Disfigured man with neurofibromatosis launches “Just Ask!” campaign!

Reggie Bibbs has lived with neurofibromatosis (NF) all his life. NF causes tumors to grow throughout the body sometimes causing pain, disfigurement and even death. Because of his disfigurement, Reggie has led a fairly sheltered life leaving the house only to go to places where people knew him. Well, until now!

Reggie, I was up last night and a show on TLC was on and I was listening to your story and it hit me hard. It reminded me of my Grandmother who died two months ago from a ten year fight against breast cancer. It brought tears to my eyes and I wanted you to know that your fight against NF tumors along with some truly disrespectful people that you might have come across on your journey of dealing with this hardship, made me realize that even though I do not know, and even though I have never met you or talked to you, I truly respect and care about you from the bottom of my heart.

Hey Reggie, you know at times i think i face the biggest problems in life. I used to think God had a certain grudge against me, and then I came across your documentary on National Geographic.. I want you to know that though I haven’t met you, you are a life saver. There was actually a point of time when I was ready to suicide and put an end to all the menace. But then it occurred to me, you are facing problems which are way worse than mine.. You stand strong and the way you decided to take that flight in the documentary to meet a guy with the same problem is just amazing.. It really you know kinda pumped me up.. I would really like to be your friend and help you out in any way possible.. As long as there is hope, u must keep going.. Not for me, but for your family.. Once u make it through this ordeal, there is a better life that awaits you and a beautiful woman who will love you no matter what..

Please mail me, my email id is mohit.dreamliner@gmail.com. I am an Indian, and India is known for its doctors and cheap medical practices. I would love to go around asking doctors for advices and even help for you. Just get back to me.. And i don’t know if you have heard this song, but I want you to hear it if u haven’t. Its called ‘Beautiful’ and the artist is Eminem. Please hear it, its definetly gonna boost your morale.

Till then, please take care and play safe.

Dear Reggie,

I am moved beyond words by your positive and spiritual outlook on life and the circumstances you’ve dealt with. I hope you know that I feel God has blessed your heart with the ability to communicate love, caring and acceptance in a world that rewards the opposite.

I pray that you read this and know that I admire and respect you immensely and wish you nothing but love and kindness.

Sincerely,

Todd K.

Dear Reggie,
I have watched you on TV and I didn’t see a monster in you, instead I saw a man who loved life and everything about it.The people who have both physically and verbally hurt you are mean and cruel. I wish there is something more that I can do to help support NF.I just hope that you know that many of us are behind you.

Thank you,
Gianna S.

Dear Reggie,

I saw the documentary about NF on Dutch television. And I was really moved while watching it.
You are a very special and sweet person and I (like also a lot of other people I read) have a lot of respect for you and the way you live. And that is what is so important in this world, caring for – and respect each other, and having the possibility to have a good and full life also when a person is a bit “different ‘ from the rest. And I hopeand know you’ll have a good influence on people who also struggle with something difficult in their lives.

I wish you all the luck in your further life. And if you would like to reply to this pls do!
You can always email me about your life or whatever you would like to email about.

Best regards from Elisa
