So, I'm watching scared straight and cane across your story. Omg this sent chills down my spine!!! I've never seen someone so close to their brother how I am with mine. I lost my brother for 11 years. I'm sorry for your lost and I pray that time heals your pain. Nobody should ever feel such pain. Hold your mom and continue to make good memories with her. Life is too short to be living without a care. Be blessed baby girl.

I just finished watching Beyond Scared Straight. I want to leave my condolences to Asia and her mother. Asia, I don't know you, but I was so impressed with your attitude at the end of the program. You seemed so determined to turn your life around. I think you can grow up to be a great role model for your niece. I am so proud of you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers! Lean on God during those rough times. He understands more than anyone else out here. God bless you.

Keep strong in your faith and God will make sure you are alright.

I just finished watching Asia's episode of Beyond Scared Straight. I was cheering for her to succeed! Your family's light truly shined through. I cried and am still crying as I think about how her brother became her guardian angel! I felt his love for his sister! I had to goggle him until I found a way to reach out to the family.
Thank you for the opportunity to see how God worked through this young man to save his sister. I know he touched many others like me! R.I.P Xavier!
