found a moldy piece of bread.
“Here, Jack,” Alex exclaimed, holding the bread with a triumphant smile.
Jack looked at the piece of bread, divided it in two, and gave the larger portion to Alex. “Eat, Alex. You need it more than I do,” he said, trying to hide his own hunger.
Days turned into weeks and weeks into months. Life on the streets was a mix of constant fear and fleeting moments of relief. One night, while they were sleeping in a dark alley, they were awakened by screams and the sound of breaking bottles. Jack held Alex tightly, trying to keep him quiet and safe until the noise passed.
“Jack, I’m scared,” whispered Alex, his eyes wide with terror.
“So am I, Alex, but we’ll stick together, always,” Jack promised, feeling the weight of responsibility.
The need to find a safer place led them to the clandestine shelter run by Maria. It was a hidden place, far from prying eyes and street dangers. Maria was a strong woman with a huge heart, dedicating her life to caring for abandoned children.
“You’re safe here, boys,” Maria said on their first night, offering them a blanket and a hot meal.
Jack and Alex found brief relief at the shelter, but they knew they couldn’t depend solely on Maria. Resources were scarce, and Maria worked miracles with the little she had. Jack decided he would do whatever he could to help. During the day, while Maria took care of the younger children, Jack and Alex went out to the streets looking for anything useful. They collected cans to sell, searched for food and clothes in good condition in dumpsters, and tried to avoid trouble.
On one of these outings, they found an old blanket thrown away. It was dirty but still warm. Jack carried it back to the shelter, feeling a small pride for being able to improve the situation a bit.
“Good job, Jack. Every little thing helps,” Maria said with a tired but sincere smile.
But the difficulties didn’t stop. The nights were cold, and hunger continued to haunt them. On a particularly hard day, Jack and Alex were caught trying to steal apples from a fruit stand.
“Hey, thieves!” yelled the stall owner, running after them.
Jack grabbed Alex’s hand and ran as fast as he could, his heart pounding in his chest. They barely escaped, hiding in an alley until the danger passed.
“Jack, I just wanted an apple,” said Alex, panting, tears in his eyes.
“I know, Alex. I know,” Jack replied, hugging his brother.
Despite all the challenges, the brothers never lost hope. They knew they had to keep fighting, one day at a time. They learned to fend for themselves, trust each other, and avoid dangers. They found solidarity in other homeless people who sometimes shared the little they had.
One particularly cold night, while sleeping in a narrow alley, they were approached by a group of older teenagers. Jack tried to protect Alex but ended up getting punched in the face. The blow made his lip bleed, and he tasted the metallic taste of blood mixed with street dust.
“Leave them alone!” shouted a voice, and a large, bearded man who had been living on the street for years intervened. “These boys have nothing you want. Get out of here!”
The attackers retreated, casting threatening glances but leaving without causing further harm. The man approached Jack and Alex, offering a cloth to clean the blood.
“Are you boys okay?” he asked, his voice deep but gentle.
“Yes, thank you,” Jack replied, still trembling with fear and adrenaline.
“My name is George. If you ever need help, you can find me,” he said before disappearing into the darkness.
Jack and Alex were grateful but knew they couldn’t always count on luck. Each day was a struggle to survive and each night a new challenge. The city, with all its glitz and glamour, seemed indifferent to the suffering of the two brothers.
Days went by with Jack and Alex trying to stay out of trouble. They found small acts of kindness from strangers like Mr. Thompson, the owner of a small grocery store who sometimes left a bag of old bread and fruit near the trash, knowing the boys would pass by.
“Thank you, Mr. Thompson,” Jack always murmured, even if the man wasn’t around to hear.
But not everyone was kind. One cold morning, the brothers were woken by policemen doing a round.
“What are you boys doing here?” asked one of the officers, his tone stern.
“We’re just trying to find a place to sleep,” Jack replied, trying to hide his fear.
“You can’t stay here. Go to a shelter or something,” said the officer without much interest in actually helping.
“Come on, Alex,” said Jack, pulling his brother away before things got worse.
In these comings and goings, Jack and Alex began to understand the true face of survival on the streets. The constant struggle to find food, the need to protect themselves from dangers, and the endless search for a safe place. The only thing keeping them together was Jack’s promise to never let them be separated.
One especially cold and desolate night, the brothers were more desperate than ever. The restaurants had closed, and they hadn’t found anything to eat all day. Hunger and cold made every move harder, every decision heavier.
“Jack, I’m so tired,” Alex whispered, his eyes filled with tears.
“I know, Alex. Let’s look just a little more,” Jack said, trying to hide his own exhaustion and despair.
While searching for food behind a luxury restaurant, the smells of food coming from the windows were almost torturous. They were about to give up when Alex found something shiny at the bottom of the dumpster.
“Jack, look at this!” Alex exclaimed, holding up a golden credit card.
Jack took the card carefully, his eyes wide with surprise and disbelief. It was a Visa Platinum, a credit card symbolizing wealth and power. His heart began to race as he thought about the possibilities.
“Alex, this could help us a lot. We could buy food and medicine for the shelter,” Jack said, his voice full of cautious hope.
“Will they catch us?” Alex asked, worried.
Jack knew using the card was risky, but the need was greater. They needed help, and at that moment, that card seemed like the only way out.
“Let’s be careful. We’ll help Maria and the kids,” Jack decided, feeling a mix of nerves and determination.
As they returned to the shelter, Jack held the card tightly, knowing their lives were about to change in ways they could never imagine. The next morning brought an unusual bustle to the shelter. Maria was organizing the few supplies they had while the children played with worn-out and makeshift toys. Jack and Alex were eager to tell her about the credit card they had found.
“Maria, we need to talk to you,” said Jack, pulling her to a more private corner.
Maria looked at the boys with a worried expression. She knew that tone of voice and sensed that something important was happening.
“What is it, boys?” she asked, trying to hide her anxiety.
Jack took the credit card out of his pocket and showed it to Maria. Her eyes widened at the sight of the golden card.
“Where did you get this?” she asked, taking the card carefully.
“We found it in the dumpster behind a restaurant,” explained Jack. “We know it’s risky, but we thought we could use it to buy food and medicine for the shelter.”
Maria looked at the card, then at the boys. She knew they were desperate for help but also understood the risks involved. Still, the need was too great to ignore.
“We have to be very careful,” she said finally. “We’ll use it only for the essentials and make sure no one can trace it back to us.”
With a plan in mind, Maria, Jack, and Alex set out to get supplies. They went to a convenience store where Maria bought non-perishable food, clothes, and medicine. Jack and Alex helped carry the bags, feeling a mix of relief and nervousness. At the checkout, Maria swiped the card with trembling hands. Time seemed to drag as they waited for the transaction to be approved. Finally, the beep of the terminal indicated the purchase went through. They breathed a sigh of relief.
Back at the shelter, the arrival of the supplies was met with enthusiasm. The children crowded around the bags, their eyes shining at the sight of food and new clothes.
“Thank you, Maria!” they shouted in unison, hugging her.
Jack and Alex stood by, watching the scene with satisfied smiles. They felt proud to have been able to help, even if it was
in a risky way.
“You did a good job, boys,” said Maria with a warm smile. “But remember, we have to be careful.”
The following days saw a significant improvement in the shelter’s conditions. There was enough food for everyone, clean clothes, and medicine for those who needed it. The children were happier and healthier, and Maria felt a weight lifted from her shoulders.
However, the happiness was short-lived. Mr. Eduardo, the owner of the credit card, quickly noticed the unusual transactions. He was not a man who overlooked any irregularity in his financial control. Furious, he decided to investigate. Using his influence, Eduardo traced the purchases to the clandestine shelter. He was not only a powerful politician but also a ruthless man who didn’t hesitate to use underhanded means to achieve his goals.
He arrived at the shelter on a rainy afternoon, his imposing presence causing immediate silence among the children. Maria went out to meet him, her heart pounding in her chest.
“Can I help you?” she asked, trying to stay calm.
“I’m Eduardo. Some purchases made with my credit card were traced to this location. I want to know what’s going on,” he said, his voice cold and authoritative.
Maria felt a chill. She knew this moment could come but wasn’t prepared for the intensity of the situation.
“Mr. Eduardo, please come in. We can talk,” she said, trying to buy some time to think.
As Eduardo entered, Jack and Alex watched from a distance, feeling a mix of fear and guilt. They knew things could get complicated but hadn’t imagined the card’s owner would come personally.
“Boys, stay calm,” said Maria, noticing their worried looks. “I’ll handle this.”
In the main room, Maria tried to explain the situation to Eduardo, talking about the desperate need of the children and how the credit card had been an unexpected hope.
“I understand that what we did was wrong, but we were desperate,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.
Eduardo listened in silence, observing the children playing in the corner of the room. His eyes scanned their small, vulnerable faces, seeing the misery and need etched into them.
“What you did was illegal,” he said finally. “But I can’t ignore what I’ve seen here.” His voice was softer now, but there was still an underlying hardness. He stood up, looking at Maria with an unreadable expression. “I’ll think about what to do,” he said before leaving, leaving a sense of uncertainty in the air.
In the following days, the shelter was in a state of tense expectation. The children sensed Maria and the boys’ concern but didn’t fully understand what was happening. Jack and Alex continued to help Maria, but the feeling of imminent danger was constant. They knew Eduardo wouldn’t simply forget what had happened. They needed to be prepared for anything.
Meanwhile, Eduardo began investigating the shelter and its inhabitants more deeply. He discovered that one of the volunteers, a man named Michael, was actually an undercover investigator gathering evidence against him for months. Michael, who had always been kind and helpful with the children, now found himself in a delicate position. He needed to balance his role as the children’s protector and his job as an investigator.
“Michael, you know what’s at stake here,” he told himself one lonely night. He knew he had to act quickly. Eduardo was not a patient man, and his wrath could fall upon the shelter at any moment.
One silent night, Michael decided to reveal his true identity to Maria and the boys. He called them for a private conversation, away from the curious ears of the children.
“Maria, Jack, Alex, we need to talk,” he said, his tone serious.
Maria looked at him with a worried expression, while Jack and Alex felt a chill run down their spines.
“What is it, Michael?” Maria asked.
“My real name is Michael Thompson. I’m an undercover investigator. I’ve been here for months collecting evidence against Eduardo,” he confessed, leaving everyone in shock. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
Maria was speechless for a moment, trying to process the information. Jack and Alex looked at each other, feeling a mix of relief and concern.
“So you’re here to help us?” Jack asked, his voice full of hope.
“Yes, I am, but we need to be very careful. Eduardo is not a man who gives up easily,” Michael replied.
With Michael’s revelation, Maria, Jack, and Alex began planning the best way to protect the shelter and expose Eduardo. They knew it would be a tough battle, but they were determined to fight. While the children slept, they plotted strategies, discussing every detail to ensure everyone’s safety. Michael used his experience as an investigator to guide Maria and the boys, showing them how to act in dangerous situations.
“We need solid evidence, something that directly links Eduardo to his corrupt activities,” Michael said firmly.
“We have to act fast. He could come back at any moment,” agreed Maria, feeling the growing pressure.
With each passing day, the tension increased. Eduardo, aware of the investigation, intensified his surveillance, trying to uncover who was gathering information against him. Jack and Alex, despite the constant fear, were more determined than ever. They knew they were fighting for something bigger than themselves. They were fighting for all the children who had been forgotten by society.
And so, with renewed courage and a plan in mind, they prepared to face the challenge ahead. The battle against Eduardo would be tough, but they were ready to fight to the end.
The days following John Anderson’s arrest were filled with activity at the shelter. The community, now more aware of the children’s plight, mobilized to offer help in every possible way. Donations arrived daily, and volunteers came forward to help Maria, Jack, and Alex care for the little ones. Maria was busier than ever, organizing the new resources and ensuring everything was used in the best way possible. Jack and Alex, relieved by the support they received, dedicated themselves to helping Maria and the other children. But they knew Michael’s work was far from over.
Michael continued investigating the list of names and addresses he had found. He knew Eduardo’s network of corruption was extensive and that many were still involved in illegal activities. They needed to act carefully to dismantle the entire operation without putting the shelter at risk.
“We need to be very careful,” Michael often said, reinforcing the importance of caution.
Maria continued caring for the children with the same dedication and love, but now with constant concern. Jack and Alex, despite their youth, showed admirable courage, helping wherever they could and keeping a watchful eye for any signs of danger.
One night, while everyone in the shelter was asleep, a strange noise echoed through the walls. Michael, always alert, was the first to hear it and quickly got up, grabbing a flashlight and going out to investigate.
“Maria, stay here with the children. Jack and Alex, come with me,” he said, his voice firm but calm.
The brothers followed Michael, their hearts pounding with adrenaline. In the courtyard, they found one of the gates open and footprints in the wet earth. Michael pointed the flashlight in the direction of the footprints and signaled for the boys to stay quiet.
“Someone’s been here. We need to check if everyone is okay and make sure nothing was taken,” Michael whispered cautiously.
They checked the shelter and found everything in order, but the presence of the intruder left everyone on high alert. Michael reinforced the security, installing cameras and more robust locks.
“They’re trying to intimidate us,” said Maria with a worried expression.
“We won’t let that happen,” Michael replied, determined. “We’ll keep fighting.”
Meanwhile, the children, although not fully understanding the gravity of the situation, felt the tension in the air. Maria and the volunteers did their best to keep them occupied and distracted, organizing activities and games. One afternoon, while the children were playing in the courtyard, a group of volunteers arrived at the shelter with donations. Among them was Emily, a young lawyer who had heard about Maria’s struggle and decided to help.
“Hi, I’m Emily. I’m here to offer legal help and anything else you need,” she said with a warm smile.
Maria welcomed her gratefully, explaining the situation and showing her the shelter. Emily quickly integrated into the team, offering her legal knowledge to help protect the shelter and the children. With Emily’s support, Michael and Maria began to develop a more comprehensive plan to ensure the shelter’s security and future. They knew they needed to act quickly to dismantle the entire network of corruption.
“We need to ensure these children are legally protected,” said Emily, reviewing documents.
“And we need more community support. The more people know about our cause, the harder it will be for them to attack us,” added Michael.
In the following days, they organized community events to raise funds and awareness about the children’s situation. The response was impressive. The community rallied around the shelter, offering financial, material, and emotional support.
“I never thought we’d see such generosity,” said Maria, moved during one of the events.
“It shows we’re on the right path,” replied Michael, feeling more hopeful than ever.
But they knew the fight was far from over. Michael continued to investigate, gathering evidence against other members of Eduardo’s network. Each new discovery was a step closer to ensuring the shelter and the children’s safety.
One morning, while reviewing documents, Michael found a connection between Eduardo and an influential senator. He knew this information was crucial but also dangerous.
“We need to be extremely careful with this,” Michael told Maria and Emily.
“What did we find?” Jack asked, always curious and ready to help.
“Eduardo had connections with a senator. This explains a lot but also increases the risk. We need to act cautiously,” Michael explained.
With the new discovery, Michael and Emily decided to involve more authorities, ensuring the investigation was comprehensive and safe. They knew they were dealing with powerful and influential people but also knew they couldn’t give up.
While the investigation progressed, Maria, Jack, and Alex focused on ensuring the children had a safe and welcoming environment. They organized educational and recreational activities, trying to
maintain normality amidst the storm.
One night, while Michael was reviewing documents, he received a call from his contact in the police.
“Michael, we have a problem. The senator is aware of the investigation and might try to interfere,” said the policeman, concerned.
Michael felt a chill but remained calm. “I understand. We’ll redouble our efforts and ensure we have enough evidence,” he replied. Hanging up, he shared the news with Maria and Emily, who were equally worried but determined to continue.
“We can’t stop now. We’re so close,” said Emily firmly.
“I agree. Let’s keep going and ensure justice is done,” added Maria.
In the following days, the tension increased. They knew they could face a new threat at any moment but also knew they had the community’s and trusted authorities’ support.
One sunny afternoon, while the children were playing in the courtyard, Michael received an important call.
“Michael, we have a warrant for the senator’s arrest. The evidence you provided was sufficient,” said the policeman.
Michael felt immense relief and shared the news with Maria, Emily, Jack, and Alex, who celebrated another victory.
“We did it! The senator will be arrested,” he said, smiling.
The news was met with joy and relief. They knew this was a major victory but also understood that the fight against corruption and injustice was ongoing. In the following days, the shelter continued to strengthen. The community, now more united than ever, offered constant support. The children were happier and safer, and the future seemed more promising.
“We’ve made a difference,” said Maria, watching the children play.
“And we’ll continue to do so,” added Michael, smiling.
Jack and Alex, despite their youth, felt proud to be part of this fight. They knew there was still much to do, but they were ready to face any challenge alongside Maria, Michael, and Emily. Meanwhile, Eduardo and his allies, now imprisoned and powerless, reflected on their actions. They knew their empire of corruption was crumbling, and the possibility of redemption seemed increasingly distant.
The battle for justice was just beginning, and everyone at the shelter was ready to keep fighting. They knew that together they could make a difference and ensure a better future for all the children who depended on them.
The news of the senator’s arrest brought a wave of relief and celebration to everyone at the shelter. The children, though not fully comprehending the gravity of the events, felt the lighter, more hopeful atmosphere. The community, now more engaged than ever, continued to offer their support in every possible way.
One night, Maria, Michael, Emily, Jack, and Alex sat together, reflecting on all they had been through and how much they had accomplished.
“We managed to bring down Eduardo and his allies, but we need to ensure this never happens again,” Michael said, his expression serious.
“We have to keep fighting, even though most of the threat has been eliminated,” Maria agreed.
“And we need to make sure these children have a safe and bright future,” Emily added, looking at the boys.
Jack and Alex, who had grown so much during this journey, felt part of something bigger. They knew there was still much to do, but they were ready to face any challenge alongside their friends and protectors.
In the days following, the shelter began to transform. Donations increased, allowing Maria to buy more supplies and improve living conditions for the children. New volunteers arrived daily, bringing not only help but also hope and love. One morning, while Michael was reviewing some documents, he received an important call.
“Michael, this is the chief of police. We want to congratulate you on the excellent work. Your dedication was crucial in dismantling this corruption network,” said the police chief warmly.
Michael thanked him, feeling immense relief and satisfaction. He shared the news with Maria, Emily, Jack, and Alex, who celebrated another victory.
“We’re making a difference,” Michael said, smiling.
“And we’ll continue to make a difference,” Maria replied, determined.
With the shelter now safe and well-equipped, Maria and Michael began planning the children’s future. They wanted to ensure all the children had access to education, health care, and a safe environment to grow up in.
“We need to make sure these children have opportunities,” Maria said as they discussed plans.
“And we will. With the community’s support and the backing we have now, we can make a real difference,” Michael replied.
Jack and Alex, who had always been an essential part of this fight, began to dream about the future. Jack wanted to study law to continue fighting against corruption and protecting the vulnerable. Alex, inspired by Michael’s courage, wanted to become an investigator and help ensure justice was served.
“We have a bright future ahead, Alex,” Jack said, looking at his brother with pride.
“And we’ll do everything we can to make sure everyone here has the same,” Alex replied, determined.
Meanwhile, Emily worked to ensure all the children at the shelter had legal documents and were protected from any future threats. She spent long hours reviewing cases and ensuring each child had a safe path forward.
One afternoon, while everyone was busy with their tasks, they received an unexpected visit. It was George, the large bearded man who had helped Jack and Alex on a cold night.
“Hello, boys. I heard about everything that happened. I came to offer my help,” George said with a warm smile.
Jack and Alex ran to hug him, happy to see him again.
“George, we’re so happy to see you,” Jack exclaimed. “We need all the help we can get. Thank you for being here,” Maria said, grateful.
George quickly integrated into the shelter, helping with daily tasks and offering his experience to protect the children. His presence brought a sense of security and comfort to everyone.
With the continued support of the community and the tireless dedication of Maria, Michael, Emily, Jack, Alex, and George, the shelter thrived. The children were happier and safer, and the future seemed more promising than ever.
One peaceful night, as they watched the children play, Maria and Michael reflected on all they had achieved.
“We’ve been through so much, but we made it,” Maria said with a satisfied smile.
“And this is just the beginning. We’ll keep fighting for these children and ensure they have a bright future,” Michael replied, holding her hand.
Jack and Alex, sitting beside them, felt a sense of peace and accomplishment. They knew they had been part of something bigger, something that truly made a difference.
As the sun set on the horizon, the shelter was more alive than ever. The children’s laughter echoed in the air, a testament to the hope and resilience of all those who had fought to protect them. The future was full of promise, and everyone at the shelter was ready to face it, united and stronger than ever.
They knew the fight for justice and protection of the children was ongoing, but they were ready for any challenge, knowing that together they could make a difference. And so, with courage, determination, and love, they continued down the path of hope, ensuring each child had the chance for a better, brighter future.

17 Years Old Slept in His Friend’s House Then He Woke Up to Find Out the Shock of His Life –

Cody Dietz, a teenager from York, Pennsylvania, was your ordinary adolescent. As a 17-year-old, he enjoyed spending time with his peers and attending sleepovers on a regular basis. As it occurred, he’d been living a normal life until something happened one night that altered everything.
Cody’s mother, Bonnie, attempted to contact her son on his cell phone and inquire as to when he expected to return home, but he didn’t answer the call. When he didn’t return her call after a short period of time, she realized that something was seriously wrong. She tried calling him over and over again, but he didn’t pick up the phone. Bonnie began to feel apprehensive…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
More information on Cody’s story can be seen in the following video. Cody’s father’s phone finally rang, but it wasn’t Cody who was on the other end of the line. Cody’s companion informed them that Cody was unable to stand and was murmuring unintelligibly at the time of the incident. While he was holding the phone up to Cody’s mouth, all his father could hear was gurgling noises on the other end of it.
Cody’s parents were aware that something was badly wrong, and an ambulance was dispatched immediately. When the paramedics arrived, they initially thought Cody had suffered a stroke. However, he was later proved incorrect. He was flown to the nearest hospital in a rescue chopper as soon as they discovered him, and it was then that their fears were confirmed.
Dr. Ray Reischwein, the hospital’s neurologist, expressed considerable concern about Cody’s condition, saying, “The timeliness of the diagnosis is critical. Many of the therapies produce the best results when they’re completed within six hours.” Cody’s delay in receiving a diagnosis was approximately 12 hours.
In severe condition, Cody was sent to an MRI scan, which revealed that he had suffered a stroke on the left side of his brain. He only had a 20% chance of surviving the situation because of the amount of time that had gone between Cody’s stroke and his arrival at the hospital. Physicians were forced to undertake a difficult surgery that included the removal of the top of his skull in order to relieve the pressure on his brain. They would also reduce Cody’s body to 33 degrees Celsius or 91 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a process that’s commonly utilized on patients having open heart surgery and brain surgery. The cooling of the body minimizes the amount of oxygen consumed by the brain, preventing brain cells from being killed.
Cody spent three weeks in an induced coma following the procedure, during which time his parents feared for his life. During Bonnie’s time spent by her son’s bedside, trying not to lose hope, she recalled that Cody displayed signs of illness a week before suffering a stroke. He’d spoken slowly and garbled his words, and she’d seen that his limbs were twitching constantly throughout the conversation. The reason for this odd behavior had now been identified.
When Cody was brought out of his coma by physicians, the magnitude of the damage caused by the stroke was immediately apparent. The right side of his body was paralyzed, and he was unable to speak or write anymore. Doctors informed the family that their son’s rehabilitation would take a long time, and that they could not expect him to make a full recovery.
After a few weeks, Cody astonished everyone by regaining his ability to talk, and after two years of hard rehabilitation, he was back to his previous level of fitness. Following his horrific experience, Cody’s dedicated himself to educating other teenagers and their parents about the symptoms that can indicate the onset of a forthcoming stroke. “I wish I’d gone to the doctor sooner, but who knows what could have happened,” Cody said.
It’s also his mother, Bonnie, who’s been working tirelessly to raise awareness about the hazards and symptoms to watch out for. These include a feeling of faintness, facial paralysis, slurred speech, and eyesight issues. “My suggestion to parents is to not overlook any signals that their child may be experiencing,” Bonnie cautioned. “The most significant issue with strokes is that they’re extremely difficult for people to notice. It’s common for people to believe that strokes only occur in older people and to disregard the symptoms when they manifest themselves in younger adults and youngsters.”
The unfortunate irony of this is that doctors have actually detected a rise in the number of stroke cases among teenagers and children, and they believe this is due to an increase in the number of people living unhealthy lives. The fact is that many teenagers smoke, drink, and do drugs in the mistaken belief that they’re immortal. Unfortunately, many of them learn the hard way that they’re not, in fact, immortal.
Hopefully, by raising awareness among youth and their parents about the dangers of stroke and learning to recognize the signs and symptoms, strokes can be avoided or, at the very least, dealt with before it’s too late. The onset of a stroke can occur at any stage.
When Cody Dietz failed to awaken the morning after a party, his pals assumed he was suffering from a hangover and allowed him to sleep. They had no idea that their 17-year-old friend had suffered a stroke that may have resulted in his death, but it happened. The father of his friend contacted me and said, “Your son is stumbling around. Can I call 9-1-1?” Cody’s mother, Bonnie Dietz, recalled the events of July 30th, 2008, when Cody was killed. She explained that the boys had been drinking at another location the night before and had gone to his friend’s house thereafter.
A CAT scan performed at York Hospital’s emergency department revealed that her son had suffered a major left brain stroke. He was airlifted to Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center by Life Lion helicopter, whereas neurologist Dr. Ray Reichwein had no time to waste in making critical decisions on his behalf. “The diagnosis must be made within a specific time frame. Many of the treatments are most effective when administered within six hours. Cody’s delay in diagnosis was close to 12 hours,” said Reichwein, who was unable to administer some of the conventional treatments due to the delay in diagnosis.

Cody’s friend’s lack of knowledge is not uncommon. Most adults, let alone teenagers, are unaware that a teenager can suffer a stroke, according to medical professionals. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, stroke is one of the top 10 causes of mortality among children, and the number of children who die from it is increasing.
Reichwein, head of Hershey’s Stroke Program, said that over the past several years, the usual risk factors—things like obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, smoking, and a more sedentary lifestyle—have become more prevalent in children. Those risk factors are associated with a considerable increase in the rise of a stroke. To make matters worse, most teenagers are unaware of their risk factors, and they’re unaware that certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, using marijuana, or taking birth control pills, can put them at even greater risk of having a stroke, according to Kathy Morrison, manager of Hershey’s Stroke Program.
“Most teenagers are unaware of their risk factors,” she said. “Because teenagers believe they’re indestructible and believe that stroke is mainly a problem for old people, adolescent stroke isn’t even on their radar screen,” according to Morrison, who’s in charge of Hershey’s School Age Stroke Awareness Program.
When Cody’s story is told to kids, they’re very taken aback, she says. “It doesn’t get much more dramatic than this for him.” Cody was suffering from severe brain swelling, and there was nowhere for it to go. In the absence of further intervention, his type of stroke carries an 80% mortality risk, and his was likely close to 100%, said Reichwein, who removed part of Cody’s skull and extended the lining over the surface of the brain to reduce swelling.
Cody was next subjected to therapeutic hypothermia, in which his body was cooled to 33 degrees in order to aid in the survival of injured brain cells and the reduction of edema. After several days, the swelling had subsided to a minor degree. In spite of this, his mother stated, “We weren’t sure whether he would make it for another three weeks. We had a large number of people praying for him. His presence here, I believe, is solely due to the grace of God.”
In the wake of the stroke on his left brain side, Reichwein explained that his speech and understanding were impaired, as was his ability to use his right side and dominant hand. “We have such a positive outcome given the extent of his brain injuries. It’s nothing short of a miracle. I’m not the only one working here. There’s another women in their 20s and 30s who were on the birth control pill are among the young stroke victims seen by Robin Petras, executive and program director at the Central Pennsylvania Aphasia Center in Danville, who says she encounters a significant number of young stroke victims. Taking contraceptives has been linked to a higher risk of stroke than other health risks, in her opinion.
“When someone is young, they don’t necessarily identify the signs of a stroke, especially if they come and go,” according to Reichwein. It’s critical that people understand that strokes may occur at any age and they’re aware of these signs and symptoms, and that they do not disregard them because “time is brain,” as the saying goes.
One of the most common symptoms is a rapid onset of weakness, usually on one side of the body, such as facial drooping or arm weakness. Other symptoms include speech or language difficulties, visual loss or double vision, and a lack of coordination, according to him. A severe headache accompanied by neck stiffness could be an indication of an aneurysm. Heart attacks and strokes are similar in that both include vascular events, but a stroke is different in that it affects the brain rather than the heart, according to Morrison. Because stroke is not painful, people may choose to wait for the symptoms to subside, but this is the worst thing they can do.
Stroke may be prevented in 80% of cases if risk factors are controlled, according to Morrison, who believes that education is extremely crucial. Cody, now 21 years old, and his mother, who live in Lower Windsor Township, York County, share their experience with new workers at the medical center and at hospital grand rounds. Their story is also featured in a movie that’s presented at school in health fair presentations across the country.
“Don’t disregard any signals your youngster may have,” Bonnie Dietz advises parents. “This could be a TIA or mini-stroke,” according to Reichwein. Ignoring a TIA for three months increases the risk of stroke by 20%, according to Reichwein. Cody had multiple variables that put him at risk for a stroke while not having obvious warning signs. A pinhole in his heart and a genetic clotting issue were all hidden from him. He also drank that day during the party. “I wish I’d seen a doctor before my stroke, but who knows?”
Cody had to relearn everything from walking and talking to eating and writing throughout his five-week hospital stay and three-week rehabilitation stay. He still has three weekly sessions of PT, OT, vision, and aqua. Cody struggles to express himself, frustrate him every day, but he remains optimistic that he being present was a plus. His mom is always supportive.
“What has God promised you?” I constantly ask Cody. “Absolutely,” Cody said. “It’s happening.” Thanks for watching.
