Financial hardships were rough on us, even though Mom had a good job at G.M.
I received thousands of letters of support from all around the world, all because I wanted to go to school.
My name is Ryan White. I am sixteen years old. I have hemophilia, and I have AIDS.
On December 17, 1984, I had surgery to remove two inches of my left lung due to pneumonia. After two hours of surgery the doctors told my mother I had AIDS.
Given six months to live and being the fighter that I am, I set high goals for myself.
I spent Christmas and the next thirty days in the hospital.
