Videos are available with subtitles

Sadie Wright’s family works hard to keep a positive attitude despite the challenges she faces with her condition, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Sadie sometimes feels frustrated because she deals with things that other kids do not have to, but her family makes sure to focus on the good parts of her life.

They celebrate the times when Sadie is not taking medicine and when she can go to school and take part in activities just like other kids. Instead of focusing on what she cannot do, her family emphasizes the things she can do, making sure that fun and positive moments are the focus.

This attitude helps Sadie see the bright side and keeps her feeling empowered despite the obstacles she faces.
