  • I started following you because my little brother is Hard of Hearing and I’m teaching him ASL. I’m missing parts of my hand and a muscle in my arm. This was so, so important for me, and I want to give you props for making this. It hit me like a truck. Also, I call my hand my lucky fin, so props for using terms that people with limb differences actually use! ❤
  • So beautiful! It was an honor to act in this. You're a fantastic writer and director. <3

    Besides the message, it's also important to be aware of that kids don't do what we consider to be rude because they are mean, but because it's normal to them. They don't know much of society and are naturally curious about what's going on.
  • @themaple_dove
    I love the short films you produce! The ambience and disabled rep, and they just draw you in!
  • @Jejor
    Grettings from Uruguay to everyone who is reading this!
  • @VioletEmerald
    This was really well done, simple and sweet. Thank you for this short film! :) Representation of all types certainly matters indeed :)

    A guy that used to go to my church always told little kids that an alligator had eaten his hand (he was actually born without it). He also took part in at least one skit that involved his "hand" being "removed" with ketchup for special effects.

    This is such a great little video. It shows a lot of understanding and that being unlike others is okay and not something to be ashamed of. Everyone should be inclusive of everyone else regardless of what's going on with them physically or mentally. Thank you so much for sharing this!
  • @jameseiner
    I expected to be emotionally touched by this, but i didn't expect the sobbing that took place. This was beautiful, thank you for making this and thanks to all the people involved!
  • @citizen_wayne
    You're incredible. Just read the full description. You all did a wonderful job!
  • @MrVitale119
    You're an amazing woman. Stay blessed, Chrissy.
  • @plutonis6562
    Beautifully done, and a very important reminder.
  • This was so beautiful. The girl seemed to be really deeply touched. Thank you so much!
  • @TobiasMelchers
    Just beautiful. I started following you, just because I admired your encouragement to the hearing impaired and your personality. For some reason I now feel the urge to learn ASL, despite being not being affected myself, nor even knowing anyone who is. Anyhow, thank you for sharing your perspective.

    This really is beautiful. I had an accident when I was 10 that left my arm with no feeling and lots of damage. Made me miss a lot as a kid. But through therapy I met very similar people, none quite as young as me but friends nonetheless. Thank you for this.
  • This film is so good. It drew me in and I didn't know what to expect, but as a teacher this was so heart warming and I love the message.
