Cancer survivor Tia Bee Stokes, known for her viral dance videos during her health battle, recently posted a heartwarming video testing her siblings' generosity. In the video, she messaged all six of her siblings, asking for $100.
Stokes offered no explanation except that she was in a fix and needed the money sent to her Venmo, with a promise to pay them back. In each reply, all her siblings agreed without hesitation and judgment, with no questions asking for what or why. One of Stokes' brothers even gave her five times the requested amount to ensure she was fully covered.
Stokes' video reminds those of us with siblings how willing they are to support us in times of need. In the comment section, other users share equally touching stories of their siblings supporting them through challenging situations with financial assistance or other means. However, for some, Stokes' post was a realization of the lack of support from their own family members. Not everyone has support from their siblings or other family members, but Stokes' video is a reminder that having a support system—whether it be relatives or your chosen family—is important, especially during difficult times.
Diagnosed in 2020 with acute myeloid leukemia, Stokes' doctor advised her to spend 15 minutes a day doing something to keep her going. She started sharing daily dance videos on TikTok and updates on her chemo journey. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Stokes was often isolated in her hospital room due to her cancer treatment. However, she found an online community that offered her support.
“I want people to see hope,” Stokes told People. “It's been amazing, the people that message me on the daily that are going through not just cancer, but other things, whether it's mental health or whether it's suicidal thoughts, or whether it's they got diagnosed with a different type of cancer or a tumor.”
Currently in remission, Stokes still shares dancing videos to spread positivity and inspirational posts and stories.
