Gigi Hadid, Anwar Hadid, Yolanda Foster and Bella Hadid
In her battle against Lyme disease, Yolanda Foster is not alone. Sadly, two of her children are also suffering from the tickborne illness as well.
"When my two youngest children, Bella and Anwar, were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in early 2012, watching my babies struggle in silence in order to support me in my journey, struck the deepest core of hopelessness inside of me," the 51 year old lady opened up on Thursday night with reference to her daughter- Bella Hadid and Anwar Hadid who are 18 and 16 years old respectively.
In 2012, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was diagnosed with Lyme disease and has since enjoyed the support of family and friends- including her husband- David Foster, daughter Gigi Hadid, Bella, Anwar, her mother and Gigi"s boyfriend- Joe Jonas. They were also present to support her when she accepted the "Power of One" award in New York with her eldest daughter having the honor of introducing her mother.
"I remember when she was going into the first season of filming, she said to me, "I don"t know why this show was brought to my life, but for some reason, I think it will lead to something bigger,"" 20 year old Gigi said onstage.
"She realized that she could use this platform of this world-famous television show to spread awareness. She was honest, unapologetic, and raw in how she portrayed Lyme disease on social media and on the show from the second she announced to the world she had been diagnosed."
Yolander Foster dedicated her honors to her children.
"This award is for Anwar and Bella. This is my token and my promise to you that I will not allow you to live a life of pain and suffering. I will walk to the end of the earth to find a cure so that you can live a healthy life that you deserve," her impassioned speech read.
"No child should suffer the way that you do ... I thank you both for your extraordinary selflessness during this journey. Your unwavering love and compassion has kept me alive and fighting through the darkest days of my life."
