Seth Lane is 5 years old. This little Englishman with a devastating smile was born with an extremely rare genetic pathology: he is ” bubble child », That is to say that his immune defenses are strongly weakened, or even nonexistent. Clearly, the slightest illness, the slightest cold could be fatal.
Seth has already lived almost half of his (short) life locked in a sterile hospital room. Today he hopes for a bone marrow transplant. In the meantime, his mother had an idea: she shot a video of the little boy, in which he introduces himself … and asks his spectators to dress in yellow (his favorite color) on March 27, history of supporting him in his ordeal.
The idea? Then send him a photo on social media with the hashtag #wearyellowforseth. And the video quickly went viral: in 6 days, it has already totaled nearly 2.5 million views. An “incredible” figure according to Seth’s mother, who only hoped to reach friends of the family.
” It’s very hard “
“Seth has no contact with other children his age, not even with his little brother, Hugo,” says Nik, the little boy’s dad. We are very vigilant about his health: we wash his clothes at 60 °, the air in his room is constantly filtered, and we boil his lint and the sheets on his bed every day. In addition, we are also very careful about our health: if we catch an illness, even a small cold, we cannot approach our son, it is very hard. “
